General Manager - India

  • Taptap Send serves immigrant communities by helping them with their most important financial needs: first and foremost, the need to send money to friends and family back home. We work hard every day to give people something very simple -- a reliable and honest service -- by relentlessly pursuing solutions to lower costs, reduce delays, and increase convenience.
  • The result: a company committed to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal on remittances; a product that is no-fee, instant, and mobile-mobile first; and a highly localized, community-led approach that treats individuals as exactly that. We’re already sending to over 10 countries in Asia, Middle East and Africa, including Ghana, Senegal, Kenya, Morocco and Bangladesh, and are expanding quickly.
  • We’ve got an outstanding team from 25 countries, speaking 30+ languages and living anywhere from New York to Nairobi to Casablanca and Singapore. You’re more likely to catch us learning to cook Chicken Mouambe with our Congolese team than playing beer pong, and we are actively recruiting.
