As per a report by ET, the fresh infusion also includes secondary transactions to provide liquidity to employees and early investors. The investment will enable Mintifi to expand its capital base for credit purposes to more than $600 million.
The Mumbai-based startup will utilize the funds to accelerate its supply chain financing and product line expansion. The proceeds will also be used in scaling up its offerings and upliftment of its technology platform.
