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.
Who to look up to if the #SupremeCourtofIndia starts acting like BJP's party office.
First they divided hindu and muslim to get the majority hindu vote.
Now they are dividing dog lovers and haters for votebank. Guess who are more in number?!

🚨Dog burnt alive in Delhi
@MCD_Delhi@DelhiPolice Investigate And Arrest the culprits. Start investigation. Start acting like you start active campaign against Peaceful Protestors and how you beat them.
Now show such rage on animals murderers.
@VijayGoelBJP you must be happy watching this Cruelty on animals and daily animal murders!!?
@narendramodi If you don't take action against the leaders of your part who are trying to defame BJP government at international level and those leaders provoke citizens to kill animals and beat Animal caretakers.
@AmitShah Please do something for animals. At least you're the one who can enforce the law like you did in many such cases and instant action on animals Cruelty culprits.

Below are the Proof of dog's burned alive in entire India.
After hindu muslim divide and rule the new agenda for #BJP is dog lovers vs haters. There were no dog attack videos over the last decade, all dogs became violent over the last 1 month. Full of dog attack news from random media without sources. I hope people understands

Last week I was working late to accomplish my February goals, because it is my first month since promotion.
Now I'm up late because #Russia bombs my #Kyiv in #Ukraine.
That's our dog, in a bomb shelter. Fuck you Putin.
