Bansal's new startup Navi is already in discussions to raise its first external round and will probably be the most valued company at series A worth $750-800 million. We broke the news earlier this month

How RBI reviews his application over the next one year will be interesting. Bansal's chances are high, and countries like UK are being studied where digital lenders have been granted license. More on how Bansal is navigating regulations in our article
