Propelld is re-thinking education lending from the ground up. Education, even though one of the most talked of subjects

in the country, still suffers from a lack of financial access for the 80% of income population who don’t have the means

to qualify for loans from traditional Banks. Propelld, with its approach of accountable education lending by using future

income as the key metric, has emerged as the top-most lender in this space.

Propelld is building a sourcing engine within the fragmented education market with counsellor facing products that

enable counsellors/agents to convert sales quicker. At the other end, Propelld works with lending partners (NBFCs and

Banks) to build the lender layer with deep API integration for processing loans/disbursals/repayments. The underlying

digital application process, collections and alternate database credit underwriting models are some of the products that

With an untapped large potential of the education market not just in terms of increasing education spends but also with

respect to inefficient transactions of education enablers, low penetration and non-existence of fin products and the

opportunity of becoming the REAL first credit product for a Gen Z, Propelld is looking at building large value across the

If you are somebody who likes enjoying a tough challenge, is convinced of the huge impact of Education for the

country’s future and is looking at a high growth/high energy work environment, we are looking for you. As part of the

Tech team at an initial stage, you would be working directly with our CTO who has previously led the India team of 30-

CRED is an exclusive community for India’s most trustworthy and creditworthy individuals, where the members are rewarded for good financial behavior. CRED was born out of a need to bring back the focus on a long-lost virtue, one of trust, the idea is to create a community centered around this virtue. a community that constantly strives to become more virtuous in this regard till they finally scale their behavior to create a utopia where being trustworthy is the norm and not the exception.

To build a community like this requires a community of its own; a community special in its own way, working towards making this vision come true.  Here's a thought experiment: what do you get when you put a group of incredibly passionate and driven people and entrust them with the complete freedom to chase down their goals in a completely uninhibited manner? answer: you get something close to what we have at CRED; CRED just has it better.

Rupeek is India’s fastest growing asset-backed digital lending platform. Rupeek is on a mission to solve credit needs of households and small and medium businesses in India. More than 90% of Indians don’t have access to formal credit. Unsecured credit is expensive and has limited availability. On the contrary, 95% of Indian household net worth is in some form of assets. Rupeek’s technology led platform enables customers to get credit against their assets making credit accessible to the masses in a fair and convenient manner.

Rupeek started its journey with a focus on gold as an asset. Indian households have a unique relationship with gold holding over 25,000 tonnes. Only 5.5% of this gold is used to obtain formal credit due to friction involved in the process of getting credit and fear of losing gold. Rupeek solved this problem over the last 5 years by providing doorstep gold loans and transformed the way gold loans are disbursed in India. More than 1 lac customers who were earlier resistant to getting gold loans now use Rupeek’s digital platform to avail credit. Gold loan category alone is estimated to be at 20B USD in annual disbursement. This is just a start and Rupeek intends to launch many more financial products spanning across multiple asset classes in near future. 

Founded in 2015 by Sumit Maniyar, Rupeek is present in over 25 cities in India and has touched over 1,00,000 customers. Headquartered in Bangalore, Rupeek's investors include Sequoia Capital, Accel Partners, Bertelsmann and GGV Capital.

At WeRize, we are creating a new category in the Indian financial services space. We are building India’s first socially distributed full-stack fintech platform for middle-class families in tier 2-4 cities. The financial needs of small-city India have been largely underserved since traditional players, and even fintechs are unable to properly serve this segment. 

WeRize is a full-stack provider, both manufacturing and distributing a wide portfolio of customized credit, insurance, and savings products for 300Mn individuals spread across the 4000+ Tier 2 to Tier 4 towns. This $200 Billion market expects a very different product set as well as distribution model which traditional private banks, insurers, and mutual fund companies are unable to provide. The economics of these products as well as operating in small cities for traditional companies, is unfeasible due to their high-cost branch-based distribution model.  

Families in small towns require high-touch sales/after-sales service, which can only be profitably provided using a social distribution model. The entire Indian fintech ecosystem is geared towards building DIY apps that help customers choose the right financial products for themselves. However, this approach doesn’t work for small-town families as they need high-touch sales and after-sales. Additionally, due to lower ticket-size/conversions vs tier-1 city millennial customers, digital CAC unit economics don’t work, leading to fintechs staying away from this superb segment Using the “Social Shopify of Finance” platform, WeRize has enabled thousands of financially literate freelancers in 1000+ cities to sell its financial products in their social circle. This solves trust issues as well as provides high-touch sales/after-sales.  

Werize is the only Indian fintech platform/financial services player that has been able to distribute financial services through freelancers without any of its own feet-on-street/local branches. Our freelancers in 1000+ cities are managed only through Werize proprietary tech platform. This enables superb scalability and low CAC/ops cost=> highly profitable business model.
