In the announcement of the transaction, founder and CEO of Tala Shivani Siroya said, “Our Android application has allowed over 6 million individuals to access our first product. And now we’re moving beyond that to become that full financial account for our customers. And, again, across our markets, that’s what we’re looking to do with this fundraise.”
