PayU, a leading digital payments company, has increased its stake in Mindgate Solutions, a Mumbai-based payments technology firm, to 70%.
This move strengthens PayU’s position in India’s rapidly growing real-time payments market, particularly with the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) experiencing widespread adoption across the country.
Mindgate is known for building digital payment solutions for banks, governments, and enterprises. Its platform enables real-time transactions, digital collections, and disbursements, which are critical in a market like India where UPI transactions crossed billions every month.
PayU first invested in Mindgate in 2019, acquiring a significant minority stake. By raising its holding to 70%, PayU now becomes the majority stakeholder, giving it greater control over strategy, innovation, and expansion.
Industry experts believe that this investment will enable PayU to tap into enterprise-level payment solutions and foster stronger relationships with banks and large institutions, extending beyond consumer-focused transactions.
With this move, PayU is positioning itself not only as a payment gateway but also as a comprehensive payments technology provider, capable of serving both businesses and consumers in India and globally.
