What inspired you to build mPokket after working in global finance?
Replied byGaurav Jalan
Founder at MPokket
Niche: Finance
Revenue: Estimated $4M-$8M USD/month
Location: Kolkata, India
Started: 2016
The idea came from my experience as a student in the United States. Even as an undergraduate, I had access to formal credit through a credit card. When I returned to India, I noticed that students struggled to access even small amounts of money for educational expenses. That gap became the foundation for mPokket.
