Visa gives an invitation to the startups of India for the Visa Accelerator Program 2023.

The Visa Accelerator Program, now in its third year, picks a small group of companies from all around the Asia Pacific to work together on some of the most urgent issues facing the payments sector. According to a Visa statement, the 2023 initiative will concentrate on creating solutions for Web 3.0, international money transfer, embedded finance, merchant and small business enablers, and open banking solutions.

“We send invites to the business for the third cohort we have great hopes for continuing the program’s current speed because we have seen some of the greatest ideas from Indian entrepreneurs who have participated in the preceding cohorts and co-developed the best solutions.”. said Sandeep Ghosh, General Country Manager, of Visa, in India and South Asia.

The Visa Accelerator Program, which was introduced in 2019, has reportedly helped some of Asia Pacific’s most well-known firms expand.
