🚨 META has invested $900 million in CRED.

CRED CEO Kunal shah steps down and becomes WhatsApp’s global head.

[Kunal Shah @kunalb11]

It’s been a minute.

2015–2018
- Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing.
- Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital.
- Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time.

2019–2025
- Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft.
- Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour.
- Built several products during COVID lockdowns.
- Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks.
- Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting.
- Received a full stack of regulatory licences.
- Lost 35 kilos.
- Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards.
2026
- First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is)
- Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital.
- Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback.

Today

CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role.

Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction.

Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.

As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.

Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.

While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.

Onwards.

ಅವತ್ತಿಗೂ ಇವತ್ತಿಗೂ ಅಂಥ ಏನೂ ಬದಲಾವಣೆ ಇಲ್ಲಾ. ಇವತ್ತೂ ಸಹ ರೋಲ್ಕಾಲ್ ಮಾಡೋರು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಲ್ಲಿ ತುಂಬಾ ಇದಾರೆ. ಅವರನ್ನ ಬೆಂಬಲಿಸೋ ಜನ ಟ್ವಿಟ್ಟರ್ ಅಲ್ಲಿ ಸಿಗ್ತಾರೆ

ಕನ್ನಡ ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ, ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಗಂಧ ಗಾಳಿ ಬರದೇ ಇರೋರೆಲ್ಲಾ ಭಾಷಾ ಪಂಡಿತರಾಗಿದ್ದಾರೆ

After arriving at Delhi Airport at 1:15 PM today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi chose to wait at the airport instead of heading directly to his residence.

With the NEET examination was scheduled to begin at 2 PM, he delayed his departure to ensure students faced no inconvenience in reaching their examination centres and that traffic movement remained smooth: Sources

@INCKarnataka should’ve postponed today’s event! Feel sad for these students; literally there were no bus , rapido, ola, Uber to that route from afternoon. Very sad !
