Kotak Mahindra Capital, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup Global Markets India, ICICI Securities, HDFC Bank Ltd, IIFL Securities and Jefferies India are the book running lead managers to the issue.

PB Fintech plans to allocate INR 15 billion from the issue to improve visibility and awareness of its brands. An additional INR 3.75 billion and INR 6 billion from the issue proceeds will be used to facilitate expansion plans as well as for funding strategic acquisitions.
