In this episode of Chain Reactions, we welcome Paroma Chatterjee, CEO of Revolut India. 

With a career spanning marquee names like Flipkart, Airtel, Kotak, and ICICI, Paroma is now leading Revolut’s ambitious entry into one of the most complex and promising fintech markets in the world: India 

Our conversation spans: 

• The real moat in Indian fintech (it’s not user growth) 

• The pitfalls of global fintechs entering India without localization 

• How India’s next fintech opportunity goes far beyond UPI 

• What Revolut’s dream team hiring philosophy looks like (and why most don’t make the cut) 

• Why Paroma hates being called a “woman CEO”—and what needs to change in boardrooms 

• Advice for India’s next-gen founders 

Paroma also shares her vision for personalized payment solutions, UPI innovation, and Revolut's ambitious plans involving IoT, AI, and a potential banking license. She also reflects on her leadership philosophy, the art of building exceptional teams.
