The presentation concluded with Q&A session where the big guns of CASHe, the board of directors were on the stage to answer the queries.

After the session ended we bloggers thought to have a quick conversation with one of the esteemed customers of CASHe to know his/her experience with the company.
Mr. John joined us for the talk.
A series of questions were shot at him which he answered with quite positivity -:

Q. How was your experience with CASHe?
A. It was hassle free. Using the app is quite easy. You just have to upload 3 docs and
     bingo.

Q. How was the experience with Customer Care?
A. He chuckled and said I didn’t had to call Customer Care once also as everything is
     mentioned in the app itself.

Q. What’s the best thing about CASHe?
A. Well everything about CASHe is awesome so I don’t know which one to choose
      as the best one.

It was quite clear from the conversation how in just one year CASHe was successful in transiting from a startup to a renowned company.

Next we had a round of discussion with the Consulting Head of CASHe to know more about the future plans and the roadmap of the company.
He answered each of our questions with precision giving it a humorous touch.


The bar was open now and also the lunch was served.
Hard Rock Café never fails to impress me whether it is the ambiance, drinks or the food. After treating my taste buds to the sumptuous meal which nearly gave me a foodgasm it was time to head back home.

My Verdict
Being a young working professional myself I was really impressed by the concept of CASHe.
The main USPs of CASHe according to me are
1. Hassle free experience.
2. Instant personal loans on demand by just uploading some basic documents.
    The average time taken for a loan to disburse is just 8 minutes, so basically you
    get loans within minutes.
3. Industry’s first algorithm driven credit scoring platform.
4. User-friendly interface.

With customers trust, investor’s confidence and under the guidance of a robust higher management, CASHe is going to scale new heights and remain the number one player in the app only lending business in near future.
So if you are looking to apply for a loan online, you know where to head to.
