BharatPe

BharatPe is a New Delhi-based fintech company founded in 2018 by Ashneer Grover and Shashvat Nakrani that provides digital payments and financial services to Indian small and medium businesses. Its merchant stack centers on a single interoperable UPI QR for payment acceptance across all UPI apps, augmented by BharatPe Speaker for voice transaction confirmations, BharatSwipe POS card machines for offline acceptance, BharatPe One (all-in-one POS), bill payments, and a co-branded credit card. On the financing side, BharatPe originates business loans for merchants through partner NBFCs, runs the InvestBharatPe / 12% Club investment platform, operates the PostPe buy-now-pay-later product, and is a co-promoter of Unity Small Finance Bank. The company reports more than ten million merchant partners across 450+ Indian cities and turned profitable in FY24 with roughly INR 1,700 crore in revenue. BharatPe is owned by Resilient Innovations Private Limited; it does not publish a public developer API, SDK, sandbox, or OpenAPI surface — its merchant and consumer products are delivered through native Android/iOS apps and an enterprise sales channel for partners.

human only

Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles BharatPe the way a machine reads it — 24 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — BharatPe scores 14.8/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.
