NPST attributes its substantial topline growth to the growing demand for efficient digital payment operating models, such as Payments Platform as a Service (PPaaS) among Payment Aggregators, Payment Gateways, and Merchants. The operationalization of key customer accounts, infrastructure upgrades to manage increased transaction volumes, and improved delivery execution within the Technology Service Provider (TSP) business that caters to banks were also instrumental in this growth.

The positive momentum, particularly within our Payment Platform-as-a-Service (PPaaS) segment, is very encouraging. The new customer acquisitions and ramp-up in deals we've discussed in previous quarters are now positively impacting our revenues. We see substantial growth opportunities across our PPaaS and Technology Service Provider business segments. Moving forward, we remain committed to enhancing our unique business model, strengthening strategic customer engagement, and preparing for future readiness."
NPST plans to raise fresh capital through a Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP). The funds will support investments in new-age technology, market diversification, and scaling organizational capabilities, aligned with the company's vision to be among the top players in the Indian digital payments industry.
To scale growth NPST is creating a balanced mix of commercial and tech leadership, aimed at enhancing both strategic agility and operational excellence. During the quarter, NPST significantly strengthened its talent pool by adding senior-level sales professionals and other resources.
