We’re driving the future of payments in a world where traditional finance is disrupted, and on-demand is the new norm. Our cutting-edge payments infrastructure empowers anyone, anywhere to make and receive payments instantly, no matter the location or currency. Prajit Nanu, Founder & Chief Executive Officer at Nium, grew up in the bustling streets of Mumbai with a very serious case of the “entrepreneurial bug.” To be a true business architect takes gumption, and let’s just say that our Founder has gumption in abundance. Whilst on holiday in Thailand, Prajit realized how difficult it was to transfer money internationally. It got him thinking. Like, seriously thinking. Freshly out of ”holiday mode” and barely able to contain his excitement – Prajit started his very first company - Instarem. Focusing initially on servicing consumer-led transfers, but it was not long before Prajit built a team to move money for businesses too. In 2014, with blood, sweat, tears and a passion for payments – Nium was born.
