The buy now pay later (BNPL) juggernaut continued to grow bigger during the festive season as multiple players said that they saw disbursals grow by more than 100 per cent compared to Diwali last year.
LazyPay, the BNPL platform of Prosus-owned payments major PayU, saw credit demand rise 300 per cent over the festive season last year, especially in segments like travel, food & beverages and entertainment.
