Founded in 2018 (Bhavik Koladiya and Shashvat Nakrani started it, with Ashneer Grover joining as co-founder that year), BharatPe pioneered a single interoperable UPI QR for merchants and expanded into merchant lending, POS and co-branded banking via Unity Small Finance Bank. It became a unicorn in August 2021 at a $2.85B valuation on a $370M Series E round. Co-founder Ashneer Grover exited in 2022 amid a governance dispute; the company remains private and has stated IPO ambitions.
Momentum is derived from funding recency, velocity, round count and scale. Risk reflects registry status and funding staleness.

How to read this. Each figure compares the first and the last Web Traffic Rank reading we hold for this company. Web Traffic Rank is a POSITION, so a smaller number is better: a company shown as improving has moved DOWN the rank, from a larger number to a smaller one. We are working from 1 dated reading (both in 2026-07). Two readings are a before and an after. This is a change, not a trend.
