Engaging with friends from your professional network over a call or in-person is always a remarkable and cherished experience. Recently, I had the privilege of conversing with Ahmed Siddqui, esteemed Author of "The Anatomy of the Swipe" and distinguished Chief Payment Officer at Branch, on The Domain Podium podcast. Our dialogue delved into the intricate nuances of the Payment domain, honing in on key pain points within the US market and juxtaposing them with perspectives from India, UAE, and beyond.
