About Setu
India’s economic infrastructure needs a complete overhaul. Today our digital economy rides on rickety monolithic systems built in the mid-90s. It takes months to do a simple bank integration and launch a fintech product. This inefficiency cannot continue.
If our economy has to grow, we need killer API infrastructure for financial services that rivals the likes of Stripe, and AWS.
At Setu, we are fixing this for good, by abstracting away the complexity of working with legacy financial infrastructure and replacing it with a developer platform that offers clean, high-performance API bundles to embed finance into any application.
So that developers can do what they do best, build amazing products that improve people’s lives.

Be our partners’ first port of call within Setu
Build new products and tools to crunch integration times and time to market
Improve through peer-learning and transmit them to the Setu dev ecosystem
