Bhardwaj sees Indian sellers securing quick and seamless access to international funds
FinTech unicorn PingPong Payments, a US$2 billion valued specialists in cross-border payments solutions from the United States, has partnered with India Sourcing Network (ISN) to make borderless e-commerce possible by helping Indian sellers receive funds from their international buyers.
The move will bring greater opportunities for buyers in the US and Indian sellers by leveraging PingPong’s same-day payments service to create faster payment corridors and enable more competitive pricing, addressing end-to-end sourcing and payments needs for small and medium-sized businesses.
The global retail e-commerce market is predicted to grow by 12.7% to US$5.5 trillion this year, signaling an unprecedented opportunity for the US-based sellers to win new online customers. And today, as product suppliers become tired of the slow invoicing and unnecessary fees associated with traditional banking methods, PingPong’s all-in-one platform simplifies the payments process through integrated automation.
By partnering with ISN, Indian sellers can receive funds in real-time, in their domestic currency, and build trusted business relationships with global sellers.
Kenny Tsang, Managing Director of PingPong Payments, said on 31 Mar 2022, “Companies like India Sourcing Network are thriving, thanks to the benefits brought about by an increased demand in cross-border payments. PingPong’s partnership with ISN offers Indian suppliers and global sellers competitive pricing options, by leveraging PingPong’s same-day payments system to solve the sourcing and supplying needs of tomorrow.”
“In a rapidly moving e-commerce world, with new business models emerging daily, PingPong is constantly innovating to keep pace with the global expansion of these fast-growing supplier networks. By utilizing India Sourcing Network’s supplier base, sellers from the US can receive tailored offerings from suppliers and find alternative trade opportunities to those destinations experiencing ongoing shipping delays,” he elaborated.
ISN co-founder Meghla Bhardwaj elaborated, “ISN’s partnership with PingPong means that Indian sellers can expand their offering globally, securing quick and seamless access to funds from the US businesses looking to buy internationally.”
“We are looking forward to a productive partnership with PingPong, expanding the consumer market of Indian goods across borders, thanks to PingPong’s extensive customer base,” he said.
