Interesting facts of Bhavin Turakhia, Founder and CEO of Directi

Mumbai, Jan 22 () Serial entrepreneur Bhavin Turakhia on Wednesday said he is focusing on taking his newest business Zeta to the US and Europe as he looks to decrease the fintech firm's reliance on India for revenues.
 The 40-year-old billionaire said the company is not looking at any acquisitions or stake sales at present, but will be open for a strategic investor coming in like French player Sodexo.
 Turakhia said over USD 70 million has been invested in the company, including USD 40 million by him and co-founders and USD 30 million by Sodexo, for creating a product suite targeted at banks.
 "We have been building the product for four years and 
will be launching in US, which is the biggest market for fintechs, and European countries this year," Turakhia told .
 He said all his previous businesses, including Directi, have depended on overseas clients for revenues, but Zeta has been an exception, wherein it sold services to Indian banks initially, and then branched out to Brazil, the Philippines and Vietnam in its four-year journey till now.
 The UK, Italy and Spain are the markets in Europe the company is looking at, Turakhia said, adding it takes up to six months for customising a product to local compliance requirements and ensuring connectivity with local financial switches.
 The company launched the suite called 'Tachyon' on Wednesday, wherein it has integrated a host of applications and services into a single suite. 
 The company is looking at increasing its total headcount to 650 by end of March 2021, and half of the incremental talent will be hired overseas across functions, Turakhia said.
 It will continue to look at India as a key for its engineering and product development activities, but will also hire talent for this function overseas, he said.
 At present, it counts on Kotak Mahindra Bank, RBL Bank, IDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and HDFC Bank as among clients, Turakhia said, adding that it has also developed core banking softwares for which it is in a few conversations.
 Typically, a new age bank or one which is entering into a new vertical like credit cards is the one which will be looking for the core banking solution, he said, adding the company sees the ongoing mergers of state-run banks as an opportunity.
 Turakhia said the company will be "self sufficient" from a cash flow perspective and added that it does not require any external capital. It has last raised capital at a USD 300 million valuation. AA MR

Bhavin Turakhia looks to take fintech product to US, Europe

<keyword id="1076906" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="100" keywordseo="Directi">Directi</keyword> is a <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=mumbai&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Mumbai</a>-based <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=tech+company&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">tech company</a> that was founded by <keyword id="2057257" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Bhavin-Turakhia">Bhavin Turakhia</keyword> back in 1998. Over the years, the group has come to consist of multiple business units which are run independently by their respective management teams. 
 
The Directi portfolio includes numerous companies such as Media.net, Skenzo, Radix, Ringo, Flock, Zeta and Codechef to name a few. One unique feature of all of Directi businesses are the fact that they are all bootstrapped and extremely profitable. None of their 11 businesses have any external debt or investments. 
 
Thus, the company employs over 1500 people across 8 offices around the world catering to over 9 million customers and raking in revenues of over $300 million every year. 
 
At first glance, Directi may seem like any other entity in the burgeoning list of companies that exist in the Indian landscape. But, as you delve deeper, you find that there’s more to what meets the eye. 
 
Being a company that focuses primarily on technology comes with its own set of challenges- the chief being finding the right set of people who can help the organisation reach its targets and grow. But, as the company soon found out, that was easier said than done. 
 The founders soon realised that the root of this problem was the generic <keyword id="606888" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="hiring-process">hiring process</keyword> which comprised aspirants coming in with their resumes and giving a half-hearted interview. 
 
Culture-fit was an important part of the organisation from the beginning itself and the company soon realised that it was impossible to gauge the know-how or creativity of candidates just by holding a generic <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=hiring+process&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">hiring process</a> like every other company. 
 
It was time to be different. And, thus STAR was born. To understand candidates better, Directi started using an approach called STAR - Situation, Task, Action and Result. 
 
 
 
It started assigning case studies to candidates across all functions and positions as part of the hiring process. Since these case studies are quite extensive, candidates are given enough time to come up with a solution. This, the company believes is an excellent tool to evaluate an individual’s competency to think on their feet in a stressful situation and was anyday better than them answering a question on the same. 
 
As time passed, the company started introducing more and more task-oriented hiring processes. For instances, candidates applying for tech roles are often asked to develop web applications using a bunch of technologies or they are asked to make an existing app using a different language. Bonus points are awarded to candidates who come up with additional features like integration with Facebook. 
 
The most unique interview has definitely been when the company asked candidates to solve a Rubik’s cube to test their problem solving ability. 
 
Directi also goes a step ahead and keeps asking unusual questions to test the ability of a candidate to think out of the box, from time to time. 
 
For example, candidates who applied for sales and design positions in the company had to answer questions like- “How many flights are in the air over Mumbai right now?”, “How many diapers are sold in Mumbai every day?” and even “How will you design a spice rack for blind people?”. 
 
That sounds like one fun interview. We wonder what the candidates answered!

This Indian tech company has one of the most fun
hiring processes ever

The gaming platform claims to have 5.2 million monthly active users and distributed over USD 308 million to winners annually. A couple of small-size gaming start-ups like Quizy have announced to shut down their business. Industry body All India Gaming Federation (AIGF) in a statement early this week said that with over 400 per cent increase in GST liability, a vast majority of entrepreneurs who had innovated in the sector would be disproportionately impacted with many of MSMEs and startups going out of business.

In its Series C round of funding the company raised $250 million from Softbank Vision Fund II at a valuation of $1.45 billion. A ‘unicorn’ is a private company that is valued at $1 billion or more. The deal more than quadruples Zeta’s valuation since 2019, when Sodexo SA valued the startup at $300 million. With new money in its pocket and a brand new unicorn tag, Zeta plans to use the new funding to expand in the US and European markets. “They [banks] have been slow to innovate and provide poor user experiences,” said Bhavin Turakhia, co-founder of Zeta. According to him, Zeta is poised to capture the markets where banks are moving online and away from the conventional branches. It provides backbone technology for credit and credit-card processing, core banking, loans, mobile banking and personal finance management. <div type="ExtQuote" text="“Banking software is a $300 billion industry globally. Most banks still employ technology, which is significantly older than their customers, impacting user experience and engagement." auname="Munish Varma, managing partner at SoftBank Investment Advisers"></div> The company is banking on its simplified approach being different enough to attract customers. Rather than work with numerous supplies, as banks and financial institutions typically do, Zeta wants to combine all of those services and provide one cloud-based offering. So far, Zeta has 10 banks and 25 <keyword id="2461546" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="FinTech">fintech</keyword> companies across eight countries among its customers. This includes bigwig Indian banks like HDFC Bank, Kotak Mahindra, Axis, and others. Sodexo, an existing investor, is also a customer. It participated as a minority investor in the Series C round of funding. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="List of startups that have entered the unicorn club in 2021:"

In fact, most of the startups he’s been involved in, in the past, have been without institutional funding. Zeta’s move to raise capital marks a departure from his preference for bootstrapping his businesses. Zeta founder, 41-year old Turakhia, launched the startup in 2015 after already having dipped his toe — more like submerged his toe — in multiple startups with his brother, Divyank. He was already coding at the age of 10 and had attained millionaire status by the time he hit 20. By the time he was 26, he shared a billion-dollar fortune with his brother.

The transaction details of this deal remain undisclosed. The development was announced by Kavin Mittal, chief executive and founder of Hike, on Twitter. The development comes after Hike raised capital from top angel investors, in August 2021, for the first time in five years. Several big names like Tinder’s co-founders Justin Mateen and Sean Rad, SoftBank Vision Fund’s chief executive (CEO) Rajeev Misra, Tribe Capital’s Arjun Sethi, Zeta’s cofounder Bhavin Turakhia, Cred’s Kunal Shah, Snapdeal’s Kunal Bahl and Rohit Bansal and South Park Commons’ Aditya Agarwal participated in this round. Hike was founded in 2012 and was considered one of the fastest growing unicorns (company valued at or over $1 billion) back then. It was valued at <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/hike-raises-175mn-in-series-d-funding/articleshow/53720179.cms">$1.4 billion </a>during its last fundraise of $175 million in 2016 despite its inability to generate any revenue from operations.

There’s little to separate these two categories. Gaming is now inherently social, evolving into a new way for people to hang out and interact in the virtual world,” Mittal said in August 2021. The company, in its previous press note, also mentioned that it will be looking to experiment with social and cryptocurrency. It also added that a part of the capital raised to expand its product strategy and hire across functions. It has a team of over 160 employees that are working across 50 cities in India.

New Delhi, Mar 12 () Flipkart is offering its employees with small children to work from home and encouraging use of digital and video tools to ensure business continuity amid the global coronavirus outbreak. Its group company PhonePe has also asked most employees to work from home (WFH) until further notice. The number of coronavirus cases continues to climb globally, with 74 cases being reported in India so far. Coronavirus, declared as a pandemic by World Health Organization, has claimed over 4,600 lives worldwide. "We are promoting the use of video conferences for meetings, including job interviews, and are temporarily avoiding events and training programmes that require large gatherings as a precautionary measure," Flipkart said in an emailed statement. It also said that apart from giving a work from home option to young parents (with children studying till grade 5), we are checking system preparedness for working remotely using digital and video tools. The company has also issued a ban on all non-essential domestic and international business travel, and is encouraging employees who may have returned from international travel to work from home for 14 days. Flipkart said its facilities are being sanitised and deep cleaned at regular intervals as per standard norms for such situations. "Specifically, for our supply chain and logistics network, we have organised awareness sessions across all our facilities on how our employees and partners can minimise their exposure by following simple precautionary measures," Flipkart said. It added that its delivery partners are being provided with sanitisers and other required equipment to use while they are on the go, and are keeping track of impacted areas to minimise their exposure. Those who are unwell are being advised to the rest with all assurance of medical support. PhonePe said it has also initiated a WFH policy. "Most teams have been asked to WFH until further notice already. Employees in a few critical functions, have been asked to come to the office on a rotational basis," it added. As the contagious disease with flu-like symptoms spread across the globe, domestic and foreign companies operating in India have issued advisories to take precautions, and even asked employees to WFH. For e-commerce companies with large fleet of people delivering products, containing the situation poses a bigger challenge. Online grocery delivery platform Grofers said its delivery personnel are being monitored and trained on handling of sealed crates. "At current levels, all essential supply chains are functioning normally, both for Grofers and for our suppliers. Apart from some items which have hard caps on production and particularly those that are sourced from China, most items should continue to be available, although the mode of delivery and supply chains will have to adjust," it said. Bhavin Turakhia, founder and CEO at Flock and co-founder and CEO at ZETA, said the two companies have announced a slew of measures to ensure the well-being of its employees. "Business continuity plan (BCP) across business units and functions including the support functions with a 3-5 work from home mock drill. Our BCP is not limited to only work from home, it takes into account succession planning for critical roles that will come into effect in case of an employee or their loved one falls sick," he said. The company is also undertaking virtual interviewing and hiring, conducting educational and awareness sessions on health and fitness through online mediums to ensure their health is not compromised even as they work from home.

Coronavirus: Flipkart offers work from home for employees with small children

Post <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=demonetisation&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">demonetisation</a>, digital payment companies have been enjoying the good days as their businesses flourished exponentially. Now such companies are looking forward to better things in the upcoming <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Union+Budget+&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">Union Budget</a> to ensure customers stick to <keyword id="6358577" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Digital-Payments">digital payments</keyword> instruments and don’t migrate back to cash. 
 
The whole sector is hopeful that center, in a bid to drive cashless economy, will follow the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=South+Korea&amp;sortorder=effectivedate">South Korea</a> model where their government succeeded to switch a major chunk of payments in the country to digital means through <keyword id="6358231" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="tax-benefits">tax benefits</keyword> for both merchants and consumers. 
 
“The government of South Korea did the maths around the fact that the number of people coming into the tax nets incrementally because of digital payments and the cost of cash to the GDP reducing would offset the temporary hit that they had in terms of tax payments. I think this would be not only sustainable but also of great attraction for Indians who are careful about saving taxes under investments, home loans, etc,” TR Ramachandran, group country manager, India and South Asia for Visa, told ET. 
 
The whole payment industry has been meeting Finance Minister Arun jaitley and it is said that they have presented various case studies of different countries to showcase a direct relation between tax benefits and uptick of digital transactions. 
 
“Tax benefits from both sides — merchants as well as consumers — will get more people to transact digitally. Merchants can get discount on service tax, sales tax, etc. while consumers can get benefits on income tax,” Paresh Rajde, founder of Mumbai-based domestic remittance and payments company Suvidhaa Infoserve, told ET. 
 
Reportedly, Mastercard has said that the government should focus on small merchants and promote digital payments among them to address issues around credit underwriting and onboarding for this sector. 
 
“One of the biggest resistance factors for consumers to adopt electronic payments is their fears around safety and security. It is critical that the government take the safety and security agenda very seriously and invest in technology and fraud protection tools,” Porush Singh, country corporate officer and division president South Asia for Mastercard, told ET. 
 
According to people with knowledge in the field, major reason why merchants and small shopkeepers prefer to transact in cash is because they want to avoid tax net. Hence if they are given tax benefits on accepting payments digitally there would be more number of people taking it up. 
 
The industry has also requested for extension of the import duty waiver on PoS terminals for card payments beyond March 31as it expects the demand for such terminals to go up. While industry executives seek more support from the government to promote digital payments, there is also talk around some mention of cyber security as there are security concerns around digital payments. 
 
“Everything that the government has announced, from UPI payments to Aadhaar authentication, there are huge security concerns around its implementation,” said Bhavin Turakhia, chief executive at payments technology company Zeta. “The government needs to recognise such concerns for both cards as well as UPI,” he said.
