Exclusive: Decentro to kick off Series B round led by Info Edge

Exclusive: Decentro to kick off Series B round led by Info Edge Y-Combinator-backed fintech startup Decentro is set to raise Rs 26.3 crore (around $3 million) in its Series B round led by Info Edge, with participation from Stargazer Ventures and Infinyte Club Angel Fund. This funding comes nearly 2.5 years after the company raised $4.7 million in a round led by Rapyd Ventures, Leonis VC, and Uncorrelated Ventures, with participation from Kunal Shah (Founder and CEO of CRED), Lalit Keshre (Co-founder and CEO of Groww), and other angel investors. The Decentro’s board passed a resolution to approve the issue of 2 equity shares and 14,260 Series B CCPS at an issue price of Rs 18,442 each, to raise Rs 26.3 crore or $3 million, its regulatory filings accessed from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) show. Info Edge is set to lead the round with an investment of Rs 25 crore, while Stargazer Ventures and Infinyte Club Angel Fund will contribute Rs 1 crore and Rs 30 lakh, respectively. Founded in 2020, Decentro is an API platform that simplifies banking integrations for businesses, enabling them to quickly launch and scale financial products. It offers a full-stack solution for onboarding, account creation, payments, and other banking services, allowing companies to focus on their core offerings. This will be the first instance for the Singapore-based company to raise funding via an Indian entity. As per its consolidated financial statements filed with the Registrar of Companies (RoC), Decentro reported a 47% year-on-year increase in operating revenue to Rs 17.7 crore in FY24, up from Rs 12 crore in FY23. However, the company slipped into a loss of Rs 2.46 crore during the same period, after posting a profit in the previous fiscal.
