🚀 We’re excited about the $25.5M fundraise, but even more so about the vision it powers— building a future where every child in India with the ambition to study abroad has a clear path forward, no matter where they come from. 🔹 Here's what Zinc is building: - AI-powered education counselling (ada.inc) to guide families early on, making informed choices simpler and more accessible. - Smart investment solutions (zinc.money) that let parents save in foreign currencies, reducing the currency shocks when it’s time to pay tuition fees. - Seamless remittance services (www.zinc.money/pay) to simplify payments for everything from tuition to living expenses, all in one platform. - Future in-house lending options, bridging any last-mile funding gaps with affordable loan products designed for parents. 🙏 We are also privileged to have incredible backers. The entire teams at Nexus Venture Partners, Quona Capital, EDBI Pte Ltd, Global Ventures, and Saison Capital make incredible strategic partners and sparring partners. We've received some great coverage of the raise, including The Economic Times, moneycontrol.com, YourStory Media, Inc42 Media! https://lnkd.in/g3Tx4kPm https://lnkd.in/dyyUjeq8 https://lnkd.in/g_S_84VM https://lnkd.in/g-de6c48 Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this mission!

For 8 years, I've built credit products in India, that was a blast! But in that journey with Paysense and PayU credit, I saw bigger potential in banking, especially for "global Indians" stuck between local retail banking and "exclusive" HNI international banking. With a simple mantra that people who work hard for their money should have their money work harder for them I founded Zinc earlier this year. Zinc is solving global banking needs for aspirational individuals/families. We're fintech now, maybe a bank later, but labels don't matter. It's about impacting lives with top-notch products and services. If money, investments, payments, credit, rewards, FX, or related fields excite you, hit me up at [email protected] - Prashanth 🚀
