CrowdPouch, a Bengaluru-based startup clocked transactions worth 1 Crore during the Pandemic

November 19, 2020 Published by TheFintechBuzz.com

 

CrowdPouch, a fintech startup founded by Vittal Ramakrishna, provides a preselling and a fundraising platform for all in the country. During the last few months, the startup has run many fundraising campaigns and hosted hundreds of preselling stores to support independent creators.

While the entertainment industry took a big hit during the pandemic, CrowdPouch supported performing arts by promoting fundraising campaigns for Live Streaming events. This was a win-win situation for the artists and the fans as the artists received the support they needed and the fans got to watch their favourite artists perform. Another unique feature of the platform is that any independent creator can sell their handmade and homemade products online. There is minimal documentation required and it’s open for all residing in India. This serves as an encouragement for aspiring entrepreneurs to showcase their talent and get a shot at earning revenue through their
handmade products. No other platform currently offers this facility for independent creators.

Launched in 2019 by Vittal Ramakrishna who aspires to organize the currently unorganized preselling market, CrowdPouch also allows artists to take customization requests from the buyers. This essentially enables all users to preorder products purely on ‘Made to Order’ basis. In addition, all products are made in India.

CrowdPouch has raised its Angel Round from Elina Investments earlier this August. Going forward, CrowdPouch aims to get under its wing as many artists and individual creators as possible, spanning the length and breadth of India.

Blackhawk Network Celebrates One-Year Anniversary of India Strategic Development Centre

November 6, 2020 Published by TheFintechBuzz.com

 

Located in Bengaluru, Blackhawk Network’s India Strategic Development Centre (SDC) is celebrating its one-year anniversary since launching in November 2019. The SDC-a key driver of innovation for branded payments provider Blackhawk-focuses on delivering omni-channel payment products and the core enterprise roadmap that powers the organization’s consumer and partner ecosystems. Among the top initiatives of the SDC are mobile payments, a global data lake, internationalization of incentives products, consolidation of multiple settlement systems and global expansion of its retail and online commerce product offerings.

India’s FinTech ecosystem has witnessed major developments over the past year which have strengthened the country’s position as a FinTech hub. During the pandemic, Blackhawk has continued to build its SDC workforce, with a focus on providing career opportunities to engineers, product managers and program managers by recruiting beyond traditional methods-allowing the company to tap into the region’s diverse talent pool.

“Our SDC’s one-year milestone underscores Blackhawk’s commitment to Bengaluru as a critical hub of innovation within our global product and technology organization,” said Talbott Roche, CEO and President of Blackhawk Network. “As an industry pioneer, we are proud to carry on our legacy of disruption through the important work of our SDC team in delivering innovative payment solutions that will shape the future of global branded payments.”

Radhakrishna Venketeshwaran, VP – Head of Strategic Development Centre, Product & Engineering, Blackhawk Network, added, “As we expand our India team of 150+ employees to deliver complex programs worldwide, we will continue to invest in their career development to grow and excel. We have hired an exceptionally talented team that contributes to our dynamic, innovative, creative and collaborative culture, and I thank them for all of their hard work and efforts throughout our first year.”

Bengaluru was selected as the preferred location for Blackhawk’s SDC owing to its deep talent pool and alignment with Blackhawk’s ‘follow the sun’ model. The location allows for agility and provides optimal proximity to Blackhawk’s customers and partners around the world.

To create a superior and consistent employee experience, Blackhawk has established a robust remote onboarding process for new hires while integrating with the global teams. While the SDC’s hiring strategy remains aggressive, the health and safety of new hires continues to be a top priority.
