Goldman Sachs has acquired a significant stake in Brainbees Solutions, the parent company of FirstCry, purchasing 6.8 million shares at ₹175 each through a bulk deal on the National Stock Exchange. The transaction, executed on 24 September 2026, is valued at approximately ₹119 crore.

Taktile, a Berlin-based decision platform for financial services, has raised $190 million in total funding, including a recent $120 million Series C led by Goldman Sachs. The company serves customers across 27 countries. Taktile's platform combines a decision engine, data marketplace, and agent platform to automate critical banking decisions like onboarding, KYC, credit underwriting, fraud detection, and transaction monitoring. The company initially launched as a horizontal MLOps platform in 2020 but pivoted after major tech companies released competing products. Co-founder and CEO Maik Taro Wehmeyer says AI agents now outperform humans at specific tasks like financial spreading for SMB underwriting, a process that failed to automate for three years until recently. However, the company maintains human oversight for final decisions, particularly in regulated areas like anti-money laundering. The company gained attention for placing a 300-pound bronze lobster statue in front of Wall Street's Charging Bull, generating 20 million views on social media.
Digital lending platform Moneyview raised Rs 327.5 crore from anchor investors ahead of its Rs 1,092-crore initial public offering.

The anchor investors included SBI Mutual Fund, HDFC Mutual Fund, ICICI Prudential Mutual Fund, Goldman Sachs, Mirae Asset, Motilal Oswal Mutual Fund, Aditya Birla Sun Life Mutual Fund, India Acorn Fund, Quant Mutual Fund, Amundi Funds and HDFC Life. The anchor round precedes the opening of Moneyview's public offering.
