What PayU India does

The company operates a B2B financial infrastructure model. It provides API- and SaaS-based payment acceptance, checkout and settlement products that merchants embed into their websites, mobile apps and operational workflows. Value is created by increasing payment acceptance, reducing friction, supporting more payment methods, simplifying reconciliation and enabling additional merchant use cases such as subscriptions, cross-border payments, QR collection and split settlements. Revenue scales with merchant transaction volume and adoption of higher-value payment services.

Category differentiation

This entity is the Indian payments operating company within the broader PayU and Prosus group. It is not a consumer wallet brand or a standalone public company.
