The TAG Fintech ADVANCE award was presented at the Fintech South conference on August 28, and the 2024 Innovation Driven Company award was presented at the 2024 TAG Technology Awards on November 6.

“We are thrilled to be honored by TAG with these two awards,” noted Ravi Venkatesan, CEO of Cantaloupe, Inc. “Cantaloupe’s strong presence in the Atlanta community, coupled with our commitment of innovation, have been essential to our success. Most of the world’s payments are run through an Atlanta-based company and this statistic highlights the profound impact of technology on our lives and underscores the need for businesses to stay ahead of the curve. In fact, the move toward self-service retail with cashless and contactless payments has been at the forefront of our innovation.”

The TAG Fintech ADVANCE Award acknowledges U.S.-based fintech companies making significant strides in advancing financial services through innovation. The award criteria was open to mature companies with strong ties to Georgia and the ADVANCE Award recognizes those who have shown leadership in tech-driven solutions that are reshaping the industry. Cantaloupe’s cutting-edge technology and dedication to advancing the fintech landscape distinguished the company from other contenders.

The 2024 TAG Technology award for an Innovation Driven Company in the Enterprise category (for companies with over $50 million in revenue), honors companies across Georgia that have leveraged technological innovation to drive excellence and standout success across diverse industries.

“Receiving the TAG Technology Award is a meaningful recognition of our work in developing groundbreaking technologies that enhance the consumer experience,” noted Gaurav Singal, chief technology officer of Cantaloupe, Inc. “This award also showcases our dedication to empowering businesses with tools that not only drive efficiency but also enhance customer engagement.”
