About Frog8
Deep expertise across transit, payments, and platform scaling. Building the infrastructure for India's digital future.
Our Vision
India is experiencing a once-in-a-generation infrastructure expansion. A $100+ billion metro rollout spanning 25 cities and 1,800 km by 2030 is creating the nation's most valuable consumer cohort—100M+ high-value, young, educated, and highly engaged commuters.
Yet this cohort remains "unowned." When commuters use anonymous cash, paper tickets, or zero-KYC cards, they are invisible to the financial ecosystem. Banks lose the relationship. Valuable data leaks out daily. A multi-billion-dollar platform opportunity remains untapped.
Frog8 exists to solve this problem. We provide the platform that de-anonymizes the commuter at the point of transit—unlocking the entire ecosystem through instant, full-KYC digital identity.
Our Approach
Platform-First
We build modular, scalable platforms—not point solutions. Our transit-proven technology extends seamlessly to retail, banking, and smart city applications.
Innovation Through Deployment
We don't theorize—we deploy. Our technology is proven at scale with Bengaluru Namma Metro, processing 100K+ daily transactions.
Deep Expertise
Our team brings 100+ combined years of experience in banking infrastructure, transit systems, payment platforms, and regulatory compliance.
