Retail investors generally cannot buy shares directly. Access typically runs through accredited-investor marketplaces, employee tender programs, or funds that have already built a position β€” and is subject to the company’s transfer restrictions and rights of first refusal.
Why did PhonePe's valuation trade at a discount to its last round?

Is the valuation on this page an official company valuation?
No. Secondary marks reflect the price a buyer and seller agreed on (or are discussing) in a specific transaction, not a valuation the company itself set. They are a useful demand signal, not an audited or company-endorsed figure.
