About Phonepe:

PhonePe, a wholly owned subsidiary of Flipkart, is a new-gen payments company that intends to make digital payments simple in India. We believe digital payments in offline mass retail is largely unsolved.Most of the transactions are still done in cash. One of the main reasons for this is lack of distribution of simple merchant solutions that enable them to receive digital payments from their customers seamlessly. For us at PhonePe this is a key focus area. We provide product and solutions for merchants of all sizes and all categories.Please visit phonpe.com to know more about us.
