of view, the final approval of the loan can be brought down to 1 minute. This
will enable higher acceptance in the market over the other players in fin-tech

Talking about the product, Krishnan Vishwanathan, CEO of Kissht
said, “We introduced this new feature to increase the footfalls in offline
stores and retail chains where customers’ intention to buy has always been
there but instant, convenient and affordable credit options were missing. After
introducing this feature, there has been 30% additional footfall in these
stores. We are in advanced talks with OEMs like Reliance Jio, VIVO, COMIO,
ezone, HomeTown & many more. We believe this innovation will add true value
and could help drive up sales by at least 30%.”
