Why Join

Be a part of a stellar team. Build a world class product.

But here are 5 more reasons why you should join our tribe.

1. This is an exciting early stage startup in the FinTech space, based out of Bangalore. This space has seen significant investments. Last year the sector attracted $12Bn in venture money globally, up from $3bn the year previous. In India, with the increase in aadhaar cards, the launching of the Jan Dhan Yojana scheme to get people to open bank accounts and the penetration of mobile internet - there is a huge focus on getting the un-banked and financially under-served population within the formal financial ecosystem. 'Financial inclusion' is an important objective for the government. (Google 'JAM' by Nandan Nilekani and Raghuram Rajan.)

2. The product is a mobile first product. The web will be available to only drive downloads and search. Through the app and our technology, we will sell financial products like banking solutions, insurance, loans etc to the customers. This is in line with the 'financial inclusion' vision.

3. The team that is executing this has run and exited multiple businesses in India and Silicon Valley. Currently we are a ~25 member team.

4. We have already raised significant money from top VCs. This has been largely on the strength of the idea and the team.

5. For anyone who joins at this stage, it will be a great way for them to set the product direction and get in early into a startup that is going to grow very fast.
