About WeRize

Founded in 2019 by Vishal Chopra and Himanshu Gupta, WeRize is building India’s largest full

stack financial services brand for 300 million underserved middle-class customers who live in

4000+ small towns of India. This customer segment is not served by private sector banks, Insurers

and Mutual Fund companies due to their low ticket-size and lifetime value and is dependent on

PSU/Govt. banks. PSU/Government banks rarely provide financial products beyond basic savings

accounts and these customers lack access to unsecured loans, credit cards, health and life

insurance and investment products. WeRize manufactures innovative Credit, Savings and Group

Insurance products designed for this customer base keeping in mind their needs, requirements

and purchasing power, with a view to add a layer of financial security to their lives and enable

access to credit.

While customers in these geographies use smartphones, they need proper guidance and support

when purchasing the right financial products for themselves. So, a pure digital model doesn’t

work for this segment. WeRize has innovated on this front through its ‘Finance ki online dukaan

(Social Shopify of Finance)’, a first of its kind social distribution tech platform in the financial

services space that educates and enables local financially literate freelancers across these small

towns to source business through online and offline channels, recommend the right financial

product(s) to customers as well as provide after sales support. These freelancers, who are located

in more than 1000+ towns and cities, earn as much as INR 30,000 a month from WeRize in

commissions.

Our social distribution platform supported by financially literate freelancers means exceptionally

low cost of customer acquisition (CAC) and operations costs compared to both fully digital and

on-the-ground financial services providers. Digital conversions among this target group are way

lower when compared to upper income customers in metros and hence pure digital CAC

doesn’t work for this segment. While companies like LIC and Fino Bank also rely on freelancer

distribution, they deploy local on-field teams/branches to manage freelancers in every city. That

results in very high CAC and operations costs for such companies. WeRize on the other hand, has

been able to acquire, train and manage thousands of freelancers in 1000+ cities only through its

tech platform and without any feet-on-street team of its own. This results in highly profitable

business model for Werize.
