Over the last few months, as global markets grew volatile and export margins tightened, these inefficiencies became impossible to ignore. It was this exact problem that led Ashwin Bhatnagar, Anand Balaji, and Abhijit Chandrasekaran to start Xflow, with a mission to make international payments transparent, fast, and affordable for Indian businesses.
“When we started Xflow, most exporters didn’t actually know what they were paying to receive international payments, high FX spreads were buried in fine print and treated as inevitable. Only large enterprises could negotiate better terms. We believed transparency had to be the starting point,” said Ashwin Bhatnagar, Co-founder, Xflow.
