Expecting October to be a big period for business, he said that the company is looking at processing BNPL transactions worth Rs 5,000 crore. This is 80 per cent to 85 per cent higher than last year.

“The volume we did in April was Rs 3,000 crore. In my 10 years of BNPL, we never have seen such volumes, even during Diwali. That was an early sign of getting back to normal," Mehra stated.
