OUR STORY
A second thought for money decisions.
BarterX Tech started from a simple question: why does nobody tell you what you can safely do with your money? We're building the answer — Surelee, a financial cognition layer. AI-powered. India-first.
THE FOUNDER
Here's why this company exists.
India's real-time payments are world-class — and they solved the movement of money. We're solving the meaning of it.
The real problem isn't how you pay — it's that nothing tells you what you can safely do with what you have. Not a bank. Not an app. Not a financial advisor you can't afford. Nobody answers the question: “am I actually okay?”
That's not a feature gap. It's a cognition gap. India built the payment pipes. But nobody built the understanding layer that should sit on top.
That's what BarterX is building. Surelee — a financial cognition layer that interprets your money and gives you confidence, not just charts. Not another budgeting app. Not another dashboard. The thinking layer between you and your next financial decision.
Nitin Khanna
Founder & CEO, BarterX Tech
Started BarterX because he watched an entire generation of Indian professionals stress about money — not for lack of earning, but because nothing ever told them what they could safely do with it. So he built a company to fix the gap between earning money and understanding it.

THE VISION
Three stages. One cognition layer.
Stage I: Awareness
The Truly Yours number — understanding what's really yours after all committed expenses. The atomic insight. The one number that changes how you think about every financial decision. This is where cognition begins.
Stage II: Intelligence
Predictive insights, spending patterns, financial pressure points. Understanding not just what happened, but what's about to happen — and what it means for your life right now.
Stage III: Autonomy
Tools that act on your behalf with your context. Financial decisions that handle themselves because the system knows what you need before you have to ask.
THE NAME
Why BarterX?
Barter is the oldest form of exchange in human history. Before currencies, before banks, before UPI — there was one person giving another person something of value in return for something they needed.
The X is what comes next.
BarterX: where the oldest idea in finance meets the newest tools.
