Having previously worked as a Non-Executive Director with Billtrust, Bindra took on the role of CEO at Pine Labs in April of 2018. His successor too boasts impressive credentials in the Fintech industry. Having founded Citrus Pay in 2011, Rau went on to become CEO of PayU in 2016 when his startup was acquired by the company for $150Mn.
Pine Labs currently offers a variety of merchant platforms, including POS devices.

Pine labs further boasts machinery for the disbursal of working capital loans, as well as providing EMI solutions.
Executive Chairman, Lokvir Kapoor commented on the move, saying, “I am excited to welcome Amrish to the Pine Labs family.
