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

We built a financial platform that lets minors in India do UPI, P2P, and card payments without needing their own bank account. Parents can send money to their kids under 18, who can spend it while parents supervise transactions. It's designed to make money management simple and safe for teenagers.

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

We live and are based in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, and will continue to be based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Bengaluru is India's tech hub with strong engineering talent and proximity to our first users. Staying here makes hiring and operating easier for FamPay.
