Fintech unicorn Pine Labs acquires Saluto Wellness’ enterprise platform


Pine Labs, a fintech unicorn, announced that Saluto Wellness Pvt Ltd. of Bengaluru has sold it a proprietary enterprise platform. With this transaction, Pine Labs’ Qwikcilver-branded Issuing Business will have improved capabilities. This would enable it to better serve medium-sized and large-sized businesses by enhancing its services in the areas of employee incentives and recognition, customer loyalty programmes, and channel partner programmes. The agreement’s terms weren’t made public. 

Through its 2019 acquisition of Qwikcilver, which merged with Pine Labs last September, Pine Labs has a dominant foothold in India for prepaid, stored value, and gift card solutions. In 2017, Siva Kumar and Anoop Nambiar created Saluto Wellness together.
