Freecharge Careers

Freecharge is an Indian digital payments platform that enables users to perform mobile recharges, utility bill payments, UPI transfers, and merchant payments through a mobile app and online platform. Founded in 2010 by Kunal Shah and Sandeep Tandon, the company initially gained popularity for simplifying prepaid mobile recharges and offering cashback rewards. Over time, it expanded into a full-fledged fintech platform offering services such as UPI payments, digital wallets, and financial services for consumers and merchants. Freecharge has built a strong presence in India’s rapidly growing digital payments ecosystem.

The company was acquired by Snapdeal in 2015 and later by Axis Bank in 2017, positioning it within a major Indian banking group while continuing to operate as a fintech brand. With several hundred employees and a strong technology-driven approach, Freecharge focuses on convenient, secure, and fast digital transactions. It competes with major Indian fintech players such as Paytm, PhonePe, and Google Pay, and continues to expand its offerings in merchant payments, lending partnerships, and digital financial services.
