STORY BEHIND THE COMPANY:

Prashanth heads the product management role and Roshan heads the development role – both of us were the founders who worked together at Manipal group for 2 years for the IT solution department. While working together, Prashant came up with an idea that had taken root when he had problems paying for Uber online in a place where there was no internet. He then discussed the issue with Roshan, and after 3 months of research, they developed a prototype that makes financial transactions possible without the internet. The good news is that Prashant who belongs to Tier-4 city realised this issue and tried to solve the problem. He had personally seen his friends and family struggle to make digital payments. Most of the time transactions failed and reimbursements required a waiting period of 2-3 days. During the natural calamities or local riots, we have seen how the Internet shuts down or there is a power outage. If the nation goes completely digital and if the internet shuts down for even a few hours, what is the alternative solution? Considering these pain points. Prashant sought out a tech solution which would enable everyone to understand and access digital payments. This is when I realised that. Yuva Pay is the next evolutionary step towards digital payments for the next billion users.
