The Lending Business That Never Charges Interest or Late Fees | Nalin Agrawal (SnapMint)
Founder Thesis · 2026-02-26 · 1h 36m
Episode notes
Nalin Agrawal, Co-founder of SnapMint, is a three-time entrepreneur and IIT Bombay alumnus who has quietly built one of India's most efficient consumer financing platforms, scaling from a tiny ₹5 crore revenue to ₹350 crores while serving 7 million monthly users across 23,000 pin codes. In this candid, wide-ranging conversation with host Akshay Datt, Nalin reveals the contrarian principles behind SnapMint's success: why they have never charged a single rupee in late fees, how their data science moat achieves industry-beating credit loss rates, and why they believe India will leapfrog credit cards entirely and go straight to EMI on UPI.
