Background Research
- Ujjwal Sukheja - Growth marketer
- From India
- Pillow now available in Nigeria
- Arindam CEO & Founder Pillow Finance - 1 year in operation (August)
Questions:
- A bit about your story, how long have you been in CeFi? What is your entry story into web3? ✅
- Can you talk us through the name, how it came about and what it means? ✅
- With Pillow now being available in Nigeria, are there more African nations to come in the near future or will that depend on Nigeria’s performance? ✅
- To talk a bit on your vision with Pillow, what sets you apart - there are defi protocols and solutions cropping up every week or so, some make it and some don’t, is there a specific thing you think will help Pillow to survive the worst of times? ✅
- Inflation and the markets ✅
- Is offramping part of your services? ✅
- Educating users on financial health? Now or in future? ✅
- Do you strictly deal with crypto? What about stocks and/or commodities? I ask this because young Africans don’t seem to be considered when it comes to providing access to investment opportunities, it’s only crypto seems to be expanding ✅
- Fintech in Africa is still struggling to be accepted, I am assuming that the sentiment around CeFi is stricter, tighter and even more complex to navigate - can you speak on how Pillow is able to operate in that? ✅
- Pillow launched in August last year, in a bull, was the timing optimal? ✅
- How did you choose Africa? Are the conditions in India similar to Africa - is this why you were able to help build the solutions ✅
- Are there similarities in these geographies? Are all people generally the same? ✅
- How can we innovate in Africa while the US dollar keeps fluctuating the way it does, since we are pegged? ✅
- What does that say about the true potential of Africa and other economies? ✅
- The crypto user numbers in Africa are constantly up, who are these people? ✅
- Language options for the app in the horizon? Is there KYC? ✅
- Are there any closing comments you would like to add?
- 3 words about how you feel about the space
