Vroon Modgill

Vroon Modgill is the founder and CEO of Sokin, the London-based global business payments platform he established in 2019. Born and raised in the United Kingdom as the son of first-generation Indian immigrants, Modgill’s vision for Sokin was shaped directly by his father’s experience navigating the expense and complexity of sending money back to India through traditional remittance services — an experience he witnessed repeatedly and that left a lasting impression about who the financial system was and was not designed to serve.

Before founding Sokin, Modgill built a career spanning accounting, financial control, and senior finance leadership across multiple industries. He trained as an accountant at Menzies LLP, moved into financial controller roles at JB Drax Honore, served as Senior Financial Controller at BLME (Bank of London and The Middle East), and became Finance Director at Borro, the asset-backed lending platform. He then served as North America CEO and Global CFO at a cryptocurrency payments company from 2017 to 2019, gaining direct experience in digital currency infrastructure before founding Sokin.

Sokin’s founding model was built around a subscription-based approach to global payments — a fixed monthly fee for unlimited international transfers, rather than the per-transaction fees and opaque exchange rate spreads that characterise most legacy money transfer services. The company spent 2020 building out its global infrastructure, acquiring the banking partnerships, licences, and currency corridors needed to operate at scale across multiple jurisdictions. By 2025 it held regulatory licences in the UK, Europe, the US, Canada, Australia, and India, supported transfers in over 70 currencies, and had grown revenues 100% year on year with eightfold growth since 2022.

In January 2026, Sokin secured a £70 million long-term debt facility from Oxford Finance, following a £38 million Series B led by Prysm Capital the previous month. The company has also secured significant sports partnerships — including with Manchester United and Everton — as part of its brand expansion strategy. Modgill has consistently framed Sokin’s mission in terms of financial inclusion: giving migrant workers, international businesses, and underserved communities access to a payments infrastructure that does not penalise them for crossing borders.
