Market Context
The GCC region hosts millions of expatriate workers who regularly send money to their home countries. This is one of the largest remittance corridors in the world. The market is fragmented across dozens of providers with varying exchange rates, fees, and transfer speeds.
Raly aims to bring intelligence and transparency to this market — helping both consumers and fintechs understand the landscape.
Family Connection
Shaurya's father Ashish Bahl works at Thunes, a global cross-border payments infrastructure company. This direct exposure to the payments industry shaped Shaurya's understanding of remittance corridors, payment spreads, and the opportunity in the GCC.
