Founded by Akshay Mehra, an experienced consultant in new growth advisory, seed investing and start-ups for over 17 years, and Bikash Saha, former Chief Operating Officer of Standard Chartered Capital Korea, Crowd Genie is a licensed and fully operational P2P lending platform that is focussed on giving Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (“SMEs”) access to loans from individuals and companies instead of financial institutions, which require longer approval processes. It was granted a “Dealing in Securities” license by the MAS in March 2017 and is one of a limited number of P2P lenders in Singapore with this license. The platform has been operational for approximately 20 months. Crowd Genie has a track record of full repayments with no defaults since inception.
