Pakistan's first early wage access platform

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an early wage access platform that lets salaried employees in Pakistan draw down part of their accrued salary before payday. They use it to avoid late fees, cover emergencies, and replace costly loans. Our B2B2C model means we work with employers who offer Abhi as a benefit to their workers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Sindh, Pakistan, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Sindh is where we know the market, have relationships with employers, and can build our product closely with real users. Being local helps us understand the nuances of payroll and financial behavior here.
