Customer Reviews
You people are just phenomenal
The work your doing is just phenomenal hope this podcasts will bring some new entrepreneurs in the market with experience by zero experience.
An imp question
Hey, there’s companies like Finverv (please do check out), that provide the whole infra , what does OCEN add? Also what incentivises the LSP to integrate this? They lose control over the credit offered and they actually like offering standard rates of standard amounts
Also lenders and LSPs don’t care about integrating with a player in every step of the process and would want a white label solution provider who offers everything. Given these do we still think OCEN will work ?
Hats off to Sahil and Siddharth
I have been listening to this podcast for quite sometime now and I want to call out the the quality of podcast is amazing and one of the best to understand what is happening in Indian business ecosystem.
