The story

Founded in 2018 as a corporate-card-based payables platform for Indian businesses, EnKash evolved into a full-stack spend management platform spanning payables, receivables, expenses, and corporate cards. Securing RBI Payment Aggregator and Prepaid Payment Instrument licenses transformed it from a third-party software layer into a regulated payments operator, enabling it to launch its own payment gateway and co-branded wallet-as-a-service offering.
