Singapore-based fintech firm Volopay will invest USD 15 million (about Rs 113 crore) over the next 12 months to start operations in India, a senior startup official said on Wednesday.
The company has raised USD 29 million from Winklevoss twins - Cameron and Tyler, a global decacorn and others to expand business overseas.
"We are currently active in Singapore and Australia. In the next six months, we are expanding our presence to four countries - India, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. In India, in the next 12 months time frame, we will be allocating USD 15 million worth of equity," Volopay founding member Rohit Bhageria told PTI.
After expansion in six countries, Volopay plans to venture into the Middle East.
The fintech firm provides payment management technology to companies having a headcount in the range of 20-700 employees.
