The fintech startup Slice announced the merger proposal in October 2023, and it received approval from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) along with necessary regulatory approvals. The merger was officially completed on October 27.
The newly formed entity is set to leverage advanced technology and digital solutions to improve financial inclusion and stimulate economic growth in the Northeast region, while also extending its reach across India.
