Gary Bhattacharjee

Gary Bhattacharjee is a British-Indian fintech executive and co-founder of Traydstream, the London-based AI platform that automates trade finance document processing for global banks. His background spans senior operations and technology roles at major financial institutions, including experience in trade finance processing at global banks, which gave him first-hand exposure to the enormous manual labour burden that underpins letters of credit, bills of lading, and the broader documentary trade finance workflow.

Alongside fellow banking veterans Achille D’Antoni, Uzair Bawany, and Amrish Sehgal, Bhattacharjee co-founded Traydstream in 2015 to apply machine learning and natural language processing to a market that had been largely untouched by automation. Trade finance remains one of the most document-intensive processes in global banking, with experienced specialists spending four to ten hours checking each transaction against thousands of rules, sanctions lists, and compliance requirements. Traydstream’s platform compresses this to under three minutes for compliant transactions.

The company has established integrations with major trade finance software providers, including a partnership with Surecomp, and a collaboration with Citi for automated trade document processing. Its client base spans major global banks across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, and the platform’s compliance rule library reflects the depth of institutional knowledge its founding team brought from their banking careers.

Traydstream raised €9.3 million in August 2025, led by Pivot Investment Partners and e& (Emirates Telecommunications Group), to accelerate global expansion and advance its machine learning capabilities. The strategic participation of e& signals growing appetite from Gulf and African markets where trade finance digitisation is accelerating alongside rapid growth in regional trade volumes.
