PayU leads Rs 78 crore funding round in Fisdom

BENGALURU: Digital payments company PayU has acquired a minority stake in wealth tech startup Fisdom, by leading a $11-million (Rs 78 crore) funding round, along with existing investors Saama Capital and Quona Capital. While PayU has pumped in $5 million, the existing investors have invested $3.5 million and the rest has come from other venture capital funds.
