Besides announcing its financial performance, AvenuesAI’s board also approved the following acquisitions:

With that, here’s a look at some of the key developments from AvenuesAI in the fiscal year FY26:

  • Infibeam Avenues rebranded itself as AvenuesAI to reflect its shift towards an AI-led transaction infrastructure and digital payments platform.
  • The company repositioned itself from a payment gateway player to an AI-native transaction infrastructure platform spanning payments, merchant operating systems, AI orchestration and consumer ecosystems.
  • The company approved the transfer of its ecommerce platform infrastructure business to Rediff.com for ₹800.39 Cr and increased its stake in Rediff to 82.66%.
  • Subsidiary Phronetic AI launched PayCentral.ai, positioned as India's first agentic payments platform built on Google's AP2 framework.
  • The company secured multiple regulatory approvals, including RBI authorisation for offline payment aggregation, in-principle approval for PPIs, and IFSCA approval to operate as a payment service provider at GIFT-IFSC.
  • It completed a ₹700 Cr rights issue with 1.4X oversubscription to fund AI, payments infrastructure and expansion initiatives.
  • RediffPay commenced closed user group (CUG) testing after receiving NPCI TPAP approval for its financial wellness-focused UPI platform.

"We see payments evolving from being a transaction utility into a much larger merchant operating ecosystem powered by AI… This is where we believe the future opportunity lies and artificial intelligence will play a foundational role in this transformation,” AvenuesAI MD and CEO Vishwas Patel said.

Shares of AvenuesAI ended today’s trading session 1.14% lower at ₹13.93 on the BSE.
