Details:
- The fintech firm is looking to file its draft prospectus for the potential initial public offering in Mumbai by May, which could value MobiKwik at over US$1 billion, the sources said.
- MobiKwik is also looking to conduct a pre-IPO round that could net it a valuation of roughly US$700 million, the people added. However, the company still hasn’t finalized the funding round’s size and timing.

- The startup, which counts companies such as Sequoia Capital and Bajaj Finance as backers, has over 3 million merchants and serves more than 107 million users.
