We continue to see an increase in GMV of non-UPI instruments like EMI and cards. We are focused on payment volumes that generate profitability for us, either through net payments margin or from direct upsell potential.

We continue to work with our partners to ensure superior credit quality for loans distributed through us. To ensure that portfolio performance of our lending partners improves despite economic uncertainties our credit disbursement growth will be deliberately calibrated over the next quarter or two.

High-quality outcomes for our partners enable us to expand our lending partnerships. We currently have 8 lending partners and we aim to onboard 3-4 partners in FY 2024.
