Through this card, business expenses like international travel and petty finances like fuel etc. can be managed for senior executives in the company.

The card will come with added benefits like discounts on hotel bookings, tickets cash back incentives, lounge access and many more. Zaggle has a partner network of companies such as WeWork, MakeMyTrip, AWS among others which it plans to use to curate exclusive offers for its clients.

The company has plans to launch the ‘Founder’s Card’ by August 15 post the lockdown is over and things start going back to normal. Arvind Ronta, Head – Products, India & South Asia, Visa said,

“SMEs remain the backbone of our economy. Now more than ever before, it has become more important for SMEs to assess how to best digitize their businesses.

Zaggle is already working on its marketing strategies to attract the right pool of clients. Phani said, “We are building up a phenomenal ecosystem of various partners. The plan is to bring all the SMEs on a single platform like our founders’ card on which all these solutions are automatically listed,”
