When they started, it was just Reeju and Akash, along with another member who handled sales. At the time, Akash and Reeju started out by powering small restaurants in Bangalore. They were focused on night delivery restaurants, as it was a segment that required alternate options for cash payments. So, night delivery restaurants are where they found their very first users.Today, they help businesses of all sizes accept payments, make payouts, verify bank accounts, Aadhaar, PAN, and more.In this podcast, we had an amazing conversation about digital transactions, the role of payments in the growth of startups and small businesses, and more.
