BharatPe appoints Nalin Negi as full time CEO
Medial

Fintech company BharatPe today announced the elevation of Nalin Negi as its chief executive officer (CEO). Negi, the former chief financial officer of the company, was appointed as the interim CEO in January last year. BharatPe will institute a search for appointment of a new CFO, the company said in a press release. BharatPe claims that it recorded 182% increase in revenue from operations in FY23 and clocked October 2023 as the first EBITDA positive month under Negi leadership. Nalin Negi joined BharatPe in 2022 and in his new role he will focus on leading the next phase of development, driving innovation to empower merchants across the country, as per the statement. Prior to joining BharatPe, Negi held several senior leadership positions at SBI Cards and GE Capital. “..Going forward, our strategic focus will be on sustained profitability, scaling lending businesses, and launching new merchant-centric products…,” said Negi in a statement. BharatPe has been going through transformation to strengthen the leadership team across three verticals. The firm recently reshuffled its three verticals- Resilient Innovations Private Limited (merchant app), Resilient Payments Private Limited (Payment unit), and Resilient Digi Services Private Limited (lending unit). Entrackr exclusively reported the development last week. BharatPe completed its $100 million debt round from InnoVen Capital and Credit Saison. Entrackr exclusively reported this in January. Financially, BharatPe also seems to be getting back on track as the firm claimed that its annualized revenue crossed Rs 1,500 crore, marking over 30% growth as compared to FY23. In FY23, it crossed Rs 1,000 crore revenue mark while its EBITDA loss went up 9% to Rs 772 crore.

Exclusive: BharatPe set to raise $80-100 Mn pre-IPO round led by Coatue BharatPe is in advanced talks to raise $80-$100 million in a pre-IPO round led by Coatue Management, according to two people aware of the matter. This equity funding marks the first such raise in four years for the Delhi-based fintech unicorn. “The round will also see participation from some new and existing investors. This is aimed at strengthening the company’s financial position and setting the stage for an eventual public listing,” said one of the sources, requesting anonymity as the talks are private. As per sources, the investment is being spearheaded by Coatue’s new partner Amit Mukherjee, who has been actively working with BharatPe’s management and board on IPO preparations. Last week, BharatPe’s CEO Nalin Negi also said that the firm will go for a pre-IPO round but ruled out a listing this fiscal (FY26). According to another source, the company wants to ensure consistent profitability before filing draft papers. BharatPe declined to comment on the story while queries sent to Coatue did not elicit an immediate response. BharatPe raised its last equity round in August 2021 when it also entered the unicorn club. It has raised over $650 million in equity and debt from the likes of Tiger Global, Dragoneer Investment Group, Steadfast Capital, Coatue Management, Ribbit Capital and others. BharatPe recently claimed that it turned profitable in FY25 with a profit before tax of Rs 6 crore (excluding ESOP costs) on revenues of Rs 1,800 crore. This marks a turnaround for the firm which had been loss-making for several years. The company already achieved a break-even at the EBITDA level (adjusting for employee stock options) during the first nine months of FY25 while its net losses declined to Rs 148.8 crore in the same period. In April, BharatPe’s subsidiary Resilient secured final approval from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to operate as an online payment aggregator. This makes BharatPe one of the few Indian fintech companies to hold an NBFC license (through Trillion Loans), a stake in a small finance bank (Unity SFB), and now a payment aggregator license.
