Our journey unfolded as follows:Inception and Insight-Driven Pivot: Founded in 2016 as a consumer-facing technology-enabled lender, we learned that whilst most fintech lenders were focused on underwriting decisions, none had invested in the larger issue of collections, we shifted our focus from lending operations to pioneering collections as a technology and service partner to fintech lenders and later to banks.Holistic Business Model: Our product and service suite encompasses a web and mobile field agent platform, along with a robust network of collection suppliers and agents. Creditmate now serves both large and small lenders, offering either Software as a Service (SaaS) or full-service collection capabilities. Our APIs facilitate seamless data integration, ensuring security and regulatory compliance for institutional banking partners.Data and Machine Learning Driven Success: By December 2020, we had resolved over a million collection cases, leveraging extensive data points across telephony, messaging, and field activities. Crucially, our platform demonstrated superior collection efficacy compared to legacy methods, resulting in substantial savings by preventing bad debt write offs and optimising collection costs.Acquisition by Paytm: The handover, completed by the team and I by Mid 2021, just in time for Paytm’s landmark $20Bn IPO. The acquisition provided them with a critical product set to enable rapid scale of their primary revenue stream, lending. Show less

We built the business to scale with over a million downloads within 18 months.Our core capability was in providing a simple and intuitive front-end user experience by using technology to interpret large amounts of informal and disorganised data including thousands of changing telecoms tariffs, millions of end user usage and location data. For end users we provided a cost saving bespoke recommendation of a bundle of prepaid plans to save them money, the ability to transact on these plans, as well as a recommendation for the most optimal service provider based on signal quality and data speed in their home, work and travel locations. Because of our crowd sourced signal and spend data, we also enabled mobile operators with invaluable access to huge scale network and capacity planning data which they otherwise spent significant capital and time on achieving (by driving key areas in mobile enabled vans). The business was fully acquired in 2015 by India’s largest and most prolific Business group, Reliance, to help power the launch of their challenger Mobile Network Operator; Reliance Jio. Show less
