People.

We have 250 employees now at Fintech Farm and we are all business partners in our company. Each of us thinks big, acts as if we own the place and never takes "no" for an answer. We work with strong individuals whom we empower and trust rather than micromanage. Common sense rather than formal policies prevails in all that we do. We always stay curious and open-minded. We embrace the 'we over me' culture.
