In the latest episode of the Figuring Out Podcast, we are in conversation with Akash Sinha, CEO & Co-founder of Cashfree Payments, India’s leading payments and API banking company, a IIIT and ex-Amazon employee. He has a background in tech and has also worked with a FinTech company before.

Akash Sinha and Reeju Datta started Cashfree Payments in 2015 and initially, they were digitizing offline COD payments. Then in April 2016, they got into the online space completely. 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. Watch the episode till the end to know the complete details.

Raj Shamani, you must re arrange the seating position here, your guests have to turn their head to talk to you and this is uncomfortable to watch.

[soorajkadnor]

Some lighting in the background text "Figuring Out" are turned off.
Is it done on purpose, like saying, still figuring out or like it's never figured out. ?

Why nobody focuses on the size of end screen.. Its tiny..The thumbnail is barely visible.. 😛

FIRE CONTENT FOR BUSSINESS PEOPLE
THANKS BRO

[bidyanandjha]

Thanks RAJ BHAIYA for one more amazing podcast😊

[futurprenour]

Feedback is something, what the product maker always ignores. Raj bhaiya here's the same so I think 💬 you have to give us some short of knowledge about the person & his business before starting the conversation with them 🤟💪 bhiya i hope you will do that next time🙂🙂🙂
Love you and your content, aur h aapka start-up k kya haal h

Web 3 will give you decision power, ownership

[realmotivation]

🤨i think you are doing mistake, Web 3 is democratization. Democratization is not web 3. You tube did democratization in content industry. But it's not following web3 philosophy nor will in future. Because Web 3 to my mind is highly inefficient. Because business can't be run with the concept of web3.
Don't confuse Blockchain technology with web3. Blockchain has its use cases. If you have another view than this you can write below.

Insightful Video, thanks Raj bhaiya for bringing out such content

[johnlatina]

I'm at no 4th view.
hope that's not the case with my GF.❤😜

[vaishakh]

RAJ SHAMANI, can you truthfully, heartfully state, how much money you charge per episode from the guys you interview ? Can you be transparent about it ?
