Bringing together multiple viewpoints, both in person and in data with Sanjib Kalita (Fintech Meetup and Guppy)

Sanjib Kalita is one of the most recognisable faces in global fintech, and now one of the most recognisable voices in global fintech, too, so when I saw we were approaching 200 episodes, he was who I wanted to get on to mark the occasion.

We talk about Sanjib's early career, his move into events, including what it has been like building Fintech Meetup, the Most Valuable Event in Fintech, and then, because Sanjib doesn't just talk the talk, we cover his own startup ventures, including why he created Guppy to transform the way in which consumers and businesses control and use credit data.
