Decentro’s Rs 30 Crore Boost Fuels Grand Return to India

Fintech infrastructure startup Decentro has secured Rs 30 crore in Series B funding, led by InfoEdge Ventures, with support from Stargazer Growth and Uncorrelated Ventures. Alongside this investment, Decentro announced it will shift its parent company’s domicile from Singapore to India within the next 12 to 18 months, joining a growing list of Indian startups returning home as regulatory clarity and IPO ambitions rise.

 

Key Highlights:

Recent product launches include Scanner, a real-time risk assessment engine, and Neobot, a multilingual AI voice agent for automated debt collections—both aimed at tackling challenges like India’s large NPA pool.

The move to India is part of a broader trend, following similar “reverse flips” by fintechs like Razorpay and Groww, as new rules make it easier for startups to merge foreign entities with Indian subsidiaries.

 

Despite a recent financial year loss due to heavy investment in expansion, Decentro’s revenues grew by 47% to Rs 17.7 crore, signaling strong market traction.

Co-founders say the shift reflects their commitment to India as a base for building global financial infrastructure.
