Debt from Innoven could be a part of the above amount. We have reached out to BharatPe to confirm if their investment is new or existing. Sources close to the fintech firm added that BharatPe chose debt as it is close to break-even and didn’t want to dilute equity. BharatPe raised its last equity round in August 2021 when it also checked into 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. According to TheArch report, BharatPe’s operating revenue increased by 16%, reaching Rs 1,370 crore in FY24, up from Rs 1,029 crore in FY23. The six-year-old company also reported a 70% reduction in losses, bringing them down to Rs 270 crore in the last fiscal year.
