has kicked off discussions with a major private equity player for a fresh fundraise.

It is pertinent to note that from the end of FY22 to mid-FY23, M2P raised new funds in several tranches as part of its Series C-1 round. The startup indicated it would use this capital to enhance its technology, grow its teams, and accelerate global expansion.
In September 2022, M2P received an investment of $2.7 Mn from American multinational financial service provider Visa.
The startup’s consolidated net loss more than tripled to INR 134.3 Cr in the financial year 2022-23 (FY23) from INR 40.1 Cr in the previous fiscal year, hurt by a sharp rise in a few expense buckets.
The startup’s bottom line was hurt despite an over 126% jump in operating revenue to INR 440.7 Cr during the year under review from INR 194.7 Cr in FY22.
