About

Building the financial infrastructure for the borderless workforce. Most fintech solutions for freelancers are "wrappers", apps layered on top of broken, legacy rails. This results in slow settlements, high fees, and compliance friction. At Zendt Payments, we aren't building an app. We are building the Complete Financial Stack for the $500B+ freelancer economy, focused on regulated, institutional-grade settlement. Why it matters: I didn't start Zendt as a theoretical exercise. I founded and exited Spectron, a GCC-based digital services firm, where I experienced the "money trap" firsthand. I’m now building the system I wish I had as an operator, starting with the India ↔ GCC corridor and consolidating the "Receive-Manage-Spend" workflow. Today, Zendt is focused on establishing the regulated rails for the India ↔ GCC corridor. Let’s talk if you are an investor, freelancer, infrastructure partner, or builder in the Fintech space.
