Rupeek is a pioneer in starting door-step financial services via Gold loans at Home, and has brought about a paradigm shift in the way financial services operate in India. Today Rupeek has grown leaps and bounds and serves more than 60 cities across 5000 locations, and is the reason people can access credit at a cheaper rate without any hassles, with full transparency, and within the comforts of their homes. I have been part of this tremendous journey from Day 0 and after having built the foundations of his business, have been part of the scaling journey. From setting up the core business by setting up Operations and Sales, and then leading various critical org-wide initiatives, these hands have done all and eyes have seen everything!Words won't do justice to define this journey, so I will take an analogy. My experience at Rupeek was like building a raft from scratch and making it afloat in a turbulent ocean to transforming that raft step by step into a mega-ship, which today has the might to face even the stormiest of oceans with great ease, for it's built to sail, it's built to endure, and it is built to last!
