Episode 247 – From the Vault: Multiplayer Fintech Builds a Winning B2B Service – Robin Gandhi, TripActions (Episode 146)
It’s September 2024, and this month, we’re focusing on business-to-business payments. B2B payments are difficult because so much information must be exchanged for them to process efficiently. But there’s more to it than that.
For this episode, we pulled a favorite from our vault – number 146, a discussion between George Peabody and Robin Gandhi. Since this aired in March of 2021, Robin has moved to a post as Chief Product Officer at Nium, and TripActions has rebranded to Navan. But the underlying ideas discussed regarding B2B are still important – and this idea of multi-player fintech and what it means for B2B payments is quite relevant.
