Payments‑fintech firm Pine Labs confirmed that it will move forward with its India listing early next year after securing a strategic investment from Blackstone, which values the company at around ₹77,000 crore ($9.3 billion). The firm is restructuring its international operations and preparing its IPO documentation. Analysts noted that the timing of the listing could coincide with improved digital‑payments regulation, making Pine Labs one of the largest fintech IPOs in India’s history if market conditions align favourably.
