Mastercard`s Swipe makes this Indian Startup Nation`s First Unicorn Company in 2020

Start upsunicornio

In January 2020, India received its latest entrant into the unicorn club- Pine Labs, a startup valued at over $1 billion. After 22 years, since its inception, Pine Labs was the first to join the unicorn companies in India in 2020.

Pine Labs raised an undisclosed amount from New York-based financial services major Mastercard at a valuation of approximately $1.5 billion. Although the details related to the transaction were not disclosed, the funding round is estimated to be at $100- $150 million.

Founded in 1998 by Rajul Garg, Lokvir Kapoor, and Tarun Upadhyay, Pine Labs was initially launched as card-based payments and loyalty solutions provider. However, it was in 2009 that Pine Labs` real journey was started.

The founders of this Noida-based startup realized that the merchants were looking to find solutions to enhance their customer engagement during the payment process. Thus, they ventured into the traditional payments space intending to provide solutions to merchants by providing a point of sale (PoS) machines.

Pine Labs is not a brand that resides in your pocket. However, the chances are that you might have come across a point-of-sale (PoS) machine from Pine Labs while making a payment. It acts as a gateway to data that every merchant or business owner likes to store about their customers to understand them better.

Even during the COVID 19 pandemic, Pine Labs has recorded almost a 67 percent jump in monthly merchant onboarding due to digital transformation. From 12,000 every month to 20,000 merchant- onboarding in the last few months, Pine Labs has witnessed rapid growth.

Given that Pine Labs is over two-decade-old, many might say Pine Labs is not a start-up. However, the founder of the company thinks a little differently. According to Executive Chairman & Former CEO Lokvir Kapoor, Pine Labs still has the DNA of a startup because of the innovative measures and the agility it has always demonstrated.

Lokvir took over as CEO after Tarun Upadhaya and Rajul Garg left Pina Labs. He then spent the next 10 years taking the organization into the fintech world.

He stated, “there was a time when banks offered a counter sales terminal to merchants and the transactions carried out over a phone line. There was a gap in terms of what the merchants and the market needed from a payments technology solution, and what the banks were able to offer”.

To cater to their customers` needs, Pine Labs zeroed in on this gap by becoming a technology partner for several banks. It began providing merchants with PoS devices. Banks, in return, started referring Pine Labs to merchants.

Pine Labs has a versatile list of clients, which also includes the Future Group and Shoppers` Stop as its earliest clients.

reference https://inc42.com/resources/registering-your-company-a-step-by-step-guide/

If you are planning to start a business and register it as a private limited company, here are the key steps that will ensure a successful company registration in India.

But first things firsts! What exactly is a private limited company?

A private limited company is a privately-held business entity. Though it is held by the private stakeholders, the partnership extends only up to the number of shares held by them. The governing body for such a company is the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).

Here is a list of mandatory things for the company registration process:

Members & Directors: For a company to get registered, it must show a minimum number of two and a maximum number of 200 members. This requirement is mandatory according to the Companies Act 2013.

Name of the company: This is often considered the most technical task, which is also the most difficult. A private limited company is required to cover the three aspects while deciding a name such as Main name, Activity to be carried out, and mention of PVT. Ltd in the end.

Registered office address: The permanent address of the registered office must be filed in the registrar of the company, once the company has been registered.

Important Documents: For electronic submission of documents, the registered company must obtain a digital signature certificate. A digital signature certificate helps to verify the authenticity of the documents.

Steps to form a Private Limited Company:

Step 1. Obtain DSC (Digital Signature): As we mentioned earlier, DSC is required to file the forms for company formation. It is mandatory for all the subscribers and witnesses in the memorandum and the articles of association. As the company registration process is online, the forms require a digital signature.

Step 2. Apply for DIN (Director Identification Number): DIN is an identification number for a director. The business owner who wants to be a director of the company must obtain DIN. One DIN is sufficient to be a director in any number of companies.

Step 3. Name Approval: Decide a name and apply for the registration. There are two methods- RUN (Reserve Unique Name) and SPICe (INC-32). In the first method, the applicant gets only a single chance. Once rejected, the applicant will not get a second chance to apply. The applicant will have to re-file another RUN with the prescribed fee.

In the case of SPICe, the applicant will get a second chance of approval, in case of rejection due to the non-approval of the name.

Step 4. E-MoA (INC-33) and e-AoA (INC-34): e-MoA refers to an electronic Memorandum of Association and eAoA is electronic Articles of Association. These forms were introduced to simplify the company registration process in India.

Memorandum represents the charter of the company, while articles of the association represent the internal guidelines, rules & regulations of the company.

Step 5. PAN & TAN Application: Through form SPICe, an applicant can also apply for the company`s TAN and PAN. Form 49A is used for PAN, and form 49B is used for TAN. Once you have submitted the form SPICe, the system will automatically generate these forms.

You can download the forms from the website, affix them with digital signatures, and upload both the forms on the portal of the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA). After MCA will approve the registration, a Corporate Identity Number (CIN) will be allocated. You can track CIN online on the MCA portal.

We hope the above-mentioned steps will guide you through the company registration process. However, getting your company registered is just the first step.

To ensure that your business grows and prospers in the future, you will need to take care of various other aspects related to business. For that, you will need proper guidance and smart strategies. Take our Everything about Entrepreneurship course to learn the business dynamics.

How this Indian Unicorn Startup Empowering the Financial Ecosystem for Businesses

Fastest growing unicorns

Gone are those days when transferring money was a long and tedious process. The procedure was long and it required a person to visit the branch office of his bank, followed by filling forms and then standing in never-ending queues.

However, today, it is just a matter of a simple swipe of our fingers thanks to the platforms that have made the online money transfer effortless.

The rise of technology has paved way for a world that offers a lot of opportunities and an open space for various sectors to prosper. One such sector is that of fintech or the online payment industry and today, we are going to talk about Razorpay that has joined the list of billion-dollar companies and became one of the unicorn companies in India in 2020.

An IIT- Roorkee graduate, Harshil launched Razorpay in 2014, along with his fellow Roorkee alumni Shashank Kumar. Razorpay lets its users access multiple payment options like Debit cards, Credit cards, net banking, and even wallets such as Ola Money and Airtel Money.

When Razorpay was launched, its founders had just one aim in their minds- they wanted to make the digital payment processes simpler for small businesses.

Now seven years down the line, Razorpay still has that customer-first approach that made the brand a prime choice for enterprises at all stages. However, it has achieved the status of one of the Unicorn companies in 2020.

In October 2020, the Bengaluru-based brand became one of the unicorn companies. The company managed to raise $100 million in funding which was led by Sequoia and GIC. The existing investors such as Ribbit Capital, Tiger Global, Matrix Partners, and Y Combinator also took part in the funding.

“Most payment platforms take their APIs from banks. Then, they integrate with banks and build a further layer. Hence, they all look similar. But with Razorpay, we got to build the product first, keeping bank integration as the black box. We discussed what the merchants want and what our customers demand. We answered these and built our product,” said Harshil Mehta, CEO, and Co-founder of Razorpay.

Though it took Razorpay seven years to achieve the unicorn status, the company has claimed to turn cash flow positive with 2.6X growth in its revenues. Razorpay`s revenue grew from Rs 193 crore in FY19 to Rs 509 crore during FY20.

This Unicorn startup has launched a neo-banking platform RazoPayX last year to help small businesses in managing their finances. The brand has claimed to serve around 10,000 businesses within the twelve months of its launch.

Razorpay serves many international brands, including the likes of Google, Wikipedia, and Facebook, along with many national enterprises like Zerodha, Jio, and Hotstar. It also serves Indian startups like Khatabook, OkCredit, and Meesho along with SMEs and freelancers in multitudes.

As we said, it took Razorpay seven years to reach where it is now. It takes strong determination, effective brand strategies, a unique business model, and a lot more to take your business to new heights.
