PhonePe redomiciled from Singapore to India in December 2022. The company said it has established a clear corporate structure with each of its new non-payment businesses as fully owned subsidiaries.

"PhonePe's strong top-line and bottom-line growth across its diverse business portfolio, as detailed in its FY23-24 annual report, makes this a suitable time to prepare for a public listing" the company said.

The company was valued at around $12 billion in its last private fundraising.
