#WATCH | Delhi: At the Republic TV Summit 2026, Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "Sridhar Vembu is seated here. When our entrepreneurs operate with a 'Nation First' spirit and set their goals while understanding the country's needs, institutions are built, and the nation prospers. What has Sridhar Vembu achieved? I recently visited VivaTech in France. There must have been around 1.5-2 lakh young people present. The French President and I were visiting various stalls to see the work done by these young innovators. We visited the Zoho stall. I was amazed and felt a sense of pride to see the crowd of European youth gathered there. They were eager to understand this new global phenomenon. Perhaps it hasn't been discussed as much in India as I witnessed in France..."

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.

A man was building his new house, costing around ₹45 lakh. He had already spent lakhs on construction, tiles, paint, doors, windows, and electrical work. As the electrician was finishing the MCB installation, an engineer asked, “Have you installed an RCCB?”

The man replied, “No, why would I need one?”

The engineer pointed out that the home's appliances alone—ACs, fridge, TV, washing machine, water purifier, microwave, fans, and lights—were worth about ₹2.57 lakh. “Isn't proper electrical protection equally important?” he asked.

When the man learned that a good 32A RCCB costs only ₹1,500–₹3,000, he realized it was a small investment compared to the value of his home and appliances.

The engineer explained that an RCCB provides shock protection by instantly disconnecting the power supply when leakage current is detected, making the electrical system safer.

The man immediately decided to install an RCCB. He understood that while tiles, paint, furniture, and appliances are important, small safety devices can play a crucial role for years.

So, check your home's electrical panel—does it have an RCCB installed, or only an MCB?

Ishu Pal Singh, a passionate marathon runner and trekker from Bengaluru, is currently battling for his life after a tragic road accident that resulted in a severe traumatic brain injury.

His family is doing everything possible to ensure he receives the best medical care, but the treatment and recovery involves significant financial challenges.

I appeal to all those who can to extend their support, however small, that can make a meaningful difference.

As a fellow runner, I thought it is my responsibility to request your support, so please pitch in.

Praying for Ishu’s speedy recovery and strength to his family during this difficult time.
