Bessemer and Patni lead the round also subscribed by early angels and founders

BENGALURU, India, April 1, 2024 -- Innoviti Technologies Pvt. Ltd., India's largest payments-centric retail SaaS platform for enterprise brands and their SME channel partners, announced today that it has done a Rs. 40 Cr. first close of its ongoing Series E round. The round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners and Patni Family Office, with the rights issue subscribed by early angels and founders.

The company is already a leader in providing software tools through payment channels to marquee enterprise brands such as Reliance, Tanishq and Shoppers Stop. Innoviti's tools not only help these brands to accept payments in a more reliable and secure way, but also to accelerate growth by unlocking competitive advantages that lay hidden for traditional payment systems.

The company's enterprise business has been generating operating profits for the past 10 quarters, with profitability steadily improving. The mid-market and online business are growing rapidly and are targeted to become profitable by September 24.

Innoviti had last raised funds in 2022, where Bessemer, FMO, Patni and other investors had participated. This round of funding will be used to drive the company's mid-market expansion that had started in 2021 and fuel the online business that has grown 4X in the last 12 months. The company is planning on raising additional capital in the current ongoing round by the end of April. This is expected to be the last round before the company starts generating sufficient cash for its future growth, expected to happen in the next 12 months. The company will initiate its IPO planning subsequently.

The company received the final authorization from RBI to operate as an online payment aggregator earlier this year.

Vishal Gupta, Partner & India Head, Bessemer Venture Partners, said, "Innoviti has demonstrated a unique ability of delivering value-added SaaS through payment channels. We have seen their ability to retain and grow their relationships in the tough Indian enterprise retail market and are excited to support the next phase of their growth journey in the mid-market and online spaces."

Arihant Patni, Patni Family Office, said, "We have seen the strategic positioning Innoviti enjoys in the Indian enterprise retail space, and are excited to support their growth journey as they make inroads into mid-market retail and online spaces."
