Union Budget 2017 - Rajiv Raj, Co-Founder and Director - CreditVidya

"The Government's decision to enhance the digital payment infrastructure by providing incentives is a powerful move towards creating a Digital India. This will help deepen digital footprints of Indian consumers, which will in turn enable superior credit underwriting and profiling for millions of individuals who do not have access to credit at a reasonable rate, leading to greater financial inclusion.

We welcome the announcement of tax exemption for startups. This will benefit them significantly, and make the initial entrepreneurial journey much easier."
