TransFi Associate Director salaries in India (Updated 2025)

There is absolutely nothing to like about this company—it's hands down the worst place I’ve ever worked. The current CTO, who used to be the VP, is by far the most incompetent and credit-hungry person I’ve come across. If something goes well, he’s the first to take the credit; if anything goes wrong, he blames everyone else just to save face. The so-called leads, HR, and other team members are just puppets with zero authority—everything bends in favor of the CEO. The CTO’s English is so embarrassingly poor that even Google Translate would crash trying to make sense of it—honestly, a donkey speaks better. He has absolutely no respect for juniors or seniors

...rk 24/7, 365 days a year like a robot. They run internship programs where they with big lies about job offers but never offer any confirmation for full-time roles. Most of the old employees have already left, and more are leaving every day. If you value your mental and physical health, do not join this company. Money isn’t everything—this place will destroy your peace. Choose wisely.

Transfi has great products, which can scale. Got the opportunity of working in the emerging fintech space. They also provide time flexibility, but the working hours almost always exceeds.

Dislikes

My time at Transfi was deeply disappointing and frustrating. What initially appeared to be a promising fintech start-up quickly revealed itself to be a chaotic and mismanaged organisation. Founded by an ex-Indian bureaucrat, and ran like a banana republic. The CTO, an ex Byju's edu-tech, seems to have bought along not only his colleagues, but also the worst aspects of Byju's toxic, and hire and fire culture. Employees are fired without any accountability, creating a sense of constant fear and instability among the tech teams. One of the most damaging issues is the complete lack of structured knowledge transfer. Onboarding is virtually non-existent, and managers-rather than guiding or mentoring- often resort to being rude, dismissive and ignorant. Worse still is the blame culture between departments (QA & Tech Leads), resulting in the avoidable instances. -Note: If you are someone who wants to work hard, values structure, respect, and security - look elsewhere.

Dislikes

Everything, 1. CTO/CPO demonstrates abusive behavior, frequently making late night calls, blatant disrespect to juniors, and lacking basic manners in communication 2. Promotion is on basis of favoritism rather than merit or hard work 3. The Product team fosters a toxic environment where they don't care about your opinion, unsurprising that team members leave within 3 months, unless they actively strive to appease the team head. Lastly Mr. RS, Ms. SA & Mr. SS get a life

This place is basically a smaller version of byjus, with the same t0xic work culture you might have heard about. The team is filled with ex-byjus employees, personally chosen by a VP (now CTO) who comes from a sales background but is now in charge of tech. They only support each other, and you are only serv@nt for them. They will not help you, but bl@me you in case anything gets wrong. They neither have skill nor mindset of leader, but are given lead position due to favourit ism.

Dislikes

These guys get a huge amount of money, but are unable to justify their impact, so they humili@te you in front of others so you look d@mb and they appear smarter. Don't believe it? just check their past employees and job duration. Don't fall for their WFH trap and sorabh, dipuk, nundi are some t0xic peeps you should avoid at all.

Nothing, Expect extremely long working hours with little to no recognition for your efforts. Despite any title you hold, you’ll essentially be a "fake lead," as decisions are heavily influenced by those favored by the CEO. If you’re considering joining, understand that you’ll be on your own, and your manager won’t have the power to support you.

Dislikes

Everything, The VP Eng. holds much amount of power and often meddles in areas like QA and Product, even though from the Eng team. The troubling part is that when things go wrong, blame is shifted to the QA team to protect own. Several people have faced this.
