Historically this segment has failed as the TG is very risk averse. SM captured the sentiment of regular people with FD as a product and went to smaller banks with higher rates of interest - 11-12%. KYC happens on the platform within a matter of minutes rather than opening an account with the bank. 300 Cr AUM within the first 6 months. No education of the product required. Other platforms started with Bonds - needs a lot of education. They earn a commission from the bank - a small amount on the transaction. Not highly profitable with just FD - will upsell and add more products beyond. Bonds are on the way on the same platform. Series B is done but public announcement is pending. Can disclose to candidates.</b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-7d053325-7fff-695f-9dcc-3ff4f62769d7">- Role: Head of Growth/ Business - FD</b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-7d053325-7fff-695f-9dcc-3ff4f62769d7">- Team size: Some teams in place - junior folks will report to this person.</b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-7d053325-7fff-695f-9dcc-3ff4f62769d7">- Reporting: Saurabh</b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-7d053325-7fff-695f-9dcc-3ff4f62769d7">- CTC: 40-60L + ESOPs (don&#39;t disclose any amount)</b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-7d053325-7fff-695f-9dcc-3ff4f62769d7">- Location: Bangalore</b></p> <p dir="ltr"><b id="docs-internal-guid-7d053325-7fff-695f-9dcc-3ff4f62769d7">- Experience: 5-8 YoE.
