The Statesman|January 02, 2025
San Francisco-based Fintech Piston Technologies Inc., founded by Shivam Shah of Kolkata and Vikram Sekhon, is now looking towards India for more purposes than one.

"While other cities like Mumbai and Bengaluru are known for start-ups, we chose Kolkata due to its rich technical talent pool, lower costs and higher retention rates. We are looking at building a team in here which can align with our vision and help us move faster. This city offers the technical depth we need to build a global product. We are on a mission to transform the payment experience for businesses across the globe. Drawing inspiration from India's thriving digital payment ecosystem, we are creating solutions that not only enhance efficiency but also redefine how businesses manage transactions," said Shivam Shah, COO & Founder, Piston Technologies INC.

Piston Technologies INC, a pioneering force in digital payment solutions, has actually lined up plans to set up its product development facilities in India. That's not all. The company will leverage its Indian facilities to expand its operations across the US.

He remained measured, professional and honest till his last breath. Importantly, it wasn’t just his partisan rivals or individuals from his selected staff who pushed him under the proverbial bus, but also folks from his own party or leadership who dimmed his authority whilst he was in office
