Introduction to Dhanhind
Established in 2020 by Anand Vurgese, Dhanhind is a technology-enabled, new-age B2B platform revolutionizing the way FinTech, Travel, and Allied Services touch every nook and corner of India. Its partner, the well-established Alhind Group of Companies, infuses Dhanhind with trust, technology, and transparency to enable local agents and provide secure, hassle-free financial and travel solutions to millions.
In a nation as big and multifaceted as India, millions of little retailers and travel agents labors unobtrusively in the background — assisting individuals to book tickets, pay bills, remit money, and receive financial services, even where contemporary banks or digital booths are unavailable.
What They Do and Why It Matters
In 2020, when India's fintech and travel craze was peaking, Anand Vurgese envisioned something: give these local agents access to top-of-the-line technology and unparalleled trust, turn them into one-stop shops for financial and travel services. And so, Dhanhind was conceived — a new B2B platform with an old promise: your local store must do more than deliver groceries; it must bring the bank and the travel agency to your doorstep.
Supported by the established Alhind Group, Dhanhind paired extensive industry knowledge with strong tech. Agents in India — from cities with a frenetic pace of life to far-flung rural villages — could register with ease, access a secure portal or app, and begin providing a substantial bouquet of services:
Domestic remittances, micro ATM withdrawal, Aadhaar payments, PAN card services, QR code payments
Utility bill payments, mobile and DTH recharge, FASTag recharges
Train, bus, and flight ticket reservations, hotel bookings, specially designed holiday packages
Insurance, mutual funds, and short-term loans — allied services
Strategic Growth
The concept was revolutionary for small retailers and entrepreneurs. With negligible investment and transparent margins on each transaction, Dhanhind converted millions of mom-and-pop stores into micro-finance and travel hubs — stimulating local incomes and bringing organized services to India's remotest villages.
By FY23, Dhanhind had ₹105.5 crore worth of revenue, basking in increasing trust by its agent network. The success of the platform rested on rapid onboarding, low costs per transaction, high call centers, and an on-ground support team dedicated to its cause — making agents feel supported, not left behind.
Institutional Support and Future Growth
What really differentiates Dhanhind is its dependability — inherited from Alhind Group's wealth of experience in travel, money exchange, and hospitality that spans more than two decades. That strong foundation of trust is what continues to have thousands of small-town retailers prefer Dhanhind over short-lived rivals.
In a world of flash apps and city fintech jargon, Dhanhind's community-led model serves as a reminder that actual transformation is going to take place one neighborhood at a time — fueled by local heroes who are pushing India to go digital, one transaction at a time.
