The Gurugram-based firm will use the proceeds for organic growth in its financial services business, expanding its payment services, research and development in artificial intelligence; machine learning, technology, and capital expenditure on payment devices.

Mobikwik, its flagship application, gives consumers access to various payment options and financial products in digital credit, investments, and insurance.

Also, this the second attempt by One Mobikwik Systems for a public issue following the earlier one in July 2021. However, in November of the year, it shelved its plans and withdrew its draft papers due to “unfavourable market conditions.”
