Pine Labs-owned Setu to acquire 100% stake in Agya Technologies Fintech unicorn Pine Labs plans to fully consolidate its ownership in RBI-licensed account aggregator Agya Technologies through its fintech infrastructure arm, Setu. According to a regulatory filing, the RBI has approved Setu (BrokenTusk Technologies Pvt Ltd) to increase its stake to 100% in Agya Technologies Pvt Ltd, which until now has operated as an associate company of Setu. Pine Labs already has around 25% stake in Agya Technologies and the company plans to complete the acquisition of the remaining stake in the near term, potentially in one or more tranches, according to the filing. This development follows Pine Labs' successful acquisition of all three digital payment licences from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI). These licences cover offline payments, online merchant payments, and cross-border transactions, enabling the company to offer a complete range of digital payment services across all merchant interaction points. On the financial front, Pine Labs’ revenue increased to Rs 650 crore in Q2 FY26 from Rs 551 crore in the same quarter last year. Pine Labs reported a net profit of Rs 6 crore in Q2 FY26 versus a loss of Rs 32 crore in Q2 FY25. Pine Labs made a positive debut on the public markets, listing at a 9.5% premium over its issue price. The stock opened at Rs 242 per share against the IPO price of Rs 221, giving the Peak XV-backed firm a stable start on the NSE and BSE. The company’s share is trading at Rs 240.85, giving it a market capitalization of Rs 26,406 crore (approx $2.9 billion).

Pine Labs receives Singapore Court nod to shift base to India

Pine Labs receives Singapore Court nod to shift base to India
Medial

Merchant commerce and payments platform Pine Labs has received approval from Singapore Court to amalgamate its Singapore entity, Pine Labs Limited (PLS) with its Indian company, Pine Labs Private Limited (PLI). PSL’s whole undertaking including all assets and liabilities shall be transferred and vested in PLI according to the amalgamation agreement, according to PLS’s regulatory filing in Singapore. All the shareholders of PLS (Singapore entity) will become Pine Labs Private Limited (PLI) shareholders and any pending legal proceedings against PSL shall be continued by PLI after the arrangement. The filing further states that following the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) order filed with the Registrar of Companies, the Singapore entity shall be dissolved without undergoing winding up. TechCrunch reported the development first. Pine Labs provides merchants with a variety of products and services, including cloud-connected point-of-sale machines, gifting and credit. Pine Labs has become the third fintech company after PhonePe and Groww which relocated its domicile to India from overseas. Currently, a clutch of fintech firms including KreditBee, Razorpay, Meesho, and Zepto have been working on shifting their ultimate holding entities to India. Most recently, Flipkart was in the headlines for shifting its base to India from Singapore. In April, US-based investment firms Baron Funds and Invesco marked up the valuation of Pine Labs to $5.8 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively. It’s worth noting that the valuation plays a crucial role in deciding the quantum of tax liabilities for shifting the domicile. Pine Labs has been trying for initial public offerings for the past few years. Last year, it also finalized bankers for the IPO in the US but the attempt didn’t materialize. The firm has not disclosed the timeline of listing on the bourses. Of late, fintech companies have been laying emphasis to be headquartered in India as regulators’ job become easier as far as diligence and monitoring are concerned. However, the reverse flips require hefty tax liabilities. For context, PhonePe’s investors paid Rs 8,000 crore in taxes to complete the process.
