WellHired's take

Slice has pulled off something no other Indian startup has - a genuine, completed operational merger from fintech into a licensed small finance bank - while founder Rajan Bajaj's decision to personally reinvest $8.5M of his own money during a tough funding period signals real conviction rather than just external validation. Engineering roles here work on hard, modern data and platform problems (Trino, Apache Flink, Ray/MLflow for LLMOps, Kubernetes at scale) inside a company that's simultaneously operating as a regulated bank - a genuinely unusual mix of fintech engineering culture and banking-grade rigor.

About Slice

Slice was founded in 2016 by Rajan Bajaj and Deepak Malhotra, headquartered in Bengaluru, India, originally launching as a credit card challenger for students and young professionals. In October 2024, Slice completed a full operational merger with North East Small Finance Bank, becoming the first Indian fintech to transform into a licensed small finance bank, rebranded as Slice Small Finance Bank. The company has raised over $380M in funding, reached unicorn status at a $1.5B peak valuation, serves 17 million+ users, and became profitable on a monthly basis in 2026, with founder Rajan Bajaj personally investing $8.5M+ of his own money back into the company during a difficult 2024 funding environment.
