What ClickPe does

Small shop owners earn daily unlike salaried people but when it comes to loan repayment both are asked to pay monthly. For these shop owners it is difficult to calculate how much to save daily so that they will have the required installment amount at the end of the month and also at the time of repayment they have a big hole in their working capital. Therefore, when you earn daily why not pay daily and get away from the stress of huge one-time installments. Every day a small amount of $X is deducted from your digital wallet which is on the auto-debit mandate and you don't need to worry about keeping your balance of $XXXX. You never default and also good credit scores are created.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built ClickPe, a platform that lets small shop owners repay loans daily instead of monthly. It deducts small amounts daily from their digital wallets with auto-debit, so they never have to worry about large monthly installments or working capital crunches. This matches how these shop owners earn and makes repayment manageable and builds their credit.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and operate in Surat, Gujarat, India, and the company will be based here after YC as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our core customers are small shop owners in India, and being in Surat lets us stay close to them and understand their daily cash flow challenges. We want to build the right product by being where the problem exists.
