Commenting on the milestone, Akash Sinha, Co-founder & CEO of Cashfree Payments, said: “Building a business from the ground up is never easy, and we’ve lived that journey ourselves. Over the past decade, challenges, tough choices, and breakthroughs have shaped who we are today. Having walked that path, we understand the resilience it takes to scale and sustain, which is why we feel a deep connection with the founders, and startups, writing their own stories. India’s spirit of innovation has never been stronger, and this campaign is our humble way of celebrating that energy by giving back to the community that has trusted us. With a full year runway, businesses will have the space to test, grow, and scale fearlessly, while we take care of all their payments needs.”
