    India's fintech landscape is fierce. In 2023, CheQ made 12CR in revenue. How will they crack 20CR in the next 12 months? This team solved it for them 👇 A daunting challenge 🏔️ From being the bottom-most team during the capstone to presenting to the leadership team at Cheq. This GrowthX® capstone team was tasked with a daunting challenge: take Cheq's revenue from ₹12R to ₹20CR in 12 months. A massive outcome 🚀 Cheq's leadership team hosted the capstone team at their Bangalore HQ. "The consumer feedback, the insight on anxiety, the insight on how trust is built was exceptionally well-articulated," said Aditya Soni (Founder, Cheq). "I loved that at no point did they say that YOU guys could do it. It was always a WE conversation."

    I vividly recall the groundbreaking moment in 2014 when the first Smartphone flash sale at Flipkart went live (possibly for a Motorola phone). None of us knew what to expect, we had a print ad, online campaigns etc and we were amazed to see products flying even before 8 am. For most consumers, much before newspaper even reached them we were out of stock. That moment created an all new industry !! Fast forward a decade, mobile flash sales have evolved significantly since then. Today, CheQ partnered with Flipkart and Nothing to give an exclusive Rs. 500 extra discount voucher (over and above all other offers) on CMF by Nothing Phone 1 for their first sale! Like a decade before, I had no idea on what to expect. In no time, we started trending in India (crazy!) and we saw 5X traffic on our app between 12 noon to 1 pm, also some crazy number of downloads. We had thousands of vouchers and they were redeemed (you only needed 125 CheQ Chips to redeem the Rs. 500 voucher) in less than 3 min - and we are not even a commerce platform ! We are thrilled with the results and express gratitude to our partners for their trust in us. Despite being the new kid on the block, we are determined to continue delivering exceptional value to our consumers and partners Super proud of the CheQ Marketing and rewards team to make this happen!

    Over the last few months, devaluation on credit card rewards program and gimmicky rewards by CC bill payment platforms have been making a lot of news. CheQ doesn’t claim to be the biggest reward program in India, but if you want a rewards program that truly delivers on what it promises, CheQ is the one for you. The three pillars on which it is built is Consistency , Transparency and Tangibility 1. Consistency Every time a bill payment is made, you earn 1% as CheQ Chips. So if you pay a bill of ₹30,000, you earn 300 CheQ Chips. Every single CC bill payment you make brings you value in the form of Chips, regardless of the amount you paid. Do note: a. These Chips have an expiry date of 12 months from the day of issuance.  b. In a month, you can earn up to 4000 CheQ Chips. In short, you earn 1% back till your payment of ₹400,000. 2. Tangibility CheQ Chips are designed to give you real rewards. If you aren’t one for vouchers, that’s fine. You can use your Chips to pay your bills instead. Which means that if you have a 1000 Chips, you can convert them into ₹100 to pay your bills. Basically, 10 CheQ Chips = ₹1. Do note: Converting CheQ Chips to cash is capped at 1000 chips or Rs. 100 per month. 3. Transparency While there have been a couple of changes in 2023 when we were setting the company — our Chips and their values have remained consistent since January 2024. And so have the gains our customers made from them. How? We’ve been particular about spelling out the entire details to the customer instead of burying them within an obscure T&C link. No reading between the lines, no catch that one isn’t aware of. From detailing out the value of Chips requirement to redeem across different brands, to letting you see what the entire process is, we’ve made sure that our customers see what they’re  getting themselves into. No gimmicks whatsoever. We hate them as much as you do. This ensures that YOU hold the power to use your Chips as per YOUR preference and convenience. The end goal remains the same — CheQ Chips don’t become an arbitrary element that keeps piling up in your profile without any tangible value. This has translated into ₹100Cr earned in Rewards by our existing customers in the past 6 months. While we’re still trying to become India’s biggest reward program on bill payments, we promise only what we truly believe we can deliver. And strive endlessly to deliver that. And that’s how we ensure that you keep your faith in CheQ :) #Creditcard #ccbillpayment #rewards #rewardsprogram #bestrewards #CheQ #fintech

    I met Ram Shriram (https://lnkd.in/gBrEAGhD) last month in his office and what stuck immediately with me was his humility, clarity and exceptional sharpness. Anyone who has been part of the tech world for long enough knows that Ram is an absolute legend of the industry. He was the founding board member of Google and worked with Larry Page and Sergey Brin. He also worked closely with Jeff Bezos during his stint in Amazon. My idea of meeting him, which was an absolute pleasure, was more about me lapping on the opportunity to meet him and tell him what I was building at CheQ and the possibility of him giving us some inputs which I could cherish and help us with Networking. During the last few minutes, he asked me if I would be open for an investment from his side (not committing but checking), given our round was already closed. While I acted stoic, I was jumping inside. I ofcourse said Yes! We then met a few days later again. This time around, I saw a completely different side of Ram. He was absolutely thorough with what we were building, our current metrics, future plan etc (all that is in the deck) but more importantly he had 5 hard questions which he needed answers to. I was amazed at the depth we could go in the conversation given he doesn't live in India for many years. I had one of my most favorite 60 minutes after that. He gave me his decision then, and I was elated to welcome him at CheQ. Yesterday I asked him if he would want to add anything on this post and this was his reply : "I am excited to partner with CheQ. When I first met Aditya, his passion for making credit more accessible and rewarding for everyday people in India was inspiring and compelling. In our conversations, Aditya and I delved deep into what sets CheQ apart from fintech giants. The company's focus on user experience and engagement by leveraging data creates a strong competitive edge.   Aditya is building CheQ with a powerful vision, emphasizing strong unit economics even in a tough market. What really stood out to me was the team's ability to scale and innovate quickly. Investing in CheQ feels right because it’s about more than just numbers; it’s about backing a vision that can truly transform consumer credit in India. CheQ is part of a new breed of Cos built on top of the India digital stack that leapfrogs access, availability and distribution of all things credit to consumers." Thank you Ram for trusting us. #fanboymoment In other news, we closed our extended seed round of 6.7Mn USD :) #fintech #fintechnews #funding #legend #creditmanagement
