Also, the e-transaction major attained close to 335 million transactions in the month of July 2019.
“We are thrilled by the rapid adoption of PhonePe services across India. Last month alone, the PhonePe app was used by 60 million users. This is both very exciting and very humbling for our company which launched less than three years ago,” Sameer Nigam, CEO and founder of PhonePe, said.
PhonePe which was acquired by Flipkart in 2016, was founded by ex-Flipkart executives Sameer Nigam, Rahul Chari and Burzin Engineer. Since then Flipkart has invested about $500 million in PhonePe.

The company claims that its TVP run rate has grown close to five times in the past year, since crossing the $20 billion mark in June 2018.
While, at present, PhonePe claims to have over 150 million users and is accepted across 50 lakh merchant outlets nationally.
