Flipkart’s interest in backing Super.money has a lot to do with the third wave of UPI. But Super.money is bringing a knife to this gunfight
The founder-CEO's insistence on having a workforce that is largely self-reliant is now impeding the fintech's growth
The Tata Group and the AV Birla Group are already trying to streamline operations with the Microsoft-backed AI tool. As a result, the cloud businesses of Amazon and Google are at risk of losing ground to the Redmond, US-headquartered company
Credit-card dues from ‘revolvers’—users who contribute the most to card issuers' profitability—have been falling. And there are early signs that they might never rise back to old levels
Though younger startups are set to gain from Tiger Global’s smaller cheques and early-stage bets in India, they are wary of working with the investment giant
Piramal Finance, one of India's largest non-banking lenders, is taking hits in its traditional business model and attempting a 180-degree flip, thanks to far smaller companies. But this is at a time when fintechs are facing an acute funding crunch.
The likes of CRED and MobiKwik want to lend to their customers when several fintechs have been unable to do so with NBFCs. And peer-to-peer lending marketplaces, struggling to scale, are now keen to acquire customers at low costs
For every 1000 engineering graduates, India produces 1 designer. And India’s competitive startup ecosystem is desperately in want of trained UI/UX designers. Suddenly, it’s a product designer’s market
Still just a few years old, the likes of Even, Vital, and Kenko believe the answer to India's lack of insurance penetration is subscriptions. By offering bite-sized monthly plans, coupling the usual insurance coverage with a host of allied services, they're fast hoovering up users. Doing more while charging less, though, doesn't make for a sustainable business
A number of marketplaces for niche products have grown rapidly, thanks to direct-to-consumer brands looking to expand their horizons. In a crowded e-comm ecosystem, these marketplaces offer more visibility, but they’re also limited by their size. But scaling also means they may end up just like Amazon and Flipkart
The playbook behind Tiger Global’s recent spate of investments is both familiar and different from its initial foray in India when it backed now-iconic companies such as Flipkart and Freshworks. But where it pioneered a change in India's VC landscape last time, it is evoking fear, panic and greed in the startup ecosystem this time around.
With credit card payments startup CRED verging on a US$2 billion valuation, investors are banking on the business growing to at least 5X that. Can CRED get there? The answer may have more to do with VC calculus than its current business metrics
Why is a company that targets the 25 million richest Indians choosing arguably the massiest channel available in India to market itself? It’s all about the math
From the Freecharge exit to the CRED vision, CEO and founder Kunal Shah talks about his journey in a freewheeling interview. For the first time ever, Shah answers and explains burning questions about CRED’s business model and funding imperatives
CRED’s business model of reward points for restaurant discounts and travel vouchers won’t work in a post-pandemic world. Baby steps aren’t enough. It will need more a meaningful strategy to not let customers drift away
Kunal Shah of CRED has successfully leveraged his credibility to raise $120 million in funding given the state of his business. The company now faces a conundrum on how and where to deploy this capital
Venture capitalists often let their investments do the talking. And talk they do. From $100-million Series A rounds to $500+ million funding rounds, India has had enough and more investor interest and shifting investment patterns of late. We decided to map that interest with data from the last three years
After catering to youngsters looking to save a buck at FreeCharge, Kunal Shah is targeting the top of the pyramid with CRED. But will chasing the money card lead to a pot of gold or a lump of pyrite?
