E120 - Building the Most Efficient Lending Business w/Oxyzo & OfBusiness' Ruchi Kalra

Indian Silicon Valley with Jivraj Singh Sachar

09-10-2022 • 55 mins

In this Episode, I (@Jivraj Singh Sachar) speak with Ruchi Kalra, CEO of Oxyzo and Co-Founder of OfBusiness.

Oxyzo is the FinTech lending business built on top of OfBusiness. It is now a unicorn, raising a large Series A and having been self-funded by OfBusiness Cash-Flow for the longest time. Ruchi was a partner at McKinsey before starting OfBusiness. She comes from a core financial services background and was tailor made to have built a business like Oxyzo.

I sit with her and chat about how they got here. We cover a bunch of aspects around the strong fundamentals at Oxyzo, the core insights, the culture and the seamless process that contributes to the efficient operational engine required to build a lending business. I thoroughly enjoyed this deep dive and I am sure all of you listening will have a great time. But before we get started, here is quick word about our sponsor:
