Daily Capsule | 3rd April 2022

Hello Readers,


In 2017, Bengaluru entrepreneurs Paddy Raghavan and Jags Raghavan were working with Cisco for one year after their cloud cost optimisation project — Compute.io  — was acquired by the multinational tech conglomerate.

Post-acquisition, they were making personal investments, researching various asset classes, reading about personal finance, and so on.

The entrepreneurs noticed many urban Indians were using credit to fund travel expenses, gadgets, and other big-ticket items, and in turn, paying high-interest rates.

In 2020, the entrepreneurs launched Multipl, a free fintech app to save, invest, and spend for big-ticket expenses and for long-term wealth creation.

Today, Multipl has signed up the likes of Yatra, Ather, Wakefit, Urban Ladder, Bounce, Vedantu, Tanishq, Croma, Kalyan Jewellers, and over 200 reward partners as part of its 'Plan Now, Pay Smart' thesis. Read more.
