We roll out innovative campaigns from time to time to reward our top transacting merchants and further nurture our relationship with them. Earlier this year, we had rewarded 673 top transacting merchants across 10 emerging cities, in the 3- month long Festive Bonanza contest. Now, as businesses get ready for the upcoming festive season, we wanted to give our top performing merchants a chance to watch India play live at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the UAE. We understand that cricket is one of the most popular sport in the country and ‘BharatPe Lagao, World Cup Jao is designed to reward our top merchants with trip to Dubai. We are confident that this contest will enable us to further enhance our merchant engagements. We hope to touch atleast 5 million merchants with this initiative. We will be rolling out more innovative contests to empower and applaud our 7.5 million merchant partners in the times to come.”
