India’s first full stack financial services platform for small city India
About us
WeRize is a profitable growth stage fintech. At WeRize, we are creating a new category in Indian financial services space. We are building India’s first socially distributed full stack fintech platform for emerging middle-class families in 5000+ small cities. The financial needs of small-city India have been largely underserved since traditional players and fintechs are unable to properly serve this segment * We have raised $25.75Mn equity ($115.5 Mn valuation) from British International Investment (UK's sovereign impact fund formally known as CDC), Sony Japan, 3one4 Capital, Picus and others * WeRize is a full-stack provider, both manufacturing and distributing a wide portfolio of customized mortgages, unsecured credit, insurance, and savings products for 300Mn individuals spread across the 5000+ small cities * Families in small cities require high touch sales/after-sales service which can only be profitably provided using a social distribution model. The entire fintech ecosystem is geared towards building DIY apps that help customers choose the right financial products for themselves. However, this approach doesn’t work for small-city families as they need high touch sales and after sales. Additionally, due to lower ticket-size/conversions vs tier-1 city customers, digital unit economics dont work, leading to fintechs staying away from this superb segment *Using the “Social Shopify of Finance” platform, WeRize has enabled 10K+ financially literate freelancers in 2500+ cities to sell its financial products in their social circle. This solves trust issue as well as provides high-touch service * Werize is the only Indian fintech platform/financial services player that has been able to distribute financial services through freelancers without any of its own FOS/local branches. Our freelancers in 2500+ cities are managed only through Werize proprietary tech platform. This enables superb scalability and low CAC/ops cost=> highly profitable business model.

We’re thrilled to celebrate this special achievement with you Deepak Chawla! Your dedication, perseverance, and passion continue to inspire us all—not just in the workplace, but beyond it.

From ICU to representing India in World Transplant Games Federation in Germany I wasn’t sure for a long time whether I should share this part of my life publicly. It’s deeply personal, and putting it out to the world isn’t easy. But some stories need to be told because they can give hope, inspire courage, and spread awareness about the gift of organ donation. In 2020, I was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease. In 2022, I was in the ICU for my transplant surgery, when my father at the age of 70 donated his kidney to me, giving me a second chance at life. Without him, none of this would have been possible. This August, I had the honor of representing team india at World Transplant Games 2025 in Dresden, Germany. The Games brought together 2,200 participants from 50+ countries transplant recipients, living donors, and donor families all united by one message to celebrate the gift of life. I was one of 57 athletes representing Team India, competing in the 5K road race, 400m, and 1500m track events. I may not have won a medal, but this journey was a victory in itself. Just three years after my kidney transplant, I cut 3 minutes off my personal best in the 5K, clocking 21 minutes, a breakthrough that took months of training, discipline, and self-belief. In the 400m, I missed the podium by just half a second, yet walked away with something greater: the confidence that I’m stronger, faster, and only just getting started. This journey wouldn’t have been possible without: 🙏 My father, my hero and donor 🙏My wife Pooja Drubra who has sacrificed her own running, taken on countless responsibilities, and stood as my strongest pillar through everything. 🙏My son and my mother; my joy, positivity, and constant care. 🙏My coach, Nirav Patel Patel; who believed in me even when I doubted myself, pushed me harder, and made me race-ready. 🙏Ganesh Gogi & my physio Dr. Mohammed Fayz (PT) from Kinesphere wellness; who guided me through injury recovery, believed in my comeback, and ensured I was in my best shape for the Games. 🙏Partners: Gabit (tracking), Fast&Up India (Hydration), furo.fit and ORGAN India (for managing the entire Team India contingent). 🙏WeRize , for giving me the time and space to prepare and participate. The Games were more than sport, they were about life itself. I met inspiring friends from across the globe, transplant athletes who excelled in their events yet carried such humility. They gave me hope, confidence, and motivation to keep improving and to participate again in future Games. I return home not with a medal, but with something far greater; gratitude and purpose. My mission ahead is clear: 💙 Continue training and competing 💙 Share my story to inspire those battling health challenges 💙 Spread awareness about organ donation, the gift that makes miracles possible #OrganDonation #WorldTransplantGames #SecondLife #Gratitude

Welcome to the team Akshay Singhal!
#hiring #Werize I have recently joined the high momentum profitable NBFC WeRize. If you are a high-ownership problem solver, hands-on builder with thinker mindset who can get stuff done with fundamentals, come help us build the biggest financial services for people in tier3/4 who are still untouched by so-called saturated lending industry. The lowest segment of the pyramid who are above BPL line, consistent income, digitally active, non-cash income still do not get financially included in the formal ecosystem. The best part is, they're not credit-starved, they have excess money too and they can be sold all FS products, from FDs and insurance, everything. They own houses for mortgage, want to own cars or travel or have ambitions to travel. All they need is the same ecosystem which their peers in tier1/2 city are already enjoying. In Data, we are hiring for: > Data Science and Analytics Leaders who don't just see problems, they innovate new ways to do business and build it hands-on grounds up with the right architecture. If you can't either code proficiently or work with business people closely, this role is not for you. > Early-mid level Data Scientists with experience in Lending analytics and related measurement tools; keen business sense, curiosity; proficiency in SQL and Python. Fluency with e2e ML lifecycle are mandatory. Interested folks can apply https://lnkd.in/gJsYYPE6. Or simply send your resumes to [email protected] Himanshu Gupta Vishal Chopra
