Cashfree Payments CEO and Co-founder Akash Sinha highlighted the crucial role of payments infrastructure in helping Indian small and medium businesses scale digitally. Founded in 2015, the fintech company has witnessed a significant shift from cautious online payment adoption to an expansive digital commerce ecosystem. Sinha noted that emerging brands face major trust deficits at checkout with first-time buyers. To address this, Cashfree is offering solutions such as instant refunds and rapid settlements. As internet and smartphone penetration deepens, the company views onboarding offline SMBs onto digital channels as its next major growth frontier.
