Worldline and Zone Startups Partnership Initiate Accelerator Program

Leading providers of payment services globally, Worldline and Zone Startups collaborated to establish an accelerator program for companies developing payment technologies.

As a member of BRTSIF (BIL-Ryerson Technology Startup Incubator Foundation, a division of BSE), both companies have inked an agreement.

In addition, Worldline will offer a technological, business, and knowledge platform to help these early start-ups that Zone Startups India is nurturing expand.

To foster innovation and entrepreneurship in the field of payment technology, Worldline will collaborate closely with the Zone Startups team as part of the paytech accelerator programme.

The collaboration, which falls under Worldline’s Buland Bharat campaign, will help raise awareness of the use of digital payments throughout India.

Zone Startups India offers a multidisciplinary coworking space with infrastructure, connections to business partners, assistance with company development, mentoring, and client relations for a chosen group of start-ups.

When commenting on the collaboration, Vishal Maru, Executive VP of  Financial Institutions, Worldline India, said, “The BSE Zone Start-ups India is one of the sought-after start-up accelerators in India”. The work they are doing to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship is wonderful to watch. We could not have asked for a better partner to uphold the innovation and growth-oriented values of Worldline in the creation of a long-lasting start-up ecosystem for payments technology. To make this a success, we are looking forward to cooperating closely with their team.

Zone Startups India’s managing director, Hemant Gupta, said: “We are thrilled to have Worldline as a business solution partner. Our start-ups will have the chance to interact with the broad spectrum of Worldline merchants thanks to their global network. The cohort will receive special opportunity for pilots from Worldline and mentoring from senior management at Worldline. Looking forward to using our relationship to advance this accelerator programme.
