Zeta plans to use the capital to expand its business across 15 countries including the US, the UK, in Europe and in Southeast Asia.

It has brought value to all our stakeholders, clients, consumers and merchants. We have already started to work together outside India and we are happy to expand and strengthen our partnership with Zeta."
