PhonePe is an Indian digital payments and financial services company[7] headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.[8] PhonePe was founded in December 2015,[3] by Sameer Nigam, Rahul Chari and Burzin Engineer.[9] The PhonePe app, based on the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), went live in August 2016.[10]

History

PhonePe was incorporated in December 2015.[11] In April 2016, the company was acquired by Flipkart[12] and as part of the acquisition, the FxMart license was transferred to PhonePe and rebranded as the PhonePe wallet. PhonePe's founder Sameer Nigam was appointed as the CEO of the company.[13]

Legal challenges

On 14 January 2017, ICICI bank blocked PhonePe transactions, citing the reasons that it did not meet the NPCI guidelines.[14] Initially, on 19 January 2017, NPCI instructed ICICI to allow UPI transactions via PhonePe.[15] During this period, Airtel too blocked PhonePe transactions on its platforms.[16] A day later, on 20 January 2017, NPCI renounced the previous instructions citing the reason that PhonePe indeed violated the UPI norms.[17]

After this, PhonePe closed its operations on Flipkart's website,[18] to align itself with the terms stated in the updated verdict from NPCI. By February, 2017, PhonePe resolved the issues with ICICI and Airtel.[19]
