History
Summarize
Perspective
According to Peerzada Abrar of Business Standard, "BharatPe was founded in 2018 by Ashneer Grover and Shashvat Nakrani, with the vision of making financial inclusion a reality for Indian merchants."[6]
In 2021, the company acquired Payback India, a "multi-brand loyalty programme".[7][8]
In April 2024, BharatPe elevated Nalin Negi as its CEO, 15 months after he took over as the interim CEO and CFO in January 2023.[9]
On 20 August 2024, BharatPe announced extending its credit offerings for its merchants to secured loans. The company will now enable secured two-wheeler loans and Loans Against Mutual Funds (LAMF) through lending partners OTO Capital for two-wheeler loans and Volt Money for LAMF.[10][11]
2023 data theft allegations
In 2023 Ashneer Grover, who had left the company, accused his fellow co-founder Bhavik Koladiya of data theft. Grover claimed that Koladiya, who has since left BharatPe, had stolen data of 150 million users.[12] In November 2023, BharatPe filed a petition against Ashneer Grover for allegedly disclosing confidential information.[13] BharatPe announced on Sep 30 2024 that it had reached a settlement with him. Under this agreement, a portion of his shares will be transferred to the Resilient Growth Trust. Both sides have consented to refrain from any legal proceedings as part of the settlement[14].
