“We are delighted to be the first FinTech company went public through Reg A+ on Nasdaq,” commented Mr. Meenavalli, Chairman and CEO of Longfin. “We acknowledged Nasdaq and the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act for providing micro-cap companies, such as ourselves, with great opportunities to raise capital from the market. We will use the capital we raised during IPO to execute our growth agenda so that we can maximize the shareholder value.”


“India’s innovation-driven growth has been unprecedented. Its economy boosts transformation within the country and contributes to global development.” said Bob McCooey, Senior Vice President, Nasdaq. “As the 2nd IPO completed on Nasdaq by an Indian company since 2010, Longfin embodies the can-do spirit like many entrepreneurs of Nasdaq listed companies.
