Paytail, one of the fastest growing technology platforms that provides EMI facility to consumers, has registered over 70 per cent revenue growth in the March quarter and annual growth of nine times.

Total disbursals increased over seven times to ₹1,200 crore in the last fiscal, against ₹142 crore in FY22. The company attributes the growth to its expanding distribution network of retail merchants and corporate partnerships. Paytail’s distribution network includes over 85,000 merchants and is expected to touch over 4 lakh in 2-3 years.

The company has started delivering operating profit and is geared to scale the business sustainably.

Vikas Garg, founder & CEO, said Paytail is not just focused on short-term growth, but intends to build a platform that will continue to deliver value to customers, merchants, corporate and lending partners.
