VK Venture
Vinay Kedia and Vipul built VK Venture into a 30,000-retail-point fintech distribution network that turns Indian shops into banking and travel kiosks.
VK Venture
VK Venture Pvt. Ltd. was incorporated in 2011 as a Tours & Travels company and quickly pivoted to addressing the operational friction its founders observed among travel agents. The firm designed a B2B portal — now branded VKV CLICK — that operates on desktops, laptops, and mobile phones. VK Venture is headquartered in Navi Mumbai, with an additional branch office in Ahmedabad. Its two directors, Vinay Kedia and Vipul, lead operations-finance and sales-marketing respectively. Both hold Indian MBA degrees and brought prior banking-sector and e-commerce experience to the company. VK Venture aggregates financial, travel, and utility services into a single-wallet platform for micro-entrepreneurs. Its retail partners — called Agents, Distributors, or Super Distributors — can process domestic money remittance (DMT), Aadhaar-enabled payment system (AEPS) cash withdrawals, mobile and DTH recharges, rail-air-bus bookings, and utility bill collections from one balance. The firm also acts as an authorized IRCTC rail-ticketing partner and has been authorized by State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda to appoint Kiosk Banking outlets that offer account opening, deposits, withdrawals, and fund transfers. The model functions as a last-mile banking and travel infrastructure layer rather than a direct-to-consumer venture. VK Venture reports a nationwide footprint of over 30,000 business partners and describes itself as building “India’s largest network of independent business owners.” The firm operates across India from its Navi Mumbai headquarters. Its multi-tier distribution architecture — Agents, Distributors, and Super Distributors — allows real-time commission distribution and white-label branding for larger partners. The company has not disclosed professional headcount, assets under management, or institutional deployment figures. VK Venture’s structural differentiator is its authorizations from state-backed institutions — State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda — which convert small storefronts into regulated banking access points under a Kiosk Banking framework. This regulatory gateway separates the firm from generic B2B fintech portals that lack direct banking-service privileges.

Frequently asked questions

Is VK Venture a single family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
Neither. VK Venture is a B2B fintech and travel-services distribution company. It provides a multi-service portal (VKV CLICK) to over 30,000 retail agents across India, enabling them to offer banking, ticketing, recharge, and bill-payment services.

VK Venture is not an allocator. It does not make fund commitments or direct investments. Its revenue model derives from transaction-based commissions generated through its network of retail business partners using the VKV CLICK portal.
How is VK Venture related to State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda?
VK Venture is an authorized Kiosk Banking partner for both State Bank of India and Bank of Baroda. This allows its retail agents to open accounts, accept deposits, process withdrawals, and transfer funds — effectively functioning as mini bank branches under the partner banks’ regulatory umbrella.
