Insight: SSV Capital CEO on key milestone and the summer's major inflexion point
Ankur Ghosh uses the example of the bamboo tree to explain the rapid progress of SSV Capital PLC in recent months as it hit a series of milestones that count down to a key inflexion point over the summer.
“For the first three years there is no visible activity to show the plant is growing,” Ghosh explains. “Then suddenly, in year four it shoots up to 80 feet tall.”
What management says
SSV Capital PLC CEO Ankur Ghosh speaks with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion about the company's recent milestones and growth trajectory.
Ghosh shared insights into the commercial launch of SSV Smart Pay, which saw an increase in both merchants and customer. "We are trying to systematically increase the customer transaction volume," Ghosh said, noting that over 2,000 merchants have already integrated a white-label solution on the platform, with plans to expand into Ireland and across Europe.
Additionally, SSV Capital is focusing on Proptech developments, aiming to onboard real estate projects and implement technology solutions that can scale. The company also highlighted its fundraising efforts for SSV Capital Partners, targeting a committed capital of over 50 million euros and growing to 250 million euros in the next three years.
