Bhubaneswar: Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Thursday tweeted that a fintech startup, iServeU Technology has been acquired by Bengaluru-based Niyogin Fintech for a sum of ₹592 million in cash and stock deal. Niyogin will own 51 percent of iServeU Technoloy.

This company was backed by Startup Odisha and was the first recognised platform to achieve ₹100 crore in valuation and has raised over $8 million in funding.

The pandemic has reportedly increased digital payments in rural India as well.
