Perfios’ Recent Expansion Trials

This acquisition follows Perfios’ earlier purchase of Clari5, a company specialized in financial crime management, which further strengthens their financial sector portfolio while allowing them to broaden their influence in critical global markets such as the Middle East, North Africa (MENA), and Southeast Asia (SEA).

Emerging Trends in Debt Resolution

Recently, the former co-founders of Kissht, Karan Mehta and Sonali Jindal, introduced their new venture, Rezolv, a platform dedicated to debt resolution. They successfully raised $3.5 million in seed funding, spearheaded by 3one4 Capital. Rezolv seeks to simplify the debt collection process by centralising data and optimising workflows, employing AI analytics to improve recovery rates. The platform offers lenders enhanced decision-making capabilities through a unique strategy builder that develops micro strategies.

In India, several debt collection startups, such as Credgenics, Creditas, and Decentro, are innovatively transforming loan recovery processes using AI-driven automation, analytics-based tracking, and API-focused integrations. These platforms enable lenders to transition from traditional call-based collections to data-centric strategies, showcasing digital repayment solutions, automated legal workflows, and efficient borrower engagement tools.
