Bengaluru-based Akudo is born with the mission to empower India's teenagers with financial knowledge and independence. With Akudo, teenagers get a VISA card for shopping independently (use at Amazon, Nykaa, Swiggy and everywhere else), a Saving Partition to park money and save towards targeted goals to buy the things they want, learn the golden principles of wealth and how to think rich with thought-provoking videos and practical tips, and receive and send money from/to anyone by just sharing a personal link. Currently, the startup has over 1 lakh registered customers and has recorded a 75 percent week-on-week growth in transaction volumes. The startup has also issued 25,000 + cards delivered across 360+ cities across India.
