Deepak Nesarikar — Founder
My first venture Gruhaa started as an attempt to provide affordable housing to the underprivileged.The business model was validated and received immense support, strategic guidelines and seed funding from social incubators such as, 'Unltd India' and 'ISB-SAP jump-start accelerator'. We had to park it due to scalability issues, but the learnings made me realise the the gap in money lending and disbursement market for that particular section of the society. I realized the role technology can play in bridging the gap. Hence, decided to delve deeper to understand the nuances of FinTech. For almost 8 years, I have worked on building Loan Origination and Management software for Lentra AI and OLX Fintech. Big Banks and finance companies in India, LatAm, Indonesia and Turkey now use the products. In 2023, I decided to explore quantitative trading. 2024, formally started Yasho, a low-frequency Quant firm. Last 12 months I could generate >50% alpha. Along with Yasho, I am consulting NGOs for their process automation and product strategy.
