WellHired's take

One of India's most engineering-forward fintech teams. Real infrastructure problems, genuine ownership culture, and a product that banks and NBFCs actually depend on. Best for people who want to own things end-to-end.

About Setu

Setu started with a simple frustration - building financial products in India meant navigating a maze of legacy systems and opaque APIs. Rahul and Anish set out to fix that at the infrastructure level. Today their APIs power account aggregation, UPI payments, lending origination, and KYC for hundreds of banks and fintechs. They are the pipes that much of India's embedded finance ecosystem runs on.

Build financial infrastructure that every developer in India can depend on.
