About Abhay
Abhay Shenoy is 20 years old, based in Gurugram, and makes videos for a living, for clients who aren't always in the same country, timezone, or currency.
Through Tastefully, his creative practice, Abhay works with international founders and brands on video content that actually has a point of view. The work is good. The clients keep coming back. And for a while, the payments were quietly making the whole thing harder than it needed to be.
The Problem
Loss on every transaction On every international payment received, 4–5% would be deducted, not as a clearly stated fee, but embedded in the exchange rate. On a ₹1.5 lakh project, that amounts to ₹6,000–7,500 lost per transaction, with no visibility into where it went.
Delayed settlements Payments from international clients would take anywhere between 4 to 7 days to reflect in the account. For a freelancer managing cash flow independently, this delay directly impacted the ability to pay for tools, software, and project-related expenses on time.
Compliance with no support Receiving foreign income comes with its own documentation requirements, FIRA certificates, GST filings on export income, and more. Without a dedicated accountant or prior experience navigating these regulations, compliance was a recurring source of friction and uncertainty.
I don't think about payments anymore. I think about the work.

The Impact:
The financial difference was immediate. But the bigger shift was attention. Before Infinity, some part of Abhay's week was always spent chasing payment status, converting screenshots into proof, or quietly wondering if a delayed transfer meant something had gone wrong.
That's not creative work. That's dead weight.
Now, a client pays. Abhay gets a notification. The rupees are there by morning.
The Solution:
Zero FX markup, flat 0.5% fee
Infinity charges a flat 0.5% transaction fee with no markup on the exchange rate. The amount received mirrors what the client sends, a difference that was apparent from the very first transaction.
Same-day settlements
Payments reflect in the account within 24 hours of the client transferring funds.
Compliance handled automatically
Infinity generates FIRA certificates automatically and takes care of the documentation required for foreign income in India. There is no need to engage a CA or navigate compliance requirements independently, it is built into the process.
