About Shyam Kalairajah
I am passionate about expanding access to financial services in South East Asia! I've previously worked at BCG, Barclays Bank and NGOs with this aim, focused on financial inclusion in developing markets.
I grew up between the UK and Malaysia so have had the opportunity to see huge gaps in the financial ecosystem in SEA, and hope Finku can bridge that gap. Please reach out if you're interested in joining us for the journey, or feel free to reach out on any other topic if I can be of use.
