Financial technology firm ftcash today announced its plans to hire around 500 people across verticals in the next 18 months.
"ftcash...plans to hire around 500 new team members over the next 18 months," the company said in a statement.
Software engineers for its tech team will comprise 15 per cent of the new recruits, while others will be hired across verticals such as marketing, sales, finance, and operations, it added.

"Our aim is to extend our innovative transactional services to one million merchants over the next four years and disburse loans worth Rs 150 crore," Kothari.
