Swapnil Shinde

Swapnil Shinde is co-founder and CEO of Zeni, an AI-powered finance concierge for startups that he launched with his brother Snehal in July 2019, according to YourStory.

Selling a Travel Startup to Amex

Zeni is the brothers' third startup. Their previous company, a travel tech startup, was acquired by Amex. Across all three, they ran into how critical and complex the CFO role becomes as a startup scales. "We are a team that has done it before, just that instead of travel, we are doing it on the finance front," Snehal said. The mission, CNBC-TV18 wrote, was to remove the pain from accounting and make it "almost Zen like."
