How It All Started
La idea de MishiPay surgió cuando Mustafa Khanwala, director general y fundador, esperó 20 minutos en la cola de un supermercado en el verano de 2015 para comprar una sola lata de refresco. Frustrado, pensó que debía haber una forma mejor de hacerlo, tanto para las tiendas como para sus clientes. Y así, comenzó el viaje...
2015
Se creó el primer prototipo de MishiPay, seguido por Tanvi Bhardwaj, la mejor amiga de Mustafa, que se unió a MishiPay como cofundadora y directora de tecnología. Poco después, ganamos nuestro primer lanzameiento en 'The Dandy Lab' en Londres.
In early 2016 we moved to a new home at IDEALondon, a post-accelerator centre run by Cisco, UCL Engineering and EDF Energy. By the summer we had won our first commercial deal, deploying at the Deloitte Store of the Future in London and secured our first external investment from Manchester University and UCL.
2017
Tras cerrar nuestra ronda de financiación inicial, empezamos a desplegarnos por todo el mundo en tiendas de demostración y establecimos asociaciones estratégicas con Cisco, Avery Dennison, Echangeur BNP Paribas y Weshop Germany.
After beginning the year by successfully raising over £2m in seed funding from the likes of Nauta Capital and Commerce Ventures, MishiPay launched with leading French DIY retailer Leroy Merlin. This was followed by the creation of Saturn Express; Europe’s first cashier-less store in Innsbruck, Austria. Over 30,000 users visited the store. We ended the year by deploying with leading fashion retailer Mango in stores in London and Barcelona and with Saturn in Hamburg; the world’s largest consumer electronics store.
In February 2019 both Mustafa and Tanvi were named on the prestigious Forbes ‘30 Under 30’ list, and shortly after we reached a proud milestone; our first national rollout with Decathlon Netherlands. We closed the year by securing £3.5m in our Series A funding round, with investment from American Express, United Ventures and Nauta Capital, and claimed the Institut du Commerce Connecté Startup Of The Year award.
2020
A pesar de los desafíos causados por la pandemia, lanzamos nuestra tecnología con prestigiosos marcas en Europa, como MUJI y Decathlon Deutschland, y también nos lanzamos con SPAR, Londis, Eroski y Dufry. Nuestro equipo ya había crecido hasta más de 40 personas, con oficinas en Londres, Bangalore y Dallas.
By the beginning of 2021, MishiPay was live in hundreds of stores across 13 countries, following our deployment with Flying Tiger Copenhagen in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. This soon became 14 when we launched our technology with Paradies Lagardere in the United States, and in the autumn we expanded our deployment with Flying Tiger Copenhagen to their London stores.
2022 saw the ongoing expansion of our deployment with Paradies Lagardere, bringing our technology to shoppers in more than 30 airports all over North America. We launched with Virgin Megastore, our first client in Dubai, and this was closely followed by more launches in the Middle East. We also introduced the MishiPay self-checkout kiosk with Flying Tiger Copenhagen and MUJI in London stores, transforming the stores to 100% automation run on MishiPay software.
In 2023 MishiPay continued signing new clients but also expanding with the existing ones. Flying Tiger deployed the MishiPay self checkout kiosk across all UK stores. MishiPay introduced the third product, the MishiPay cash desk, which also went live across the Flying Tiger UK stores. Moreover, MishiPay expanded in Dubai by launching self checkout kiosks and scan & go with Dubai Duty Free and Grandiose super markets. In the US, MishiPay expanded with Event network (across Georgia Aquarium and multiple other locations) and introduced an RFID scan & go and kiosk journey with Carters.
