The remaining ₹15 crore is expected to follow in the second tranche, further strengthening PaySprint's vision of building the digital infrastructure powering Bharat's financial future.
'This is not just a fundraise—it's a milestone moment,' said S Anand, Founder & CEO of PaySprint. 'We've gone from one product to powering end-to-end journeys for NBFCS, fintechs, platforms, and enterprises. With SprintNXT and our newly launched escrow stack, we're solving problems that used to take months and multiple vendors to fix—now done in days, under one roof.'
A Journey From One Product to an Integrated Growth Platform
PaySprint began in Dec'2020 with a singular mission: to simplify the back-end of business banking. Over time, that vision evolved into a full-scale financial ecosystem with platforms that now serve thousands of businesses across India.
At the centre of this growth is SprintNXT, PaySprint's flagship Business Banking Switch, which powers:
● Connected banking platform
● Smart payouts and real-time collections
● Automated reconciliation
● Actionable financial insights
SprintNXT has emerged as the go-to for enterprises seeking scalability, compliance, and smarter cash flow management.
And alongside it, SprintVerify—PaySprint's comprehensive verification engine—has become the trusted backbone for onboarding, KYC/KYB, and identity checks across PAN, Aadhaar, RC, bank accounts, and more. Providing 120+ APIS, it plays a vital role in enabling businesses to verify with speed and confidence.
Escrow, Reimagined: The Trust Layer for Bharat's Digital Economy
Building on its robust foundation, PaySprint is now aiming high for the next frontier: Escrow Infrastructure. The company celebrated its fastest launch:
• SprintEXcrow - A secure, compliant Escrow-as-a-Service platform for digital platforms, marketplaces, and lending ecosystems.
• SprintEX-code - A physical and cloud-based software escrow platform, offering source code protection for regulated entities, ensuring compliance and business continuity.
These offerings fill a long-standing trust gap in India's digital economy—bringing speed, security, and regulatory comfort into transactions from day one.
'This is how we see the future: interconnected platforms solving real problems, not fragmented tools stitched together,' added Anand. 'With SprintNXT, SprintVerify, and now our Escrow Stack, PaySprint is not just offering services—we're offering scale.'
FY 25-26: A Roaring Start and a Smarter Future
With this fundraise and momentum, PaySprint is setting the tone for FY 25-26. The fresh capital will be used to:
• Deepen adoption of SprintNXT and Escrow Infrastructure
• Expand AI capabilities for onboarding, fraud detection, and workflow automation
• Build stronger banking and enterprise partnerships
• Grow the product and engineering teams

Huawei's new laptop uses older China-made chip, US curbs stall SMIC, report shows

BEIJING, June 23 (Reuters) - Huawei Technologies' new MateBook Fold laptop is powered by an older-generation chip made by SMIC ( opens new tab, highlighting how U.S. export curbs are hindering China's top foundry from advancing to next-generation semiconductor manufacturing, Canadian research firm TechInsights said on Monday. There was widespread speculation in the industry that Huawei ( would use SMIC's newer 5nm-equivalent N+3 process node chip in the MateBook Fold that, according to TechInsights, marks Huawei's "most aggressive entrance into full-stack computing; chip design, OS development, and hardware integration". However, the laptop instead features the Kirin X90 chip, built on the same 7nm N+2 process node that was first introduced in August 2023, TechInsights said in a report. "This likely means that SMIC has not yet achieved a 5nm equivalent node that can be produced at scale," it said. "U.S.-imposed technology controls are likely continuing to impact SMIC's ability to catch-up to current foundry leaders in more advanced nodes across chips for mobile, PCs, and cloud/AI applications," TechInsights added. The MateBook Fold, which does not have a physical keyboard and features an 18-inch OLED double screen, was one of two new laptops Huawei launched last month. The devices are part of Huawei's broader push to build a self-reliant ecosystem amid U.S. efforts to limit its access to advanced chips. The laptops are the first to be sold with Huawei's Harmony operating system. It has not officially disclosed the processor used, though past models have used Intel (INTC.O), opens new tab chips. Huawei did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reuters reported last year that the U.S. revoked licences that had allowed companies including Intel and Qualcomm (QCOM.O), opens new tab to ship chips used for laptops and handsets to Huawei. The U.S. curbs limited SMIC's access to advanced chipmaking tools, including extreme ultraviolet lithography. China-based foundries have to now rely on less efficient multi-patterning techniques that reduce yield, the report said. The report noted that Huawei's 7nm chip is several generations behind those used by Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab, Qualcomm, and AMD (AMD.O), opens new tab. It added that China remains at least three generations behind the global semiconductor frontier, as foundries like TSMC and Intel prepare to roll out 2nm process technology within the next 12 to 24 months. Earlier this month, Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei told Chinese state media that Huawei's chips were just one generation behind that of U.S. peers but the firm was finding ways to improve performance through methods such as cluster computing.

India's watchdog to start Air India annual audit, days after deadly crash

NEW DELHI, June 23 (Reuters) - Ten officials from India's aviation safety watchdog will visit Air India headquarters on Tuesday for an annual audit, a government memo showed, just as the airline is facing intense scrutiny after a plane crash killed 271 people. The audit is unrelated to the accident, but Air India has been getting warning notices for compliance lapses in recent days, and has also reduced its routes citing "operational stability" needs after the June 12 deadly crash of its Boeing (BA.N), opens new tab 787-8 Dreamliner in India's Ahmedabad. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) officials will inspect documents related to Air India operations, previous audit findings and action-taken reports during the visit, according to a government memo seen by Reuters. The 10-member DGCA team will include many flight operation inspectors and will be led by Adhiraj Yadav, a deputy chief flight operations inspector. Two officials to check on cabin safety norms are also in the team. The "annual surveillance and regulatory audit" will last from June 24-26, and mandatorily requires top Air India executives to be present, the memo stated. Air India and the DGCA did not respond to Reuters queries. The watchdog on Saturday issued a warning to Air India for "repeated and serious violations" related to pilot duty scheduling, and directed the airline to remove three company executives from crew scheduling roles. Air India said it has complied with the order. Air India was taken over by the Tata Group in 2022 and faces many challenges in its attempts to rebuild its image, after years of criticism from travelers for poor service. Last week, Reuters also reported the authorities had also warned Air India for breaching safety rules after three of its Airbus planes flew despite being overdue for checks on emergency equipment of escape slides. The cause of the June 12 incident is still under investigation.
