BharatPe

BharatPe is a New Delhi-based fintech company founded in 2018 by Ashneer Grover and Shashvat Nakrani that provides digital payments and financial services to Indian small and medium businesses. Its merchant stack centers on a single interoperable UPI QR for payment acceptance across all UPI apps, augmented by BharatPe Speaker for voice transaction confirmations, BharatSwipe POS card machines for offline acceptance, BharatPe One (all-in-one POS), bill payments, and a co-branded credit card. On the financing side, BharatPe originates business loans for merchants through partner NBFCs, runs the InvestBharatPe / 12% Club investment platform, operates the PostPe buy-now-pay-later product, and is a co-promoter of Unity Small Finance Bank. The company reports more than ten million merchant partners across 450+ Indian cities and turned profitable in FY24 with roughly INR 1,700 crore in revenue. BharatPe is owned by Resilient Innovations Private Limited; it does not publish a public developer API, SDK, sandbox, or OpenAPI surface — its merchant and consumer products are delivered through native Android/iOS apps and an enterprise sales channel for partners.

BharatPe is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Payments, UPI, QR Payments, Merchant Payments, and Point-of-Sale.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Payments regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/.
