Foundation
The commencement of PayKun Payment Gateway was the result of their difficulty in getting a payment gateway for their previously established freelancing business. They realized how difficult it is to get a merchant account for startups and SMEs. The PayKun founders had no background or knowledge in the Fintech industry and were newly graduated in their respective fields. So it almost took 6 months on research, to know everything regarding the payment gateway requirements and technology. This way, they started to work on developing their own payment gateway to render the services and took 2 years in its establishment. They had it launched on August 15, 2018 and got the company officially registered on May 31, 2018.
Initially, there was a staff of only 15, and the company is developed in the tier-3 city of Gujarat. All in all, it was quite a challenge at the time of inception. However, today it has 50 employees working on the path of its growth and development.
