Shakun Sethi bio: TickleLife’s Founder & CEO, Shakun Sethi, is a 35-year-old who has been working within the high-risk business vertical of adult wellness for over 7 years now and realized that the sector was hugely underserved. It was in 2015 when Shakun first experienced an adult wellness store in the Netherlands while pursuing her executive diploma. She hails from an Indian Punjabi family, in Jammu (north of India) and had never seen an adult wellness store back in India, let alone been inside one. She taught herself about the business, asked questions to store owners, and realized that although adult wellness was a fast-growing vertical, it remained underserved mostly due to pre-conceived reputational perils. TickleLife is a young fintech startup, proud of its breakthrough efforts for the high-risk industry verticals within the three years of its existence. Their products and services are tailored, keeping in mind the nature of products or services of their B2B partners who come from adult entertainment, sexual wellness, online gaming, legal gambling, sports betting, and pharmaceutical e-commerce businesses (ethical CBD), among others. TickleLife’s latest, TickleCharge, is a payment solution stack developed in collaboration with banks, payment providers, and feedback from merchants who have been working for over 2 decades within the financial payment ecosystem of supporting high-risk businesses. With TickleCharge, high-risk businesses can accept payments in over 20 currencies, including bitcoins, at a very competitive transaction rate and keep their business ahead of the curve.
