Digital payments firm Razorpay invested $30 million (about Rs 259 crore) for a majority stake in consumer-facing payments startup Pop. The size of the stake wasn’t disclosed.

The Bengaluru-based startup, which focuses on UPI payments, had raised $12 million from Incubate Fund India and Unilever Ventures last October.

The investment gives Razorpay a foothold in consumer-internet business besides bolstering its play for direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands.
