Hi Pratish / harshit,

This looks very interesting. Was curious about a few things:

a) If I understand correctly, you are introducing p2p lending, on the lines of the Lending Club (the pioneer?) & I2I funding (Indian P2P lending company). Am I on the right track?

b) What is the typical customer profile you guys are targeting (and who have actually used your service?)

I ask because I'm curious about how you are planning to bridge the language / awareness gap if you are targeting non-English readers / speakers.

Disclosure: I am a partner in a start-up (3 months old) that is targeting blue-collar workers. Among the areas we are focusing on is financial literacy (clients being banks, etc.) Our experience has been that English is a significant barrier to adoption & communication. Therefore, pretty much everything we are developing is multi-lingual from the start.

(We are also developing solutions for the textile & apparel industries, safety & security services (Govt. and otherwise, and healthcare / pharma) )
