Empowering India Through Love and Innovation: The Inspiring Journey of Bipin Preet Singh & Upasana Taku
From the early days of MobiKwik’s inception to the ongoing pursuit of financial inclusion, their relationship - woven with love, determination and empathy - continues to influence millions of Indians.
When passion meets purpose and two brilliant minds converge, the results can redefine an entire industry. That’s exactly what happened when Bipin Preet Singh and Upasana Taku - the dynamic, determined duo behind MobiKwik - began weaving their personal and professional narratives into a single story. Today, their partnership is an inspiring testament to how a shared dream, fueled by love, commitment and resilience, can spark monumental change in the world of digital payments.
Early Ambitions & Converging Paths
Bipin’s Drive to Innovate
Before he ever conceived MobiKwik, Bipin Preet Singh was the kind of person who couldn’t stop brainstorming about the future of technology. Armed with a degree from IIT Delhi, Bipin always believed that smartphones were more than just communication devices - they could become gateways for financial empowerment.
Upasana’s Global Exposure
Meanwhile, Upasana Taku was honing her skills on the other side of the world. After earning her bachelor’s degree in engineering, she pursued an MS at Stanford University in Management Science & Engineering. Upasana gained invaluable experiences at global tech giants, including PayPal in the U.S., where she deepened her knowledge of digital payment systems. Yet, she felt the pull to return to India and create something meaningful on her home turf.
The Fateful Meeting
It was in India, amid the burgeoning startup ecosystem, that their paths first crossed. Both Bipin and Upasana shared a burning desire to simplify financial transactions for millions of Indians, many of whom still struggled with traditional banking systems. Their synergy became immediately evident in lively brainstorming sessions that would extend far beyond typical work hours. What started as an alignment of professional ideas soon blossomed into a shared personal journey.
