Om Kundu

Founder of SaveAway®, which has pioneered the “Save Now, Buy Later” category through its patented retail e-commerce + fintech offerings in empowering un(der)served buyers and sellers alike to realize opportunity where they least expected it: to render the unaffordable affordable, sustainably — by making more informed buying decisions and seeing those purchases fulfilled by harnessing the gears to SaveAway®, without the slippery slope of credit resulting in debt for far too many. SaveAway® has been cited on the NASDAQ site and Workweek among "FIntech that makes an impact", and previously named Top Fintech Forward Company To Watch: Its #SaveForWhatMatters mission — in engendering a sustainable foundation for consumption — has been oft-cited at Finovate, NRF, Qorus, and among the Top-💯 separately by the NYC Economic Development Corporation’s Founder Fellowship, and 'Startup of The Year' shortlist by the Consumer Technology Association and Established Co.

Spanning over two decades, Kundu has brought to bear emerging tech. and data analytics to deliver sustained growth for both startup and mature portfolios — within several leading retail financial institutions, with a digital and physical footprint that covered a third of the US. Kundu is a Stanford University alum with BS in Mathematical and Computational Sciences, and Interdisciplinary ‘Science, Technology, Society’ Honors. He has previously chaired several industry conferences and served on the advisory boards of publications, organizations, and the SXSW Pitch.
