Yes, although with rising in technology, there are demands of more jobs, more money, the time of revolutionary era that is changing perceptions, what remained unchanged is the management of money. You never know when there will be the urgent need for money.

For those the knight in the shining armor, Kadki Finance is a firm that helps people through short-term financial crisis. It offers a platform that is simple, fast and reliable for short term loans. This Pune based startup launched in November 2015 by two saviors Purushottam Rameshwar Kadam (22) and Akshay Prakash Chavan (21).

From Where the Idea clicked

The duo was always helping out who needed money. Once during a medical emergency, they could not make it for one of their friends whose salary was one week far. He did not have enough credits for an emergency even when he earns 30,000 per month. So, they advised him for a local moneylender, who charged him at an interest rate of 10 percent per month. That was the time when the founders realized the criticality of money during urgent hours and then Kadki born. After a long effort of including lenders in the startups, they succeeded.

Purushottam says that the loan sanctions are lengthy procedures with a lot of paperwork. So the duo developed software to shorten the process in which the customer needs to fill necessary details and submit. The team will follow up with the phone call as soon as the request is received and the customer will get money within 24 hours.

Payday Loan

Payday Loan, a term known for what Kadki is following. It might be a new concept that is generating interest in India, but there are already such banks and startups in West providing short term loans. A report by the Center for Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for Financial Research in that territory also states that due to very low default rates, the payday lenders’ market seems to be attractive to investors as well.

Also, Blume Ventures and Tracxn Labs-backed Buddy offers short-term loans to the college student by monthly payment plans. Flipkart, Amazon, and Snapdeal are the major partners of the company.

The executive meets the customer within 24 hours for signing up the loan agreement. After that, it hardly takes 10 minutes to transfer money to the client’s bank account.
