We spoke with Sanjay Mathew, from Oracle and Mayank Mishra from Citi, about their outlook as they lead clients through the po...

Recreating the Retailers Payments Stack
The pandemic rocked retail to the core, and was a time when multiple payments options and omni-channel commerce became vital to survival. Some of the biggest casualties are the mid to large traditional retailers who have declared bankruptcy in record numbers. Their profit margins are being squeezed by the behemoths while a lot of the problem solving has been for small businesses to operate better and smoother. In order to compete, retailers need to be able to move as swiftly as the payments industry, keeping up with new preferences, and experiment with trends. We spoke with John Lunn, CEO...

Becoming the Dungeon Master of Retail Investing
Retail investing has never been a hotter space. During the pandemic, as certain discretionary incomes increased, and apps have made participating in the markets easier, there has been an explosion of interest and activity.

Retail investing has always had a memetic nature, but social media communities about investing are changing the movement of investing information and making it vulnerable to bad sources. So how do you embrace the openness and create communities that are authentic, creative, and supportive as more people bec...
