Pine Labs share price jumps nearly 3% on collaborating with OpenAI

Shares of Pinelabs, one of India’s leading payment gateway service providers, jumped nearly 3% on Thursday morning after the company announced a collaboration with OpenAI. The shares traded 1.9% higher at ₹206 apiece on the NSE after giving up early gains.

Pine Labs has collaborated with OpenAI that signals a fundamental transition in how commerce is engineered. By integrating OpenAI’s APIs directly into its AI-native infrastructure, Pine Labs is moving beyond traditional automation to build Agentic Commerce, a paradigm where financial systems don’t just record transactions- but autonomously optimise the workflows behind them.

This shift represents a fundamental evolution from the deterministic ‘if/then’ logic that has defined fintech for years. By embedding OpenAI’s intelligence into the core of its stack, Pine Labs is engineering a Reasoning Layer for commerce, transforming its infrastructure into a dynamic system capable of understanding context and weighing probabilities, all while operating within a secure, compliant framework designed for high-stakes financial environments.

This collaboration marks a significant ‘dent’ in the industry, moving conversational AI from a medium of discovery to a mandate for action. Combined with India’s sophisticated digital payment rails - including innovations like UPI Reserve Pay, the collaboration enables Conversational Commerce to reach its full potential. Users will no longer just ‘search’ for products; they will delegate entire financial lifecycles to intelligent agents within a single dialogue.

In the first quarterly earnings report after listing, the company posted strong growth across metrics. The company’s revenue jumped 24% YoY to ₹744 crore, primarily due to robust growth in GTV of 29% YoY at ₹4.5 lakh crore. The company’s bottom line turned positive at ₹42 crore for the quarter as compared to a net loss of ₹57 crore in the previous year’s same quarter.

Pine Labs offers a merchant platform that includes technology and financial solutions for merchants. The company also leverages technology and domain expertise for merchants of all sizes, helping them to thrive in the changing global marketplace.
