Can you talk briefly about your professional background and how has been your experience as a
business leader?
started my career in the field of business development and this experience exposed me to the dynamic world of sales. After that I moved to the Times Group where I worked directly with C level executives. I was in charge of developing training programs and executive seminars that addresses the company’s most pressing issues. Even during my stint with the Times Group, I was looking at the Indian payments industry and was working on how to enter the
segment. My passion and love for the payments ecosystem was instilled by Ruchi, she is the driving force behind my constant hustle to work towards this space. She has been a guiding light throughout this journey and I have been working closely with her since then. The pandemic helped me to slow down and research more about the payment’s infrastructure in India. During this time, I saw multiple prevalent gaps in the industry and that’s when I decided that we need to create a payment infrastructure system that can not only bridge these gaps but can also stand at level pegging with some of our western counterparts. This pursuit for excellence is what led me to this domain eventually.
Treating Payomatix Technologies as my own baby has helped me to cater to almost all the facets of our operations and this has given me a holistic view on our operations. Apart from wearing multiple hats at the same time, as an entrepreneur, you are also required to come up with business solutions on your own and this pushes you to develop a broader aspect of looking at things. Also, for me, entrepreneurship is a constant endeavor and me being a passionate learner has helped me to consistently reinvent myself. So, I
