Fintech firm BharatPe has raised Rs 85 crore (approximately $10 million) in debt through non-convertible debentures. This is the second debt infusion in the Peak XV and Coatue-backed company in 2024. The board at BharatPe has issued 500 Series E1 debentures at Rs 10,00,000 each and 3,500 Series F1 debentures at Rs 1,00,00 each to raise Rs 85 crore, its regulatory filing with the Registrar of Companies shows. Trifecta Venture debt pumped in Rs 50 crore while Innoven Capital participated with Rs 35 crore, shows filing. As per Entrackrโ€™s sources, BharatPe completed its $100 million debt round early this year. InnoVen Capital was expected to pump in $60-70 million in BharatPe whereas Credit Saison invested the remaining capital in the Delhi-based companyโ€™s NBFC arm Trillion Loans. 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 didnโ€™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, BharatPeโ€™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.

Omnichannel retailer Bluestone has raised Rs 100 crore or $12 million in debt from Neo Markets. This is the third debt investment for the Bengaluru-based company this year. The board at Bluestone has passed a special resolution to issue 10,000 debentures at Rs 1,00,000 each to raise the above-mentioned sum, its regulatory filings sourced from the Registrar of Companies show. The development has come at a time when the Peak XV-backed company reportedly aims to raise $100 million in its pre-IPO round. As per media reports, the pre-IPO funding will be a mix of primary and secondary where the early backers may score hefty returns. The company has raised around $190 million to date including $66 million from Ranjan Pai and others in September last year. According to the startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Accel is the largest stakeholder amongst investors with 21.2% followed by Kalari Capital which holds 12.35% of the company. Founded in 2011 by Gaurav Singh Kushwaha, Bluestone provides an extensive jewelry collection for both men and women, available through its website and network of offline stores. According to the firmโ€™s website, it operates over 190 stores across 75 cities. Bluestone continued to grow its revenue and narrow losses in the fiscal year ending March 2023. During FY23, the firm achieved 65% year-on-growth and its collection stood at Rs 787 crore while its losses dwindled 87% to Rs 167 crore. Itโ€™s yet to file its annual results for FY24. It directly competes with Melorra, Giva, and CaratLane. Titan, which owned 99.64% stake in CaratLane, recently said that it will buy the remaining 0.36% stake of the company for Rs 60.08 crore ($7.2 million).
