Juspay Becomes India’s First Unicorn of 2026 After $50 Million Funding

Juspay has raised $50 million in a Series D follow-on funding round led by WestBridge Capital, officially making it India’s first unicorn of 2026.

With this latest investment, Juspay’s valuation has crossed the $1 billion mark, highlighting strong investor confidence in its payments infrastructure platform built for enterprises and banks. The funding will be used to enhance product capabilities, scale global operations, and further strengthen the reliability and performance of its payment systems.

Juspay is entering 2026 with strong momentum, backed by a year of sustained growth across transaction volume, customers, and global reach. The company now handles annualized payment volumes crossing $1 trillion, underlining its role as one of the largest payment infrastructure platforms built out of India.

On a daily basis, Juspay processes over 300 million transactions, supporting payment flows for some of the world’s most recognized brands such as Amazon, Google, Flipkart, Agoda, HSBC, IndiGo, Swiggy, Zepto, and Zurich Insurance, among many others.

What sets Juspay apart is its focus on core infrastructure rather than surface-level fintech products. The company is building payment systems that are designed to be open-source, modular, and interoperable, allowing merchants, banks, and networks to customize and scale payment experiences without being locked into rigid platforms.
