Mr Aman Pal
Founder & CEO
Zennopay Inc
Track Entrepreneurship & Startups
I’m Aman, a founder obsessed with fixing the tiny frictions that quietly slow down the world.
Right now, that obsession looks like Zennopay, where we’re building real-time payments rails for Southeast Asia. If money can move within countries in seconds, it should move across them just as easily. Travelers shouldn’t lose 6–12% just for crossing a border.
Before Zennopay, I spent 6 years across multiple early-stage startups, learning the craft of building, shipping, breaking, and rebuilding. I dropped out of college early to work full-time in the arena instead of the stands. That decision shaped how I work: fast, resourceful, customer-first, and allergic to unnecessary complexity.
