What Krab does

A lending platform that enables truckers/trucking companies with no formal credit score to access loans from banks. Our platform creates a rich credit profile of a trucking company by pulling 200+ data points from varied sources via consent APIs and instantly offers loans from multiple banking partners in less than 60 seconds. The trucking company can also use the same product for order management, invoice generation, vendor payments, and collections.

Instant loans for trucking companies in India

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

We built a lending platform that lets trucking companies and truckers in India with no formal credit history get loans from banks instantly. Our platform pulls 200+ data points from multiple sources with consent-based APIs to build a credit profile in under 60 seconds and offers loan options quickly. The same product also helps trucking companies manage orders, generate invoices, handle vendor payments, and collect payments.

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

We live in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, and the company is based here.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Hyderabad is where we, the founders, live and where the trucking ecosystem and banks we work with are based, so it makes sense to run the company here.
