Tiger Global may also be heading a $250 million financing round in BharatPe, and a UPI supplier turned fintech company with a $2.5 billion value. BharatPe has only raised a little more than $200 million in February.

Most Indians’ behaviors have changed due to the epidemic, and Tiger Global wants to be a part of businesses that take advantage of these changes. Some of it is tactical as well.
