The startup is targeting to launch its first product, a credit management platform and build a team with the incoming funds. It will also invest in technologies that will help it differentiate itself from other players present in this space. 

Cred was founded by Kunal Shah; by 2021, the company had onboarded over 5.9 million users and processed about 20% of all credit card bill payments in India. As of April 2021, Cred offered six different products – Cred RentPay, Cred Cash, Cred Pay, Cred Store, and Cred Travel Store, etc. However, on 20 August 2021, Cred also launched a Peer to Peer(P2P) lending feature known as Cred Mint that aims to monetise through its 7.5 million users.
