The micro-lending product is named CreditBee since the service has been launched in partnership with <keyword id="3538270" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="KrazyBee">KrazyBee</keyword>. The company has yet to make an official announcement, but a source speaking to <a href="https://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/internet/xiaomi-launches-its-first-lending-product-in-india/64282329">ETtech</a> claimed that the platform is already live and the company will officially unveil it in the coming weeks. Microloans are essentially loans of small value issued at a low rate of interest. Over the past couple of years, it’s become quite an attractive <a href="https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/personal-finance/7-emerging-lending-options-you-should-explore-to-raise-funds-2566149.html">alternative</a> for under-represented groups or start-ups, who don’t necessarily require a huge loan. On CreditBee, consumers will be able to avail loans <a href="https://inc42.com/buzz/xiaomi-launches-lending-product-creditbee-with-krazybee/">starting</a> from ₹1,000 to ₹100,000. The term of the loans is 90 days, at an interest rate of 3 percent. Their target audience is salaried professionals who need short-term, small amount loans. KrazyBee, Xiaomi’s partner for this venture, is amongst the companies Xiaomi invested in. It was only last year that they <a href="https://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/startups/krazybee-raises-8-million-from-xiaomi-tech-and-others/61111187">led</a> an $8 million round for the company, which is based out of Bengaluru. And now, Xiaomi may even be <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/small-biz/startups/newsbuzz/xiaomi-is-in-advanced-talks-to-pick-up-stake-in-zestmoney/articleshow/63675367.cms">looking</a> into making a second investment in the fintech industry with <keyword id="6414960" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ZestMoney">ZestMoney</keyword>. ZestMoney is the company that fuels EMI-loans on Mi.com at the moment. Reports <a href="https://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/mobile/xiaomi-is-in-advanced-talks-to-pick-up-stake-in-zestmoney/63675487">indicate</a> that the former is looking to raise around $20 million through Xiaomi and its existing investors, like PayU. It’s not surprising that Xiaomi is looking at the fintech industry. The company already has a few lending platforms back home in China. Also, it had <a href="https://www.techradar.com/news/xiaomi-plans-to-launch-6-new-smartphones-expand-its-non-smartphone-portfolio-in-2018">indicated</a> earlier that it would like to expand its business beyond the smartphone arena and build a non-smartphone portfolio. With the country’s demographic dividend hitting its peak, more and more products are being targeted towards salaried individuals. Experts <a href="https://www.financialexpress.com/economy/economic-boom-in-india-coming-soon-massive-number-of-consumers-eligible-for-credit-heres-what-it-means/1175548/">speculate</a> that there are nearly 150 million consumers who aren’t 'credit active' right now but are eligible to turn into retail credit borrowers. Their analysis suggests that tapping into that potential could result in big growth opportunities for companies in the lending industry, which in turn will provide a boost to the economy. That being said, India has <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/the-10-countries-where-people-save-the-most-money">historically</a> been a savings oriented nation, though that trend has been slowly been <a href="http://www.ey.com/Publication/vwLUAssets/ey-the-battle-for-the-indian-consumer/$File/ey-the-battle-for-the-indian-consumer.pdf">reversing</a> since the dawn of liberalisation and privatisation in 1992. With the fintech software market set to <a href="http://www.nasscom.in/knowledge-center/publications/fintech-india-global-growth-story">double</a> to $2.4 billion by 2020 from the current $1.2 billion, the transformation will only gain momentum. Currently, India is the biggest market for Xiaomi, second only to China. The company’s Indian operations even <a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/hardware/xiaomi-turns-profitable-in-third-year-in-india/articleshow/61954734.cms">started</a> turning a profit in FY 2017, which marked Xiaomi’s third year in the country with sales of around ₹8,379 crore.

After conquering the smartphone space, Xiaomi now wants to enter India’s fintech industry

The <keyword id="22639470" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Adani-One-app" source="keywords">Adani One app</keyword>, developed by <keyword id="19898586" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="adani" source="keywords">Adani</keyword> Digital Labs Ltd, was launched in December 2022. The app was primarily launched to provide services for <keyword id="19955648" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Adani-Group" source="keywords">Adani Group</keyword>’s airport vertical. Users can book flights, check the status of their flights, go shopping for duty-free products and more. Since then, the app has come a long way. For instance, the Adani One app has already integrated bill payment services and also launched a co-branded credit card in collaboration with ICICI Bank. And now, reports are that the <keyword id="20028332" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="super-app" source="keywords">super app</keyword> is working to offer loans through its platform. This will be made possible by partnering with digital lending firms and non-banking financial companies (<keyword id="19938300" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="NBFCs" source="keywords">NBFCs</keyword>). <h2>Adani One app to provide personal loans?</h2>According to a report in Moneycontrol, the Adani One app will start to offer personal loans through pilot projects in collaboration with digital lending firms and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). The app has partnered with KrazyBee Services, a subsidiary of KreditBee, to facilitate personal loans ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 5 lakh. Adani Digital Labs will act as a lending service provider (LSP) in this partnership. As of the latest report, Adani One achieved a gross merchandise value (GMV) of Rs 750 crore for the financial year ending March 2024 and has a user base of 30 million. The company aims to reach 500 million users by 2030. Adding more services to its super app, therefore, seems to be a step in this direction. The Moneycontrol report also adds that Adani One is also in discussions with other NBFCs and fintech companies to broaden its credit product offerings. The exact commission rates for loans will vary based on agreements with partners. This move is part of Adani Group's broader strategy to enhance its super app, which now includes a range of services beyond its original focus. <h2>What is a Super app?</h2>A Super app often acts as a one-stop solution for various needs. For instance, an app that allows you to buy movie tickets, book flight tickets, make payments etc will be called a super-app. Apart from Adani One, there are various other super apps like Tata Neu, and <keyword id="19957624" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="myjio" source="keywords">MyJio</keyword>. Interestingly, KreditBee, which Adani group is reportedly partnering with, is also a lending partner for Tata Neu.

You must be aware of Paytm Postpaid, Ola Money Postpaid, Amazon Pay Later, Flipkart PayLater and several others. To help you understand the steep charges by online platforms that have Buy Now, Pay Later scheme here is an example. Suppose you took a cab ride of ₹1,500 on Ola and paid through Ola Money Postpaid. Later if you forget to pay the amount in the next 15 days then you will be charged ₹100 the other day. Also, this amount will keep on increasing every cycle if you miss future deadlines. During the last couple of years and also because of covid infused financial stress, BNPL schemes have become very popular among young who are new to the credit space. Macquarie expects the total amount of loans disbursed through such schemes to be anywhere between $45 billion and $50 billion by March 2026. The current market is still very small ⁠— about 0.7% of all bank loans and about 2.07% of loans given by the non-banking financial companies, <a href="https://rbidocs.rbi.org.in/rdocs//PublicationReport/Pdfs/DIGITALLENDINGF6A90CA76A9B4B3E84AA0EBD24B307F1.PDF">according to the latest data provided by the Reserve Bank of India</a>. <div type="image" title="loan disbursal" height="900" width="1200" msid="87798372" hostid="261"></div> While these schemes do serve the purpose of buying products on time and paying later, one should be aware about the high cost in late payments.

These steep late fee charges indicate significant revenue for the company, said analysts at global brokerage firm Macquarie Research. What should you do? Educate yourself about the interest charges including processing fee, which you would be paying before you make your purchase via the BNPL option, on the total amount before buying a product through BNPL. It is best to use the BNPL option when you are sure of paying the entire due amount before the due date.

Bansal’s firm BACQ has invested venture debt worth ₹200 million into Milkbasket – a grocery delivery startup. Bansal, through BACQ, had earlier made an investment in digital lending platform Krazybee and a personal investment in Ola technologies. Venture debt is a type of debt financing given to early stage companies. "Milkbasket is now working on the next set of innovations to further consolidate its market leader position across it’s fresh (fruit &amp; vegetables) offering, automating the daily delivery supply chain and reducing go to market time for multi-city expansion. These funds would provide us the needed CAPEX and R&amp;D investments in all the three domains.” Anant Goel, co-founder and CEO, Milkbasket added.

With the acquisition, the founders of the Noida-based Veggie India Jainendra Upadhyay and Shailendra Upadhyay as well as all of their employees had joined Milkbasket. The Gurugram-based startup Milkbasket had earlier raised about $16 million from Mayfield Advisors, Beenext, Kalaari Capital, Unilever Ventures, Lenovo and Blume Ventures at a <a href="https://www.vccircle.com/mayfield-leads-milkbasket-s-extended-series-a-round/">reported</a> valuation of $30 million. According to CRISIL, the online retail market in India is expected to grow 250% to touch ₹1.8 trillion by 2020 fiscal. The Indian grocery market has become a hot sector with bigwigs joining in the race. Milkbasket, which earlier focussed on delivery of milk and dairy products, had expanded its business to begin grocery delivery. Foodtech unicorn Swiggy too had announced its entry in the segment with Swiggy stores. One of the leaders in the space, Bigbasket had joined the unicorn club in March 2019 with a $2.3 billion valuation.
