Fin-tech start-up IndiaLends has launched India’s first Credit Score and Analytics app that allows consumers to check their Credit Score on their mobile phones instantly and for free.

Gaurav Chopra, co-founder, IndiaLends said

Credit awareness in India continues to be very low vis-a-vis countries like the United States. If you were to ask a consumer in the US what his credit score is, 10 out of 10 people would know it. In India, only a handful of consumers are aware of their credit score. As a result, unaware consumers who apply for loans are more likely to get their applications rejected or be charged higher interest rates and fees. Our app gives consumers the power to access their credit scores for free, and that too instantly. This enables them to make better decisions and negotiate affordable interest rates.

There are currently more than 230 million mobile internet users in India, most of whom are using their mobile phones for online shopping and financial transactions. However most consumers have limited knowledge about the importance of a healthy credit score and its different uses to fulfil their credit needs. With the IndiaLends App, consumers will find it simple and convenient to access and manage their credit on their mobile phones.

Gaurav Chopra, co-founder, IndiaLends added

We received an overwhelming response to our online Credit Score and Analytics product that was launched in December 2015 and got over 10,000 credit report applications within the first 45 days. With our app, we will now be able to expand the reach of our services to a larger audience.

Mayank Kachhwaha, co-founder, IndiaLends said

Besides credit awareness, the IndiaLends app has features to simplify the way consumers manage their personal finances. Our app offers consumers a suite of services such as the ability to track and manage multiple credit accounts including credit cards, home loans, car loans, gold loans,etc., get recommendations on how to improve their credit score, set EMI payment reminders, and get updates on the best loan or credit card deals. Consumers can also use the spend analysis feature on our app to manage their savings better. Having both their credit and expenditure information together, will enable consumers to achieve their financial goals more easily.

Mayank Kachhwaha was recently recognized by the Forbes India magazine as one of the ‘30 under 30’ people in India who are making a huge impact. IndiaLends, which raised its second round of funding in October 2015 from prominent investors such as DSG Consumer Partners, Siddharth Parekh and Gautam Radhakrishnan, amongst others, has plans to add more products and services to achieve their vision of making credit products more affordable to consumers in India. With the IndiaLends app and online platform, consumers have the opportunity to become aware of their credit worthiness and can work towards improving it in future.

Talking about this development, Deepak Shahdadpuri, Managing Director, DSG Consumer Partners said

This is the first consumer-facing mobile app from IndiaLends’ product roadmap. This is indicative of how the next generation of financial services companies will use technology,fragmented and un-organized data, analytics and data science to deliver a product that consumers can use to make real time decisions based on their current financial position.

We are excited to be working with the IndiaLends team to be part of the new generation of Indian businesses partnering with banks, NBFCs, insurance companies and other financial services companies, to deliver a more relevant product offering to the Indian millennial’s.

The IndiaLends App is currently available on the Android platform and can be downloaded from here. It will soon be launching on the iOS platform.

In today’s technological era there are few online options available wherein you can flex your mind muscles, get entertained, join a like-minded network, and also make some money 🙂 With summer sneaking in, many of us [including kids] prefer staying in-doors especially during the afternoon and that is the best time when family can relax with their kids!! Parents look for indoor games that not only provide wholesome entertainment, but also sharpen their kid’s thinking 🙂 One such game that falls in this category is the good old card game – Indian Rummy.

With shopping, ticket booking, mobile recharge etc. already having taken the online route, time had come for the awesome Rummy game also to go ‘Online’. One of the major advantages of Rummy is that it can be played with teens, and helps improve hand eye co-ordination, develop patience and concentration skills. Today, we review KhelPlay Rummy; an Indian rummy site that provides range of options for users to play Rummy both on the web as well as on mobile apps.

KhelPlay Rummy: Comprehensive Online Rummy options

KhelPlay Rummy offers online rummy games in the 13 & 21 cards category. In the 13 card games category, there are formats like Points Rummy, Deal Rummy and Pool Rummy about which we would elaborate later in the article.  For beginners too Rummy, KhelPlay Rummy provides a  How to Play Rummy video tutorial that walk you through the Rummy rules & scoring system of the site.

For players venturing into the ocean of Rummy, this site has a special module where they can play unlimited FREE rummy games with unlimited ‘Chips’ [account balance] to perfect their Rummy Skills. On registration, player’s account is credited with 10,000. Free Rummy Chips this allows them to play unlimited free rummy games and participate in some free rummy tournaments where Real Cash Chips are at stake.

KhelPlay Rummy: Security, Legality & other aspects

When we think about online games that are not casual but that involve ‘Real Money’, one thought that definitely comes to our mind is “Whether it is legal or not to play Online Rummy” and “Whether it is secure since we would deposit money in their account”. As per this SC judgment, Online Rummy has been termed as a Game of Skill and does not belong to the Online-Gambling category, and hence it’s perfectly safe to play

In order to participate in tournaments [other than practice tournaments], player needs to have ‘Real Chips’ in his/her KhelPlay Rummy account. Real Chips are cash chips that you need to purchase by depositing cash in your KhelPlay Rummy account. Once your deposit is processed, your account is upgraded to play Real Rummy online. You need to be above the age of 18 years to play with real chips. In case, you deposit money in their account but it is not yet reflected in your KhelPlay Rummy account, then you can write a mail to support@khelplayrummy.com to get the matter checked and rectified.

Their payment partners are PayU, EBS, TechProcess etc. which definitely signifies that your money is in safe hands & you can use your debit/credit card without any hesitation since all online transactions at KhelPlay Rummy pass through the SSL layer [and are encrypted & secure].

KhelPlay Rummy: Line-up of Tournaments

KhelPlay Rummy offers two different types of Tournaments:

  • Time Based tournaments – Players need to complete the game within a stipulated time frame.
  • Round Based tournaments – Number of deals would be fixed in these tournaments

All tournaments have auto play mode in every round and level. In case a player fails to join after registration or gets disconnected due to network problems or fails to respond during a game, their turn will go in auto mode which gives them an opportunity to re-join the game. You can find the detailed Rummy tournament rules on their page.

As mentioned earlier, there are three different variants of Rummy that can be played on KhelPlay Rummy platform – Points Rummy, Pool Rummy and Deals Rummy

  • Points Rummy – Each deal forms an individual game in Points Rummy format where players play for points. The chip value is pre-decided and the winner wins chips basis the number of points per chip. You can also enjoy the 21 card rummy that is popular in local clubs.
  • Pool Rummy – Two variants that are possible in this category are ‘101 Pool’ & ‘201 Pool’.
  • Deals Rummy – KhelPlay Rummy offers ‘Best of 3 Deals Rummy’, which is a points rummy variation and the winner is decided after the final tally of points after 3 deals of rummy

For the review, we played a couple of games on the site & found the ‘Multi-Player Gaming’ experience awesome. The UI on the site is engaging which makes game-play interesting!! In addition to the variations listed above, there are different tournaments on KhelPlay Rummy. Some of them are Cash Players Tournament, Mighty Monday Tournament, KhelPlay Cash Card Tournament, Friday Fever Tournament etc. We found the line-up of Rummy Tournaments on KhelPlay Rummy exhaustive as well as intriguing.

KhelPlayRummy : Rummy on the go

With the smart-phone penetration increasing in India at a breath neck speed, it is one sector that can never be ignored.

The month of March brings in a lot of anxiety and stress in the lives of students. This is especially true for 10th and 12th graders who are under lot of pressure since they would be appearing for their board exams. These years are very crucial for the students since it lays the foundation of their future.

Getting good grades in exams is one thing but choosing the right career path is another thing. Choosing the career of your choice becomes very important and that is primary reason why both parents & students are equally worried about choosing the right career.

In today’s fast-changing times, career choice is not restricted to mainstream as it used to be in good old days. There are lot of career options available (some conventional and some un-conventional). A child can choose stream of his/her own choice, be it medical, engineering, arts, visual media, graphic designing, hotel management etc. In fact with the rise of Digital Media, many kids also opt for becoming stand-up comedians, YouTube stars etc. I know many of them who are still in school and do gadget reviews on YouTube. With so many career choices available, your question would be which is the “most preferred” career option? Well, the answer is “Engineering” still tops the list!!

Opting for a career choice is one part whereas achieving/chasing that dream is another part of the game. Getting into the engineering college of your choice is still a very daunting task. The 12th grader needs to appear for the CET exam than (s)he gets to choose a college based on the CET score. The choice of college is the most crucial task. If a kid is staying in Mumbai, parents would always prefer that (s)he takes admission in engineering college based out of Mumbai. However, in current hyper-competitive environment it is important that kids also explore college(s) suitable for them outside the residing city!!!

When I wanted to choose an engineering college in Mumbai, I was clueless about which college is right for me since only information that I had was about courses offered by college, placement information etc. (remember this was way back in 2002 :)). Though I mentioned about 2002, the same scenario still exists in 2016. Kids and parents are equally clueless about which colleges to choose, fee structure, accommodation etc. A very good friend of mine who is from Nagpur has a son who wanted to pursue his career in engineering. Being the only child, my friend wanted his son to study in Nagpur.

Though there are so many resources (that give information about colleges, college reviews) available on the internet but major part of that information is scattered across multiple websites. Also, there is no guarantee whether the information mentioned on the website is legitimate. We tried to source information about engineering colleges in Nagpur by asking relatives, mutual friends etc. but it did not work beyond a certain point. When we hit the road-block, we decided to check back on the internet.

To our surprise, we found a “Single point Solution” to our problem and the solution is CollegeDunia – extensive search engine for the students, parents, and education industry players who are looking out for information about higher education in India or abroad. For parents, CollegeDunia offers a filter page that can rank colleges based on criteria like Fees, Cut-off percentage etc. When I informed my friend about the site, he quickly latched on to the opportunity to check the site and he just took few minutes to decide that his search for the top engineering colleges in Nagpur would be finally fulfilled on CollegeDunia. The very fact that it is extensive listing portal with information of more than 10000 colleges in India with in-depth information about entrance exams , events , college festivals etc increased my friend’s confidence in the portal 🙂

We tried to shortlist certain colleges in Nagpur after having a brief discussion with his son. We were looking out for colleges with best rating (along with keeping a watchful eye on the fees). Some of the colleges that made it to our shortlist bucket were:

  1. Visvesaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur (Rating : 8.5/10)
  2. ITM College of Engineering, Nagpur (Rating : 6.6/10)
  3. Shri Ramdeobaba Kamla Nehru College of Engineering and Management, Nagpur (Rating : 6.1/10)
  4. Karmavir Dadasaheb Kannamwar College of Engineering, Nagpur (Rating : 5.2/10)
  5. St Vincent Pallotti College of Engineering and Technology, Nagpur (Rating : 5.2/10)

We were finally bit relaxed that we were able to shortlist the colleges but shortlisting colleges was job-half done. Out of the top 3 colleges, there was debate between the selecting either the first or second in our list. As kids, we always wanted that “quality education” is well-balanced with “extra-curricular activities” and the same thought also revolved in my friend’s son’s mind. There were frequent debates about the choices and after a brief period of two weeks we finally zeroed in on “Visvesaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur”.

With the shortlist done from our side, it was time to apply for admission in that college. With information obtained from CollegeDunia, his son was finally able to take first step in fulfilling his dream – “To become an engineer” !! It has been more than two years since his son secured admission in the college and now he is more of a (self appointed) evangelist 🙂 for CollegeDunia who wants that his friends/relatives who aspire to be engineers make “Wise & Smart career choices” by using the CollegeDunia platform!!!
