It all started in 2015 when Priya Sharma, Lizzie Chapman & Ashish Anantharaman were working with a UK based Finance company, Wonga. While working in the Fintech space they realised the evolution taking place across the globe and how technology was establishing itself to be the problem solver in the process of easy lending and improving the lives of the consumers. Observing the booming era of digitalization, increased level of mobile penetration and the transition taking place from offline to online, they felt that the banking system of the country was not keeping up with the change of pace the customers demanded and still dependant on 'Paperwork'. Moreover, the credit lending procedure lags in a proper mechanism, be it for small or large amount. Thus, with a vow to bring in a revolutionary change in the Fintech space they decided to return back to India and start

ZestMoney. “There was a clear need for the credit facility for consumers mostly for occasional purchases for consumer durables, electronics, furniture etc. Also foreseeing the friction in online transaction due to lack of instant credit we decided to leverage our experience & technology,” speaks Priya Sharma, Co-Founder & CFO, ZestMoney.

With a team of 60 + employees and serving PAN India, ZestMoney currently has 200,000 customers with a growth rate of 10x within a short span of 18 months
