For two years, I led Fintech Solutions at NPCI, working across UPI, RuPay and the wider payments ecosystem with banks, fintechs, payment aggregators, wallet providers and technology partners. It gave me a close view of what happens when critical financial infrastructure has to operate at massive scale, under constant regulatory scrutiny.
Before NPCI, I spent nearly two decades across fintech, SaaS, trade finance and enterprise technology. I helped scale a $1.2 billion trade-finance book at Drip Capital across India, the Gulf and Africa, worked with Zaggle through its pre-IPO years, and built a marketing analytics practice at Searce using Google Cloud and AWS for global enterprises.
One problem kept surfacing across these environments, but became especially obvious at NPCI: operations had become real-time, while compliance had not.
Transactions happen in milliseconds. Systems generate the relevant signals continuously. Yet when a regulator, auditor or board asks whether a specific obligation was actually met, the answer is still usually reconstructed after the fact, across logs, spreadsheets, emails and multiple teams.
A regulator does not ask whether you intended to comply. It asks what happened, when it happened, and whether you can prove it.
AssureNode exists to compute that answer continuously, instead of reconstructing it later.
