This story of innovation and disruption will continue and grow stronger in the next few months and hence our hiring plans are being driven by more investment in product development, customer experience and new additions to the existing product suite so that we cater to the ever-evolving payment and banking needs of SMEs & MSMEs.”
Nagri added, “I believe that the new team members will come with a new set of ideas, relentless enthusiasm and an undying passion to ensure we stay at the top of the game and continue to put customer experience and convenience before everything else. We are excited and looking forward to 650 more people joining us as we together work towards servicing the next 5Mn businesses by 2022.”
