Khatabook had shut down its e-commerce enablement product MyStore in November 2021.
The platform has raised $187 million to date, including its Series C round of $100 million led by Tribe Capital and Moore Strategic.
It also has PeakXV and Better Capital as its investors, according to the report.
Ravish Naresh, co-founder and CEO of Khatabook, had said last year that the company was aiming to clock a loan book size of Rs 1,000 crore by October 2023.
According to Naresh, the company was likely to turn profitable in mid-2024.
According to the company’s website, it is “building utility solutions for the nation’s 6.3 crore-strong MSME sector”.
“Our first offering — an Android App enabling businesses to digitally record the credit they extend to customers — went viral and so far Khatabook has been downloaded over 5 crore+ times,” it reads.
Sriram Krishnan, general partner at the top VC firm Andreessen Horowitz (a16z) where he invests in early-stage consumer startups, is also one of the angel investors in Khatabook.
