LKP Finance Acquires Gyftr, Plans NBFC Exit
LKP Finance, a financial company, has bought a big part of Gyftr, a digital gifting platform.
They want to change their business from traditional financial services to a focus on payments and rewards.
They have applied to give up their NBFC license.
LKP Finance already owns a part of Mufin Pay, which owns Gyftr.

Digital gifting is a big part of this, with millions of e-gift cards issued.
The corporate gifting segment is also growing fast, driven by employee and customer programs.
The integration aims to make rewards more important in business and financial processes.
