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. Iโm stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesnโt 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, Iโll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.
As for me, Iโll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.
Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.
While itโs 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 WhatsAppโs journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.
Onwards.

Worse - if the courier would have been something crucial or more valuable, I would have been stuck in limbo, helpless.
What should I do? This doesnโt even feel like an edge small enough to be left out.
To whosoever owning the courier product at @Uber_India@Uber@Uber_Support
Looks like you folks have missed out solving for some key edge cases. Let me share one.
Concerns:
1. There is no way I can cancel this now. It says you can end the ride but no option.
2. Canโt book another one since this is on.
3. No way to contact support while this ride is live. So, my app is useless till this ride ends.
