PhonePe, the Walmart-backed Indian payments startup, has updated its IPO filing, signaling a major liquidity event for its investors. Tiger Global and Microsoft are set to fully divest their stakes in the company. Walmart, however, intends to maintain its majority share while selling up to 9% of the company.

The company leads India's digital payments market in transaction volumes, significantly outpacing competitors like Google Pay.
