A simple research into India’s lending system brings to light the prevalence of archaic and traditional assessment methods to judge creditworthiness of an individual. The current credit system, with its severe drawbacks, is keeping millions of loan seekers from getting their applications approved. What is worse: A large number of Indians are applying for loans to meet their emergency financial needs (whether it is student loans, home loans or medical loans). Shubh Loans, through its Android application, brings a new approach to credit score reports by helping the applicants understand their credit standing holistically and take better financial decisions!

Based out of Bangalore, Shubh Loans is a vernacular app that is helping a growing number of salaried employees (starting from 12K) in getting a loan of up to 3 Lacs with a long-term (up to 3 years) EMI tenure. The smart credit model deviates from the traditional model (where the individual’s repayment capacity is the sole criteria) and replaces it with the Shubh Loans credit model (which analyzes repayment capacity of and intention-to-pay by the individual). The traditional credit scoring method, which is wrapped with a thick veil of incomprehensibility, keeps 80% of India’s populace from getting loans on time. Shubh Loans aims to cut this clutter and educate the loan seekers about their credit score, that too in the vernacular language, thereby helping them approach the loan seeking process with confidence!

Shubh Loans recently raised 1.5 million Pre-Series – A funding from SRI Capital, Beenext and Pravega. Prior to this, the company raised an undisclosed amount of angel funding from Sanjai Vohra (former MD of JP Morgan), V. Bunty Bohra (Managing Director and India CEO of Goldman Sachs) and Peeyush Misra (Ex-Partner and MD at Goldman Sachs).

The popularity of Shubh Loans as the best upcoming mobile lending platform is showcased in its 50% month on month growth rate. Many business houses are already using Shubh Loans to get customized credit reports and loan processing support for their employees. Shubh Loans has tie-ups with 9 lending institutions in easing the personal loan process for end users. While the Shubh Loans Credit Report is helping the loan seekers understand their borrowing capacity and take corrective measures, the Personal Loan service is helping both unserved and underserved working professionals in getting their loan amounts without leaving the comfort of their home.

It is smart technology solutions like Shubh Loans which can make all the difference in a nation which is trying to bring its entire populace under the formal lending system. Shubh Loans wants to help the nation realize this goal and has set its sight at bringing more than 10 Lac people into the formal banking fold by 2020!

But Ori and Dani started to see a bigger problem, a more systemic problem that went beyond the scope of the professional services their e-commerce agency offered. The majority of the merchants they were working with were relying on ‘gut feel’ to make critical business decisions. In the era of big data, of making the most calculated decisions possible, e-commerce merchants were falling behind. So they started spending more and more time with our merchants to understand the nuances and like any good investigation, they started at the beginning.

The first task with a new customer was always the same – to take a very close look at their inventory, specifically the list of slow movers; the millions of dollars stuck in warehouses. Reviewing the list of items consistently produced the same results – the items either had a low demand level or were priced higher than the market price as a result of inaccurate purchasing decisions. So, how did the customer choose inventory that was in low demand and/or inaccurately priced? Gut. Feel. In some cases, the market price was examined but gaining the demand level was always a challenge and always a guess.

Ori and Dani knew a few niche solutions existed in the market to help merchants explore the demand level on specific marketplaces (eBay, Amazon, etc.) but didn’t provide an Omni channel perspective which meant performing manual analysis to understand every item in every market. There had to be a better way.

To ensure they were on the right path, Ori and Dani brought on three additional full-time employees to test their hypothesis that more informed purchasing decisions from the beginning would help merchants’ bottom line. The results were more than apparent – sellers generated greater margins, increased sales volume, reduced risks of overstock and decreased the turnaround time of their funds.

The final step was interviewing merchants to ensure they were building a product that was easy to use, easy to look at and easy to see the value in. They wanted it to be a solution that was built specifically with sellers in mind. They spent the next two years designing and developing a solution they genuinely believe will help e-commerce merchants do business better. That has been and always will be their primary goal.

The results of their efforts were Algopix, a comprehensive product research platform that provides the eCommerce community with the data needed to make the most informed business decisions possible. By providing actionable product insights automatically, Algopix helps eBay and Amazon sellers save time, increase sales and reduce risks.

Algopix offers immediate benefits to users including:

He always aspired for achieving a career that would give him creative freedom. He dreamt of becoming a fine artist, but also felt a strong urge for computer graphics and animation.

His life changed when he was offered a job by a well paying corporate company in computer graphics soon after completing his Masters in Visual Arts.

Moloy fell in love with the subject and started thinking, what can be done with computer graphics but he also realized that he was not the one who is going to take part in the rat race of corporate employment.

He regularly browsed the internet trends and aware of the advent of video. He noticed that businesses were looking forward to creating short videos to explain their product or services. Realizing the potential of that demand he quit his job in 2008 and launched his own company PixelGenio.com.

PixelGenio is all about creating amazing animated explainer videos for business concepts. They help businesses to explain their product or services to their customers in a very fun and interesting way…something, that people would like to engage to.

At the start, their biggest hurdle was that no one knew about them. They struggled about 3 years working on low budget freelance projects. His efforts enhanced the online presence of his website and enabled it to show up on Google searches. At present they have achieved a page rank of 2.

Moloy says:

At PixelGenio.com we prefer to keep it small so that we can focus on quality rather than on volume. I do not want PixelGenio to turn into corporate company with robots all around

We provide services to businesses all around the globe. With the advent of internet technologies like skype, gmail and FTP, we are able to maintain a very smooth communication with overseas clients.

With continuous improvement in online presence, they wish promote more reputed brands and can work towards creating amazing animated videos!

Imagine a movie that includes every day of the rest of your life.

Yes Everyday…! A new app for the iPhone.

Cesar Kuriyama – Creative human person and the app developer:

From 2011 to 2014, I’ve been recording 1 second every day, so I’ll never forget another day ever again. This project has had such a profoundly positive impact on my life, that I’ve passionately developed an App that will make it extraordinarily easy for anyone to do this too.

Reliving every single day of my life at age 30 in 6 minutes has provided me with a treasured perspective on life. It holds me accountable for making each day count.

When I turn 40, I’ll have a 1 hour compilation that encapsulates my 30s. If I live to see 80 years of age, I’ll have a 5-hour video that summarizes 50 years of my life.

Watch the above video of 1 second everyday.

Wow, if you just take the one moment every day to record something that signifies what the day has been like and be able to easily replay that, you can see the most meaningful moments of your past days.

But recently, the company have eyed a bigger slice of the pie, with a bid to build its audience base beyond savvy early adopters.

The campaign is based around a short film, ‘Welcome to Airbnb’, and this video campaign sets out to explain what Airbnb does, exactly, in the most charming way possible.

Now see their behind the scenes peek at the making of “Welcome to Airbnb” video. Hope you enjoy the ride.

To produce this video, they spent five weeks 30 people building an 85-square-meter train set, with more than 2,400 craftsmen-hours spent creating the landscape. Also the work used 20 square meters of plywood, 12 liters of glue and more than 160 sheets of polyboard.

“The whole idea behind is to portray the world as a smaller place. It includes places from Australia, and from other parts of the world,” an Airbnb person said.
