Who We Are

Innovators. Disruptors. Visionaries.

At Astra Tech, we embrace boldness and unconventional thinking to redefine the status quo.

Our belief in the transformative power of technology drives us to push boundaries and create opportunities that make a lasting impact. As the parent company of Botim, PayBy, Quantix, and Rizek, we deliver innovative, reliable products that enhance lives and promote inclusivity.

Established in 2022, Astra Tech has rapidly expanded its influence by strategically acquiring and developing key platforms such as botim connect, botim money for buisness, and botim finance.

These acquisitions have culminated in the creation of the world’s first Ultra App, Botim, which seamlessly integrates fintech, e-commerce, AI-powered tech solutions, and communication services into one intuitive and user-friendly experience.

This powerful combination allows users to manage their finances, shop, and stay connected—all within a single, cohesive platform.

With over 150 million users across 155 countries, Astra Tech is more than just a tech company—it is a movement committed to enhancing lives through innovation. As a visionary leader in tech development and investment, our mission is clear: to revolutionize technology solutions for consumers and businesses, harnessing the power of AI to elevate digital experiences to unprecedented heights globally.
