BharatPe Launches BharatPeX: AI-Guided, In-App UPI-First Online PAPG
India, 8th October 2025: BharatPe, India’s leading fintech company, today unveiled BharatPeX, its new PAPG-online brand that brings an ‘X-factor’ to how enterprises run payments. It combines a modern online payment gateway (Cards, Net Banking, UPI) with an implementation-first model that helps clients ship in-app UPI experiences faster, keep customer data within their own apps, and materially lift success rates.
With technology and artificial intelligence at its core, the service comes bundled with BharatPeX.AI, which empowers enterprises with expertise on tap. The AI assistant provides clients with 24/7, consistent guidance on features, eligibility, and go-live steps across BharatPeX, NPCI, and partner banks. It also provides journey prototypes (e.g., UPI Autopay, UPI Circle, UPI International) and can generate sample code that teams can reuse.
Sandeep Indurkar, CEO Payments, BharatPe, said, “Most enterprises want world-class payment systems but are wary of compliance, bank coordination, and long development cycles. With BharatPeX, we remove that friction. We don’t stop at an API—we deploy a specialist team and an AI-driven virtual assistant so our clients can enable UPI Plug-in or even scale to becoming TPAP-enabled—owning the user journey, the data, and the outcomes, which in turn lets them offer a seamless collections service and payment experience to their customers.” The company has already begun onboarding e-commerce, fintech, and enterprise clients in phases.
Designed to power growth at scale, BharatPeX combines collections, payouts, and enterprise-grade support into a single, secure platform, simplifying payments while multiplying impact. It promises outcome-oriented enablement, higher success rates, reduced go-to-market time, and data ownership for the merchant.
What makes BharatPeX different:
1) Payments expertise, not just a gateway: A dedicated (Product/Tech/Relationship) squad partners with each client to design, integrate, and scale collections and payouts. The team navigates NPCI processes and partner banks, simplifying onboarding and cutting implementation effort to roughly one-third of typical cycles.
2) In-app UPI at the core: While UPI already drives a large share of ecommerce transactions, most merchants still have to divert users to third party apps, losing visibility and control. BharatPeX helps clients run in-app UPI flows (via UPI Plug-in or TPAP), boosting success rates and ensuring customer data stays with the client.
3) Built for eCommerce, fintech, and enterprises: From checkout orchestration to complex payout needs, BharatPeX is designed for scale and governed by a compliance-first approach aligned to applicable RBI/NPCI guidelines.
With BharatPeX, BharatPe positions itself as the go-to partner for enterprises navigating the fast-evolving digital economy, reinforcing India’s place at the global forefront of payments innovation.
BharatPe is the only fintech company in India with an NBFC license (Trillion Loans), a stake in a Small Finance Bank (Unity SFB), and an Online Payment Aggregator license.
Why should merchants adopt BharatPeX?
- Command the user experience: Keep users in-app; reduce drop-offs and dependency on third-party apps
- Own the data: Maintain visibility on key customer markers to drive retention and LTV
- Ship faster: Cut integration effort to ~1/3rd with guided implementation and sample code
- Scale confidently: A single partner to handle tech, bank coordination, and compliance nuances
- Go beyond payments: Identify revenue opportunities tied to better payment experiences and customer delight

Race to the Finale: Nayandeep and Aarush Clash as Alliances Shift in the Tower
MUMBAI, India, October 8, 2025: The game in the Rise and Fall Tower is at a critical stage where alliances are shifting by the minute, and every contestant is strategizing to save themselves. The latest episode saw high drama, with nominations putting the spotlight on the workers and rulers alike. The workers nominated Akriti, Aaditya, and Nayandeep, while Kiku was chosen by the rulers, setting the stage for tense confrontations.
As the day unfolded, tensions flared between Nayandeep and Aarush. What started as Aarush’s usual teasing quickly triggered Nayandeep, who snapped: “Haa, tere taraf hai, kyunki bekar mai you are triggering me for no reason.” Aarush, ever the provocateur, fired back: “Kya hogya, nominate hi to hua hai. Hum tereko yahi samjha rahe the, hum yaha 30 din se hai, ek game se nahi hota.” The heated back-and-forth highlighted not just their contrasting approaches to the game, but also the intense pressure and high stakes in the Tower.
Nayandeep voiced his frustration further:“Aree, nominate hua hu theek hai, baar baar aake mere kaano ke aage bolne ki zarurat nahi hai ki tu eliminate ho jayega.” Aarush, standing his ground, reminded him: “Dusre task mai to tu behosh hogya, tu task karne layak hai nahi… Dekh raha hai kaun 10 logo se rishte bana ke good books me aane ka try kar raha hai.” Nayandeep countered, “Mai aisa hi hoon, mai bahar bhi aisa hi hu,” to which Aarush humorously added, “Pata hai mereko, tabhi teko mithi churi kehte hai.”
Amid the intense strategizing, the Tower also prepared for a monumental change: the crowning of a new Ultimate Ruler, who would not only hold ultimate power but also secure a ticket to the finale. With Arjun’s tenure as Ultimate Ruler coming to an end, every decision carried weight, alliances were tested, and every move could make or break the contestants’ paths to victory.
As the episode concluded, the tension, strategy, and emotional stakes left everyone on edge, highlighting that in Rise and Fall, it’s not just about who rises or falls, but who plays the game smartest under pressure.
In the game of Rise and Fall this week, the house is split between Workers and Rulers, with Aarush Bhola, Aaditya Narayan, Kiku Sharda, Akriti Negi and Nayandeep Rakshiit hustling as Workers, while Manisha Rani, Arjun Bijlani, Bali, Dhanashree Verma and Arbaz Patel, hold the throne as Rulers.

HP Govt, Crack Academy Launch Phase II of 100 Ratan Scholarship Test
HP Government & Crack Academy to Conduct Phase II of Statewide Scholarship Test under “Mere Sheher Ke 100 Ratan” Program on October 9
India, 8th october 2025: Himachal Pradesh, 8th October 2025: The Government of Himachal Pradesh, in collaboration with Crack Academy, is set to conduct the second phase of the “Mere Sheher Ke 100 Ratan” Scholarship Program on October 9, 2025. The test will be held across all Government and Government-aided colleges of the State, with the participation of leading universities, including Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla, and Maharaja Agrasen University, Baddi.
This initiative is being implemented under an MoU between Crack Academy and the Government of Himachal Pradesh, aimed at empowering meritorious and deserving students through free and subsidized coaching for national-level competitive exams such as UPSC, SSC, Defence, Judiciary, JEE, and NEET, along with skill development programs. Selected students will also receive individual career counselling to guide them on suitable academic and career paths.
Following the successful completion of the first phase in May 2025, which covered over 2,500 Government and private schools across the State for students of Classes 6 to 12, the program now extends to higher education institutions in its second phase.
Under this initiative, 100 students from each Vidhan Sabha Constituency will receive 100% free coaching. Of these, 75 students have already been selected from the first phase, while the remaining 25 students will be shortlisted through the upcoming test. Additionally, 75% and 50% scholarships will be awarded to other deserving candidates. To ensure inclusivity and accessibility, only students enrolled in Government or Government-aided colleges with a family income below ₹12 lakh per annum are eligible for this phase.
Speaking about the program, Neeraj Kansal, CEO & Founder of Crack Academy, said, “The Mere Sheher Ke 100 Ratan initiative is a heartfelt commitment to nurture the academic potential of Himachal’s youth. Through this program, we aim to empower deserving students from every corner of the State with access to national-level coaching, mentorship, and guidance. Our vision is to ensure that talent, not geography or financial constraint, defines a student’s success. We are proud to work with the Government of Himachal Pradesh in building a stronger future for our young achievers.”
With an 18-year legacy, Crack Academy has helped over 5,000 students successfully clear various government exams, including more than 1,000 selections in UPSC alone. The Academy has also set up 50+ centers across Himachal Pradesh to deliver high-quality coaching through top educators from Delhi, ensuring that students in smaller towns receive the same opportunities as those in metropolitan cities.
This initiative is expected to significantly enhance Himachal Pradesh’s representation in national-level examinations, helping more students from the State secure success in highly competitive domains.

Hoopr Boosts Emerging Artists’ Earnings, Disburses INR4.5 Crore to 1,500 Musicians
India, 8th October 2025: Hoopr, India’s first music licensing platform, has announced that it has paid over INR4.5 crore in payouts to more than 1,500 artists across 20+ genres, through its platform, over the past three years. This milestone marks an industry first in micro-sync licensing payouts, underscoring Hoopr’s commitment to building a transparent, scalable, and sustainable ecosystem that empowers music creators and ensures fair compensation for their work.
With this milestone, Hoopr has established itself as a powerful revenue engine for musicians who operate behind the scenes such as music producers, composers, and background score creators who often remain outside the spotlight of traditional music monetization.
While conventional revenue streams like streaming, live performances, and royalties tend to favor established artists and major labels, Hoopr has opened up a new monetization frontier for mid-tier and emerging talent. Through its transparent licensing model, every time a brand or creator licenses a track from Hoopr, the artist earns directly, making it one of the most inclusive and sustainable income opportunities in India’s evolving music landscape.
Hoopr’s current roster includes known and emerging producers and music composers such as Nilesh Dahanukar (Special 26, Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior, OMG: Oh My God!), Aditya Kudalkar (Konkani short film Gathan), Divya Limbasia (The Family Man), Sayan Chakraborty, Devashish Korani (Yeh Chahiye, Ruaa Ruaa), among many others.
Over the last three years, Hoopr has built a strong platform which is being used by 30,000+ creators, including popular names such as Ashish Vidyarthi, Chef Ranveer Brar, Flying Beast, and has partnered with 175+ brands including ITC, Himalaya, Myntra, Meesho, Marico, UltraTech and many more.
Hoopr’s model ensures that every time a brand or creator licenses a track, the respective artist earns between 50–65% of the revenue. Artists on Hoopr benefit from two key revenue channels direct licensing income when their music is used, and royalty payments facilitated through Hoopr’s strategic partnership with IPRS.
An inspiring example is Trivarg Arandhara (Triv), an emerging independent artist from a small town in Assam, who earned from a single micro-licensing deal on Hoopr an amount equivalent to what he would have made from a whopping 4.8 lakh streams on conventional platforms like Spotify or YouTube.
Gaurav Dagaonkar, Co-founder & CEO of Hoopr, said: “This milestone goes beyond the payouts—it represents a shift towards sustainable income for artists across India. We firmly believe that licensing is the future of creator monetization, and ₹4.5 crore in payouts is only the beginning. As the adoption of licensed music accelerates, we expect artist earnings to rise exponentially. By FY2028, our goal is to surpass ₹100 crore in cumulative payouts, driven by expansion into new genres and languages, deeper collaborations with global and regional labels, and the increasing use of licensed music by brands, agencies, and content creators.”
Meghna Mittal, Co-founder & CRO of Hoopr, added: “Transparency and trust have been core to Hoopr’s DNA from the very beginning. Our tech-enabled backend ensures that artists are paid promptly whenever their music is used. By combining a seamless, automated licensing experience for both artists and brands, we’re raising the bar for fairness and accountability in the Indian music economy. This is only the beginning — we’re building an inclusive ecosystem where every artist can thrive, and brands can effortlessly access culturally resonant music.”
As India’s music ecosystem matures, a new era is taking shape—one built on transparency, shared growth, and the belief that fair licensing can power a more creative and sustainable future

Maharashtra’s GCC Policy 2025 Poised to Drive 4 Lakh Jobs, Expand Innovation Hubs Beyond Mumbai and Pune
BY: Yogesh Singh, Partner- Corporate Practice, Trilegal.
“The Maharashtra Global Capability Centre Policy-2025 is a timely and forward-looking blueprint for India’s next growth decade. By targeting 400 new GCCs and creating 4 lakh high-skilled jobs, it directly supports India’s journey towards Viksit Bharat @2047 and the vision of a INR 30 trillion innovation-led economy. What makes the policy particularly significant is its inclusive geographical design. It deliberately extends the GCC story beyond Mumbai, Pune, and Bengaluru to cities like Nagpur, Nashik, and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The policy will connect local talent and regional infrastructure with global enterprise demand, bridging the urban-rural opportunity divide. This also aligns with the Union Government’s broader push to empower emerging cities, as reflected at the time of budget discussions. Equally noteworthy is sectoral depth of the policy; prioritizing industries such as aerospace and defence, life sciences, automotive, renewable energy, logistics, IT/ITES, and textiles, promoting specialised GCC clusters that leverage Maharashtra’s diverse industrial base and research capabilities. Maharashtra is positioning itself as a global centre for innovation, analytics, and digital transformation. The combination of fiscal incentives, infrastructure readiness, and policy convergence is likely to make Maharashtra a future-ready GCC destination.”
