MobiKwik said it worked towards providing a digital banking platform to both individuals and businesses during the second quarter of the year and also launched MobiKwik Lens, a data driven tool that helps with data and financial health.

“Our purpose is to make digital banking services accessible to people across demographics pan-India, and we are seeing positive uptake on our platform. The results are evident with another quarter of sustained revenue growth in line with our vision for the year,” said Upasana Taku, cofounder and COO, MobiKwik.

In the country’s fintech space, the startup rivals the likes of Paytm, Freecharge, and Simpl, along with giants like PhonePe and Google Pay.

Last month, Mukul Saxena, the CEO of MobiKwik’s financial services business, quit to join as CBO of Tata Digital.

MobiKwik was among the Indian startups that filed their Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with the market regulator for an IPO in 2021 but later backtracked due to the market volatility. As per its DRHP, the startup was aiming to raise INR 1,900 Cr via its IPO.
