Payments infrastructure company Juspay has raised $50 million in a Series D follow-on funding round led by WestBridge Capital, valuing the company at $1.2 billion. The fresh capital marks another milestone in Juspay’s journey from a homegrown Indian startup to a global payments backbone for enterprises and banks, as it doubles down on international expansion and deepens its technology capabilities.
The funding comes at a time when digital transaction volumes are exploding worldwide, pushing merchants and financial institutions to seek full-stack, scalable and highly reliable payments infrastructure that can operate seamlessly across geographies.

Funding Mix: Growth Capital and Liquidity for Early Believers
The Series D follow-on round includes a mix of primary and secondary transactions. While the primary capital will be deployed to fuel Juspay’s global expansion and strengthen its core technology stack, the secondary portion will provide liquidity to early investors and employees holding ESOPs.
Notably, this is the second liquidity event Juspay has facilitated within a year, underlining the company’s focus on rewarding long-term stakeholders even as it scales aggressively.
Global Ambitions: From India to the World
Juspay plans to use the fresh capital to expand its footprint across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America, Europe, the UK and North America—regions where digital payments are growing rapidly but infrastructure remains fragmented.
By entering these markets, Juspay aims to position itself as a core payments infrastructure provider, not just a payment gateway or orchestration layer. The company believes that global commerce needs open, interoperable and modular systems that can support massive transaction volumes while remaining compliant with local regulations.
Investing Heavily in Infrastructure and AI
A significant portion of the funding will go into strengthening Juspay’s payments infrastructure and advancing its artificial intelligence capabilities.
AI is increasingly becoming central to Juspay’s strategy—both to enhance merchant experience and to improve internal productivity and system reliability. From intelligent routing of transactions to predictive failure detection and faster reconciliation, Juspay is betting on AI to reduce friction in digital payments at scale.
“Our focus over the last decade has been on solving the core complexities of global payments through first-principles engineering and design,” said Sheetal Lalwani, co-founder and COO of Juspay.
“This round reflects our growth and provides liquidity opportunities for our early investors and team members who have been part of this journey.”
Why WestBridge Backed Juspay
According to WestBridge Capital, Juspay’s transformation into a full-stack payments infrastructure provider was a key driver behind the investment decision.
“They have moved from payment orchestration to building core payments infrastructure for banks and enterprises, while maintaining a sustainable growth trajectory,” said Deepak Ramineedi, partner at WestBridge Capital.
Unlike many payments startups that chase volume at the cost of margins, Juspay has focused on building deep infrastructure, long-term contracts and sustainable unit economics, making it attractive to long-term capital.
A Payments Giant Operating at Massive Scale
Founded in 2012, Juspay today processes over 300 million transactions every day and has crossed an annualised Total Payment Volume (TPV) of $1 trillion. Its client roster includes global and Indian giants such as Amazon, Google, Flipkart, Swiggy, Zepto, HSBC, Agoda, IndiGo and Zurich Insurance.
The company’s ability to handle mission-critical payment flows at scale has made it a trusted partner for enterprises and banks that cannot afford downtime or failure.
Profitable Growth Sets Juspay Apart
In an ecosystem where many fintechs still burn cash, Juspay stands out for its profitability. The company turned profitable in FY25, reporting a profit of Rs 115 crore before exceptional items and tax, while revenue surged 61% year-on-year to Rs 514 crore.
For the same year, Juspay posted a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of Rs 27 crore and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs 62 crore, boosted by deferred tax adjustments.

The Road Ahead
With fresh capital, a profitable business model, and a rapidly expanding global footprint, Juspay is now positioning itself as the invisible infrastructure layer powering global digital commerce. As banks and enterprises increasingly move toward unified, cross-border payment systems, Juspay’s bet on deep infrastructure and AI-driven efficiency could place it at the center of the next phase of fintech evolution.
