Anand Datta, Principal Nexus Venture Partners believes “There is a prominent gap in the market, particularly in the consumer finance space where most professionals are either misinformed or uninformed of the basics of their financial wellness. This stems from the lack of financial products which are customised to suit their needs and at the same time easy to access from a trusted platform. Jify’s founders have created this user-friendly fintech platform to cater to that very gap with practical solutions that eventually help convert borrowers into savers, in turn, strengthening their personal financial wellness.”

Earlier this year, Jify had raised funding in its seed round from Amica Financial Technologies, Accel, VCAPL, Qed Innovation Labs among others.
