Rajan Bajaj launches SlicePay, a buy now pay later (BNPL) product for the GenZ and millennial population. Slice is a leading fintech company focused on India's youth. We aim to build a smart, innovative, and transparent platform to redesign the financial experience for millennials and GenZ.

Consumer lending and payments startup Slice has raised Rs 71.7 crore (approximately $8.6 million) from its founder and CEO, Rajan Bajaj, via partly paid-up shares. This follows the company’s recent Rs 300 crore debt funding round, raised through convertible debentures co-led by Taneja Family Trust, Anju Family Personal Trust, UK2 Family Trust, and MN Family Trust.

According to a special resolution passed by Slice’s board, 22,000 equity shares will be issued at an issue price of Rs 32,606 each, as per the company’s regulatory filing with the Registrar of Companies. Bajaj’s investment will be completed in one or more tranches and is designated for general business purposes. Slice offers a physical and virtual card aimed at millennials, allowing students and salaried professionals to purchase products and services online with collateral-free EMIs through its app, while also helping users build credit scores. The Bengaluru-based company has raised nearly $400 million in funding, including a $220 million Series B round led by Tiger Global and Insight Partners. According to the platform, Tiger Global is the largest stakeholder, followed closely by Insight Partners.
