Manager Founder's Office

About WeRize

Founded in 2019 by Vishal Chopra and Himanshu Gupta, WeRize is building India's largest full

stack fintech platform for 500 million underserved middle-class customers who live in 5000+ small

towns of India. WeRize (Wortgage technologies pvt ltd) also owns RBI registered NBFC subsidiary

(Wortgage Finance pvt ltd).

This customer segment in small cities is not served by private sector banks, Insurers and Mutual

Fund companies due to vast geography as well as the low ticket-size/lifetime value and is

dependent on PSU/Govt. banks. PSU/Government banks rarely provide financial products beyond

basic savings accounts and these customers lack access to unsecured loans, MSME loans, credit

cards, affordable housing loans, loan against property, health/life insurance and investment

products. WeRize manufactures innovative unsecured consumer credit, mortgages, loan against

property, MSME loans, savings and insurance products designed for this customer base keeping

in mind their needs, requirements and purchasing power, with a view to add a layer of financial

security to their lives and enable access to credit.

While customers in these geographies use smartphones, they need proper guidance and support

when purchasing the right financial products for themselves. So, a pure digital model doesn't

work for this segment. WeRize has innovated on this front through its Finance ki online dukaan

(Social Shopify of Finance), a first of its kind social distribution tech platform in the financial

services space that educates and enables local financially literate freelancers across these small

towns to source business through online and offline channels, recommend the right financial

product(s) to customers as well as provide after sales support. These freelancers, who are located

in more than 5000+ towns and cities, earn as much as INR 30,000 a month from WeRize in

commissions.

Our social distribution platform supported by financially literate freelancers means an

exceptionally low cost of customer acquisition (CAC) and operations costs compared to both fully

digital and on-the-ground financial services providers. Digital conversions among this target

group are way lower when compared to upper income customers in metros and hence pure

digital CAC doesn't work for this segment. While companies like LIC and Fino Bank also rely on

freelancer distribution, they deploy local on-field teams/branches to manage freelancers in every

city. That results in very high CAC and operations costs for such companies. WeRize on the other

hand, has been able to acquire, train and manage thousands of freelancers in 5000+ cities only

through its tech platform and without any feet-on-street team of its own. This results in a highly

profitable business model for Werize.
