With a 41.6 percent interest in Perfios, Warburg continues to be one of the company's top shareholders.

Debshish Chakraborty and VR Govindarajan, the two cofounders, currently own 7.3 percent and 7.5 percent of the company, respectively, while long-time investor Bessemer owns 32.1 percent.

The Bengaluru-based firm provides financial institutions with a software technology platform that allows them to gather, consolidate, and analyse financial data in order to improve credit evaluation. By analysing financial data such as bank statements, taxes, and business financials, it also assists financial institutions in creating reports and monitoring fraud.

The company also requested board approval to raise Rs 300 crore (approximately $40 million) through the issuing of non-convertible debentures at an extraordinary general meeting on February 10.
