The Mumbai-based company now plans to double this run rate over the next year, with its co-lending platform contributing a significant share of growth.

Sudarshan, partner and technology, media, and telecom (TMT) Industry Leader at Deloitte said that, “While this initiative may ameliorate the situation in the medium term, this is even better in the long-term as this would spur the semiconductor manufacturing segment. That would provide opportunities both for import substitution and export propulsion.” Leaders from the industry believe the move will prevent future semiconductor shortages. “In the long-term, issues like sudden surge in demand for semiconductors will also be addressed. This move will also make the Indian manufacturers globally competitive to attract investment in the areas of core competency and cutting-edge technology,” said Sanjay Gupta, managing director at NXP India.

This is rather odd as several tech entrepreneurs dream of getting their startups listed in American stock exchange Nasdaq. It’s not just a matter of pride, but also a strategic move. There are majorly two reasons for Indian tech startups to explore a Nasdaq listing — retail investors have better understanding of tech business in the US and/or majority of their revenue is coming from that market. Besides this, international listing gives Indian companies a larger and more diverse pool of capital. Whether it's the already listed Freshworks or soon-to-be-listed Icertis, <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/startups/inmobi-prepares-for-nasdaq-listing-to-seek-15-billion-valuation/articleshow/81789159.cms">InMobi </a>or <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/pine-labs-reportedly-joins-the-long-list-of-indian-tech-startups-heading/articleshow/81760763.cms">PineLabs</a> — one of these three factors are the driving force of listing abroad. So it is quite amusing why RateGain would choose to get itself listed in India and that too in 2021 — potentially the worst time for any travel tech business due to the ongoing pandemic. Bhanu Chopra, the chairperson and managing director of RateGain told Business Insider that there were three reasons why the company decided not to go for a Nasdaq listing. First, the ability to drive up brand value being a local company is much higher. Second, they wanted to be the torchbearer of the first product SaaS company to list in India. Third, there were several logistical issues that couldn’t have been solved without making some organisational changes and it was quite cumbersome. Therefore, the company decided to stick to its home market and be the first SaaS company to list in India. Rate Gain has over 1,434 customers — across the hotel, hospitality and online travel agency (OTA) segment — spread across 110 countries. In order to serve the customers in these locations, RateGain has set up its subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, United States and Spain. It has also acquired three companies to date — US-based DHISCO and BCV, and<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/ipo-bound-rategain-acquires-germany-based-myhotelshop/articleshow/86454447.cms"> Germany-based myhotelshop</a>. About 65% of RateGain’s revenue comes from the US market, while nearly 2% comes from India. The company will continue to focus on the US market even after the public listing as the majority of its customer base is settled or registered there. <div type="image" title="Despite majority of its revenue coming from the US, this is what compelled RateGain to be the first SaaS company to list in India" msid="87269616" hostid="261"></div> The company — founded in 2004 and bootstrapped till 2017— intends to raise ₹400 crore through its fresh issue. Besides, the company will also sell 2.26 crore as offer for sale (OfS). This capital will be used to make strategic investments, acquisition and fund inorganic growth initiatives. Its last reported valuation was $133 million in 2015. But why now? <div type="image" title="Despite majority of its revenue coming from the US, this is what compelled RateGain to be the first SaaS company to head for an IPO in India" msid="87286549" hostid="261"></div> It’s no secret that the travel and hospitality segment was severely hit since March 2020, when the world stepped into pandemic-induced lockdowns. As the entire segment was suffering, RateGain was bound to suffer too as they comprised its clients. The company decided to take a pause and arm itself with better products to meet the pent-up demand that may come back soon as people indulge in revenge travel and COVID-related restrictions are lifted. The company counts Lemon Tree, OYO and several other hotels and online travel aggregators (OTAs) as its clients. Besides this, the company believes that Indian investors are now ready to invest in tech businesses. Chopra believes that the investors' interest in Indian startups have increased in both private as well as public markets. This can be seen in terms of the number of unicorns -- private firms valued at or more than $1 billion -- that are being created as well as the number of companies hitting the public market. “My sense is that the Indian investor is now ready and they understand the future of any industry is digitisation. Now, RateGain is leading that effort in digitisation of the travel and hospitality industry” Chopra added. The pent-up demand of the travel industry and the positive global outlook is driving 26% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) growth. “Retail investors understand that the travel industry is recovering very fast and it is going to be the fastest growing industry in the next four-five years,” he added. Chopra believes that the ecosystem has developed enough for retail investors to understand the upcoming trends. In a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/droom-founder-explains-why-he-is-considering-a-us-ipo-and-where-he-intends-to-spend-the-money/articleshow/84917608.cms">previous interaction</a> with Business Insider, Droom’s founder and CEO Sandeep Aggarwal highlighted that Indian investors now have a stock appetite to invest in tech businesses.

Walnut, a personal finance app, is also one of its offerings which provides instant small-ticket loans. “We are now financing 2 million purchases every month across 14,000 pin codes, while maintaining NPAs below 1.5%.

Besides this, it also aims to further strengthen its foothold in India. “These markets are really a function of supply and demand. It was about, is there demand for used cars? Is it a crowded space in terms of players already in the use of space? And, we basically apply those filters to identify markets that we'd like to go up,” chief executive (CEO) of Cars24 India, Kunal Mundra, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/used-car-startup-cars-24-not-in-a-hurry-for-ipo-like-droom-and-cartrade-com/slidelist/87743891.cms#slideid=87743912">had previously told Business Insider</a>. Vikram Chopra, global CEO of Cars24, highlighted that Cars24 has some aggressive plans for next year. Founded by Vikram Chopra, Gajendra Jangid, Ruchit Agarwal and Mehul Agrawal, Cars24 allows customers to sell their old cars as well as bikes through their omnichannel network. A consumer can simply book an appointment with any of the Cars24 branches, visit the branch and sell a car in a single visit. The branches are available across 106 cities in India — including Bengaluru, Delhi, Mumbai and Meerut. It competes with other automobile ecommerce platforms like publicly listed-CarTrade and private companies like Droom and CarDekho, which are valued over a billion dollars. While Droom is going for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/startups/news/droom-founder-explains-why-he-is-considering-a-us-ipo-and-where-he-intends-to-spend-the-money/articleshow/84917608.cms">an initial public offering (IPO)</a>, Cars24 plans to wait another 18-24 months. “In my mind, an IPO is always a means to an end, it is not an end by itself. The end goal for us is to really build the most incredible auto ecommerce company in the world. I think when the time is right, when we feel that it's the right time to go down that route, we'll look at it. That's kind of it's not a stake in the ground that we put,” Mundra said.

Gautam Adani’s renewable energy firm now bigger than HDFC, Bajaj Finance, and Bharti Airtel

New Delhi, Dec 8 () The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) system may not see many new players entering the space as it has got aggregated with few players, according to a report.
 As a payment product, UPI will continue to scale with more innovative use cases coming in and will remain default payment gateway for the country, said a report by The Digital Fifth.
 While UPI has enabled innovation in the payment space, it has resulted in larger players taking complete control of the market, it said.
 With wallet business depleting and UPI getting aggregated with few players, there may not be many new players entering this space.
 The report also came out with a list of top-30 fintech influencers, which includes Niti Aayog Advisor Anna Roy, Ujjivan Small Finance Bank CEO Nitin Chugh and CreditMantri co-founder Gowri Mukherjee.
 Advisor on industry and data management and analysis at the Niti Aayog, Roy also leads the Women in Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP) initiative, supporting women entrepreneurs in India. She is leading the Government of India's initiatives on frontier technologies such as BigData, artificial intelligence and Blockchain.
 The report further said the remittance business would continue to scale as the market has remained largely untapped as of now.
 India will see emergence of few large remittance players with focus on high-traffic corridors, it said.
 The business-to-business segment has done well over past few years across POS (point-of-sale) and payment gateway segments with firms such as Pinelabs and Razorpay, building scalable and profitable business models, it said.
 "This segment has primarily depended on merchant discount rate for their revenues. In the Budget, the government has proposed that the establishments with an annual turnover of more than Rs 50 crore will offer low-cost digital modes of payment to customers and no charges or MDR shall be imposed on customers or merchants," it said.
 This change will impact payment start-ups focusing on the issuance side where they share issuance fees with banks and acquirer side, it said. DP HRS
