• Easebuzz plans to raise $30 million in a new funding round at an estimated $250 million valuation
• Both new and existing investors, including Bessemer Venture Partners, are in discussions to participate
• The proposed fundraise could accelerate Easebuzz’s growth strategy and IPO plans over the next 2-3 years

Payments solutions provider Easebuzz is in advanced discussions to raise around $30 million in a new funding round, according to people familiar with the matter. The round is expected to value the Pune-based company at over $250 million post-money and may see participation from both existing backers and new global investors.

The talks come just months after Easebuzz closed its $30 million Series A round in April. Sources said the company has been in discussions with several international funds over the past quarter, signaling strong investor interest in India’s payments infrastructure space.

The potential fundraise follows key regulatory and business milestones for Easebuzz. Recently, the Reserve Bank of India cleared the company to offer online, offline, and cross-border payment solutions. This approval allows Easebuzz to significantly expand its product portfolio and address a wider range of merchant needs.

Easebuzz has also reported strong financial performance. In FY25, the company recorded a 2.3 times jump in operating revenue and posted a profit after tax of Rs 19 crore. Founded in 2016, Easebuzz now serves over 2.5 lakh merchants and processes more than 3 million transactions every day. Its annualized gross transaction value has crossed $50 billion.

During its previous funding round led by Bessemer Venture Partners, the company had indicated plans to explore an initial public offering within two to three years. Sources suggest the upcoming capital raise could help accelerate that timeline by supporting faster expansion across small businesses and mid-sized enterprises.

Easebuzz plans to focus on sector-specific payment and reconciliation solutions, where it believes traditional gateways fall short. The company competes with major players such as Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU, Pine Labs, and CCAvenue.

Easebuzz has raised $34 million so far. If completed, this round would rank among the largest recent growth-stage deals in India’s payments sector.
