Anurag Varma

Straight up, let me put you on to Anurag Varma – this dude is the real deal in the fintech world. So, he’s a YC W22 guy, but what’s crazy is his story before YC. He’s been around the block, working at some big names like Ernst & Young in Hong Kong, Deutsche Bank, Deloitte, and Nucleus Software. Basically, he’s had a front-row seat in banking and consulting, soaking up all that financial tech juice.

Then, in 2020, he jumps into the startup game with SaveIN. This isn’t just any fintech, these guys are crushing it with embedded finance and a ‘care now, pay later’ thing for healthcare providers in India. Think about it: healthcare is a huge problem, especially in India, and Anurag’s building solutions that actually make that shit easier. SaveIN raised some serious cash, including from Y Combinator, Nordstar, and Kube VC, big names that don’t throw money around for fun.

What does this tell us about him? Well, he’s got serious global chops, worked in Hong Kong, knows banking and consulting inside out, and now he’s using that to build something that actually changes lives in India. It’s like he’s always been about solving real problems with tech, and his process shows he’s not afraid to jump into the deep end, learn fast, and build shit that matters.

Honestly, this guy’s story is about hustle, smarts, and a hunger to shake up the traditional finance space. He’s proof that if you combine global experience with a local problem, you get something special. No Cap, he’s someone to watch because he’s not just riding the wave, he’s making the wave.
