On Wednesday (Aug. 25), India’s largest working capital platform, CredAble, announced the appointment of Ranjit Singh as the FinTech’s executive vice president and head of credit.

Passionate about credit risk management and financial structuring, Singh brings to CredAble decades of experience spanning corporate banking, credit ratings, insurance and IT. In this role, he will look to leverage technology and data to develop a robust and agile credit risk management framework at the Mumbai-based supply chain financing FinTech.

Singh will also design “innovative and flexible credit models that are transactional in nature as opposed to the traditional balance sheet approach, thereby creating true impact for the underserved MSME sector,” Kewalramani added.

“During the pandemic, I have seen a sharp escalation in the financing needs for both big and small enterprises to survive. Businesses grow by leveraging current assets to raise working capital debt, but this oxygen is denied to SMEs, as traditional financing prefers the comfort zone of large balance sheets or fixed asset covers,” said Singh, who spent 13 years with Rabobank and Standard Chartered Bank prior to this new role.
