Read what they had to say
Being identified as the ‘Fintech Startup of the year’ during the FinTech awards and subsequently getting a direct entry to Paris Fintech Forum was a very significant milestone in our startup journey. This was one of the first major awards we received and it was a great recognition of the hard work we had put into building our product and platform. This award gave us enormous belief in our vision. We’ve come a long way ever since, but winning IFTA 2017 will always remain special to all of us at ZestMoney.

“IFTA’s ‘Fintech Start-Up of the Year’ award in 2016 was among the first honourable recognitions Capital Float received. The award acknowledged the company’s immense potential to disrupt financial services and be a chief driver of technological innovations in the space. The Indian Fintech Forum continues to encourage tech-driven start-ups in BFSI to push the envelope and support India’s objective of being a Fintech superpower. ”
