Exclusive: Dhan parent to acquire Elevation Capital-backed Infinyte Club
Medial

Raise Fintech Ventures Private Limited, the parent entity of stock broking platform Dhan, is set to acquire wealthtech startup Infinyte Club, according to sources aware of the development. This will be the second acquisition for the Pravin Jadhav-led company in the past 15 months. “This will be a 100% acquisition, and Infinyte co-founder Ankita Tandon will head Raise Financial’s wealth management arm,” said one of the sources, requesting anonymity. Tandon was previously associated with Unacademy as VP, served as Chief of Staff at Zivame, and was COO at CouponDunia. Founded in 2023 by Tandon and Joylita Saldanha, Infinyte Club enables users to access private market investment opportunities while also addressing ESOP liquidity challenges for early employees. The company has raised over $3.6 million in funding from investors such as Elevation Capital, along with angel investors including Kunal Shah, Vidit Aatrey, Gaurav Munjal, and Harshil Mathur. “The terms of the deal have been finalised, but approval from Raise’s board is still pending,” said a second source, requesting anonymity. “The transaction will be a mix of cash and stock, valuing Infinyte Club at $13–15 million.” Entrackr has reached out to Infinyte Club and Raise Financials for comment. In October last year, Dhan’s parent turned unicorn after raising $120 million in a Series B round led by Hornbill Capital. While the firm has yet to report FY26 numbers, its revenue from operations rose to Rs 877 crore in FY25. During the last fiscal year, Raise Financials’ profit also jumped 2.6X to Rs 408 crore from Rs 159 crore in FY24. In January 2025, Raise acquired Filter Coffee, a new-age financial media startup. The latter joined Raise Financial’s ecosystem, which also includes the upskilling platform Valuationary and Moneylicious. The acquisition could plug a key gap in Raise’s ecosystem by adding access to private markets and ESOP liquidity solutions, areas not fully addressed by Dhan so far. Infinyte Club’s offering allows Raise to move beyond public market investing and strengthen its play in wealth management, especially for startup employees and high-growth company stakeholders.

Exclusive: Dhan delivers 45X returns to Kunal Shah, PhonePe founders and other angels Fintech investing platform Dhan has facilitated early-stage exits, with several angels and early investors securing hefty returns through a secondary transaction executed alongside its ongoing Series B round, according to sources aware of the matter. “Few angels who are building competing businesses, including Cred’s Kunal Shah, Miten Sampat, and members of the PhonePe founding network, have secured a full exit, generating nearly a 45X return in under four years,” said one of the sources, requesting anonymity. “This is one of the quickest and highest-multiple exits for angel investors in fintech in recent memory,” said the source cited above. According to the sources, early backers Mirae, Beenext, and 3one4 Capital have sold part of their holdings, earning 9–10X returns within three years. The secondary component was executed in parallel with Dhan’s $120 million Series B round, led by Hornbill Capital and featuring participation from MUFG Bank, Beenext, and a pool of public-market investors and family offices. Dhan currently has $160–180 million in cash on its balance sheet, and the primary money from the Series B will also be utilised for the acquisition of Statzy and some more potential startups, the sources added. Entrackr reached out to Dhan on Thursday for comments on the secondary transaction and will update the story if they respond. Kunal Shah and Miten Sampat declined to comment. PhonePe co-founders confirmed the exit but did not comment on returns earned. We have also reached out to Beenext, 3One4 Capital, and Mirae Asset. Founded in 2021 by Pravin Jadhav, Dhan operates as a stockbroking and investment platform aimed at active traders and Gen Z investors. It offers equity, ETF, and futures and options trading across NSE, BSE, and MCX, along with integrations for smallcase, TradingView, and MoneyControl to enhance user experience. Financially, Dhan has reportedly achieved strong performance, clocking around Rs 900 crore in revenue during FY25 against Rs 380 crore in FY24, while maintaining cash-flow positivity for multiple years. Dhan joins the growing list of profitable stockbroking unicorns in India, alongside Zerodha, Groww, and Angel One.
