The positive momentum, particularly within our Payment Platform-as-a-Service (PPaaS) segment, is very encouraging. The new customer acquisitions and ramp-up in deals we’ve discussed in previous quarters are now positively impacting our revenues. We see substantial growth opportunities across our PPaaS and Technology Service Provider business segments. Moving forward, we remain committed to enhancing our unique business model, strengthening strategic customer engagement, and preparing for future readiness.”
NPST plans to raise fresh capital through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The funds will support investments in new-age technology, market diversification, and scaling organizational capabilities, aligned with the company’s vision to be among the top players in the Indian digital payments industry.
