Exclusive: Mintoak to raise fresh funding at Rs 2,500 Cr valuation Merchant SaaS platform Mintoak is set to raise Rs 53.3 crore (about $6 million) in its ongoing Series A round from its existing investors Paypal and Pravega Ventures. This follows the company’s $8 million secondary transaction completed in January this year. The Mintoak board has approved the issuance of 21,422 Series A2 preference shares at an issue price of Rs 24,879 per share, raising a total of Rs 53.30 crore, according to filings with the Registrar of Companies (RoC). PayPal Ventures will invest Rs 35.53 crore (around $4 million) while Pravega Ventures will contribute with Rs 17.76 crore ($2 million) investment to increase its stake in the firm. As per Entrackr’s estimates, the company will be valued at around Rs 2,500 crore ($280 million) on a post-money basis. The fresh funds will be utilised to support expansion plans and meet the company’s funding requirements. According to startup data intelligence platform TheKredible, Mintoak has raised over $30 million to date including its $20 million Series A round raised in Feb 2023 led by Paypal. Following the allotment of the latest infusion, PayPal Ventures will hold a 9.02% stake in Mintoak, while Pravega Ventures will own 18.3%. Founded by Raman Khanduja, Rama Tadepalli, and Sanjay Nazareth, the company’s product suite includes a range of SaaS offerings that help banks and merchant acquirers connect with their small and medium enterprise (SME) customers and drive the cross-sell of financial products. For the fiscal year ended March 2025, Mintoak’s revenue from operations grew 27.9% year-on-year to Rs 92.85 crore from Rs 72.59 crore in FY24. The fintech firm also reported a 56% jump in net profit to Rs 35.58 crore during the year, compared to Rs 22.76 crore in FY24. Shortly after the secondary fundraise, Mintoak acquired fintech startup Digiledge, which focuses on bill payments and Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) solutions, in a deal whose value was not disclosed. The acquisition supports Mintoak’s strategy to help banks and acquirers deepen merchant engagement, improve retention, and unlock new revenue opportunities.
