Pop, a consumer payment platform, raises $30 million from Razorpay to address challenges in digital commerce.
Pop operates a rewards-first UPI payments app combining payments, commerce, and credit into one experience.
The funding will be used for product innovation, enhancing consumer value proposition with Popcoins-led rewards, and building merchant partnerships.
Pop has scaled to over six lakh daily UPI transactions, one million unique monthly active transactors, and more since launching its UPI platform.
Razorpay's investment in Pop expands its offerings into loyalty, engagement, and commerce enablement.
Pop's multi-brand rewards currency in the form of Pop Coins aims to incentivize repeat purchases and drive real-time engagement.
Harshil Mathur, CEO of Razorpay, highlights that Pop helps brands earn trust, drive repeat purchases, and build real loyalty.
The investment in Pop complements Razorpay's acquisition of PoshVine, focusing on loyalty and rewards management.
Consumers are increasingly considering rewards and loyalty while making purchase decisions, with India's D2C market expected to surpass $100 billion by 2026.
