PhonePe, supported by Walmart, is set to launch its initial public offering (IPO) this April, targeting a substantial expansion in India's digital payments market. The company is also branching into financial services and developing new consumer platforms as it prepares for this significant step.

The digital payments leader identifies the sector as its primary growth driver, utilizing extensive investments to broaden its user base and platform scale. Industry estimates suggest India’s market for digital consumer payments could double by fiscal 2030, amplifying PhonePe's growth potential.

PhonePe's strategic plan includes deepening access via smartphones and feature phones, bolstered by new acquisitions like Gupshup's GSPay technology for UPI-based payments. Additionally, the company is exploring novel consumer engagement opportunities by expanding credit through UPI and embedding payment solutions in smart devices, thereby solidifying its market position ahead of the IPO.
