On this episode of Shunya One, Shiladitya and Amit are joined by Akash Sinha. Akash talks about how he used to pick up freelancing projects while in college, the origin story of Cashfree and why he got into the field of finance. He also talks about what problems he faced with breaking into the scene pre-UPI, how the concept of being digital changed things around, what stopped the wallet companies and why were merchants preferring them rather than the wallets. Further, he explains about four products on the Cashfree app, what made them work successfully with banks and how his experience was dealing with it. Shiladitya and Amit ask Akash Sinha about how they tackle the market maturing to a very large extent, how they tackled the VC questions and how does RBI regulation make payments outside of India. Tune in for this and much more on this interactive chat with the CEO and Co-Founder of Cashfree, Akash Sinha.
