About OmnyWay

OmnyWay, originally founded as OmnyPay in 2014 by Amitaabh Malhotra, Ashok Narasimhan, and Praveen Mettem, operates within the digital commerce and fintech sectors, providing a platform designed to bridge the gap between physical and digital retail experiences. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The founding team brought together a wealth of experience; Malhotra previously held leadership roles at First Data and was involved with mobile payments, while Narasimhan had a background with companies like Sun Microsystems and VeriFone, and Mettem possessed deep engineering expertise from his time at Qualcomm.

The firm targets retailers, financial institutions, and consumer brands with its white-label platform. This platform integrates with a client's existing mobile applications and legacy backend systems. Its primary function is to create a unified and contextual commerce ecosystem. The business model is centered on a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering, enabling clients to deploy a branded digital channel without overhauling their current infrastructure. Revenue is likely generated through licensing fees for the platform and potentially transaction-based charges.

The core service allows consumers to use their mobile devices across various points of interaction, including in-store checkout, online shopping, and engagement with dynamic media. For shoppers, this translates into a seamless journey where they can receive personalized offers, manage loyalty programs, and complete payments through a single app. For retailers, the platform provides tools to understand customer behavior better and drive engagement, ultimately aiming to increase sales and foster loyalty. A key feature is the ability to facilitate a 'universal checkout' experience, allowing customers to pay for items from different retailers in a single, consolidated transaction.
