At FundingBee, I’ve always believed that no vision can take flight without a strong team driving it forward. Every milestone we reach is powered by the dedication, creativity, and resilience of the people I am fortunate to work alongside. 

Together, we are not only moving the company forward but also shaping a future where SMEs gain faster, fairer access to the capital they need to grow.

Syed Asif - Director & Chief Business Officer

I’m willing to put in long hours because creating something impactful is the goal I’m committed to.

^Syed

At the heart of my journey is Syed. When he first joined, the world of financing was unfamiliar to him, but that challenge quickly became his motivation. Inspired by our mission, he immersed himself in everything from setting up early operations to shaping today’s business strategy. With over 22 years of experience, he has a remarkable ability to turn vision into action, laying the foundation for our growth through structured processes. 

He often reflects on the pride he takes in building systems step by step—transforming remote beginnings into an established office, assembling a team, and launching our first digital product. For him, the real reward comes not from the hours put in but from building something meaningful and impactful from the ground up.

Yoges Wary Bala Krishna - Manager, Finance Operations

The main challenge is low financial literacy among customers, so we educate them while making wise lending decisions to ensure a win-win.”

^{Yoges Wary}

Yoges brings over 18 years of experience in credit. While she initially expected her role to be firmly rooted in finance, her journey at FundingBee quickly expanded into areas she had never imagined, from marketing to system testing. She now oversees the entire funding cycle, ensuring not only sound financial decisions but also educating customers along the way. 

For her, challenges such as low financial literacy among clients have become opportunities to create real impact, striking a balance between responsibility and growth. Her adaptability has been one of the strongest forces behind our ability to navigate complexities with confidence.

It is not just a job for us. It is our connection to each other.

Mahendran Rajaindran - Manager, Finance Operations

Everyone has their struggles, so my approach is to have an open conversation, understand their situation, and find a solution that works for both sides.

^Mahen

Mahen, our Manager of Finance Operations, handles one of the most delicate aspects of our business—following up with defaulters. At FundingBee, we believe there is an art to this process. Rather than resorting to scare tactics, Mahen approaches each case with empathy and understanding, recognising that everyone faces challenges that may affect their ability to repay. 

His role is not just about collection, but about conversation—listening to our clients, identifying the root of the problem, and working out practical, reasonable solutions. This mindful approach ensures that we maintain respect and trust, while helping businesses get back on track.

Rathini Selvamany - Assistant Manager, Accounts & Administration

The positive approach of our team makes me appreciate our culture—and inspires me to go the extra mile.

^Rathini

Equally vital to our story is Rathini, our Assistant Manager of Accounts and Administration. Having transitioned from a more rigid corporate environment, she has found her place in FundingBee’s open and collaborative culture. Her ability to juggle HR, admin, and finance functions keeps the business running seamlessly, while her personal touch strengthens the bonds within our team. 

From managing deadlines to problem-solving under pressure, she thrives in the fast-moving environment and has discovered new confidence through direct interactions with partners and vendors. Her creativity and warmth shine through in the way she helps organise company activities, which foster connection and trust among our people.

Our motivation? Each other.

Fresh Perspectives

Our younger team members bring fresh perspectives that enrich FundingBee’s journey. Khairina, our finance intern, has seen firsthand how technology transformed our processes—from manual work to streamlined systems that attract more customers—an experience that sharpened her skills and highlighted the power of innovation. 

Meanwhile, Harpuja, our Marketing Associate, takes a human approach to her work. For her, marketing is about listening to people, understanding their challenges, and tailoring solutions to their needs. By building genuine connections, she reminds us that behind every application is a person with a dream, and supporting those dreams is at the heart of what we do.

Together, this team embodies what FundingBee stands for. Each of them brings unique strengths, perspectives, and experiences, but what unites them is their shared passion for making a difference. Their commitment ensures that our mission is not just an idea—it is a reality that touches the lives of countless small businesses. And as we continue to grow, it is their drive, resilience, and creativity that will keep paving the way forward.
