Founder Thesis The Payments' Business Masterclass | Akash Sinha @ Cashfree Payments
A few years ago, businesses were struggling to accept card payments, and this demanded a solution that could enable the smooth running of businesses across the country.
In this edition of Founder Thesis, Akshay Datt speaks with Akash Sinha, Co-founder and CEO, Cashfree Payments, a Bengaluru-based FinTech start-up which facilitates businesses in India to collect payments online and make pay-outs.
Akash is an alumnus of IIIT Hyderabad and has an experience of two and half years in programming with Amazon. In 2015 he started Cashfree in a bid to digitize Cash-on-Delivery payments. However, this PayPal and Y Combinator incubated venture soon pivoted to a tech platform that simplifies inward remittances and outward bulk payments for merchants.
Today, Cashfree has many reputed brands as clients in its kitty and supports more than 1,00,000 businesses with its product offerings.
Tune in to this episode to hear Akash explain everything about the payments business and how Cashfree is building the pipes for seamless digital transactions.
