Kabir Ahmed Shakir, CFO of Tata Communications, said the divestment marks a significant milestone in the company's journey to streamline portfolio and focus on areas that drive long-term growth and innovation.

"We are confident that TSI is well-positioned to drive the next phase of growth for TCPSL and will further strengthen and scale this business, ensuring continued value for customers and stakeholders," Shakir said.

The acquisition immediately equips Findi with a White Label ATM platform and licence, a payments switch and a network of 4,600 plus ATMs. Findi will also have the ability to deploy ATMs to its network of 180,000-plus merchants offering payment services (under its FindiPay and BankIT brands).

Deepak Verma, MD and CEO of TSI, said: "The acquisition of Tata Communications Payment Solutions Ltd is a critical piece in our journey to become the most trusted enabler of financial empowerment for India's underserved."

TCPSL's current ATM portfolio, white label licence and payment switch give TSI immediate scale, as well as the ability to deploy ATMs to merchant network, transforming them to a full stack financial hub, and empowering them to expand their services and better serve underbanked communities, Verma added.
