Dr Nikhilesh Tiwari

He is the founder and CEO of Spay Technology Pvt Ltd. His career began in Kanpur and Delhi with a fintech firm as a Sales Manager. During his stint with Vodafone M-Pesa in 2015, he visited many villages in Bihar and learned that villagers lacked bank accounts or a way to send or receive remittances from distant relatives. They needed help with this. Helping them create an M Pesa account to transfer money solved their problem.

He believed technology was the greatest egalitarian enabler today.
