Indian payments firm Razorpay announced that it has secured US$160 million during its Series E funding round which has tripled its valuation to US$ 3 billion.
The funding round was co-led by GIC, Sequoia along with Ribbit Capital and Matrix Partners.
Razorpay said that a portion of the funds raised will be allocated to “develop tailored products on a new tech stack to further enhance convenience and security”.
The company also plans on increasing the disbursement of working capital to businesses from Rs 700 crores (US$ 93.5 million) per month to Rs 1000 crores (US$133.5 million) per month.
Razorpay added that it is also currently evaluating an expansion into South East Asia.
In October 2020, Razorpay had obtained unicorn status when it secured US$100 million in Series D financing round.

“From payments to business banking to working capital, we have built products with the singular commitment we have to our customers. Today we are a fintech partner enabling end-to-end money movement and building the central nervous system for Indian businesses.
