Beams Fintech Fund, India's first Growth Stage Fintech Fund, has invested an undisclosed amount in a Series B round of USD 50 mn in India's leading Debt Collection SaaS platform, Credgenics. Beams has invested alongside Westbridge and Accel in this round. Other investors in this company include Tanglin, Tital Capital, and DMI Finance.
 
Founded in 2018 by Rishabh Goel, Anand Agarwal, and Mayank Khera, Credgenics is revolutionizing the way collections are made and serviced in the country. The AI-powered SaaS-based platform has also garnered recognition from IBS Intelligence as the #1 Bestselling Loan Collection Platform in India in their Annual Sales League Table 2022.
 
Digital debt collections is the need of the hour with lending moving into the instant mode, digital format, and fast gear. As lending volumes increase and instant loans with smaller ticket sizes grow, bringing down the cost of collections becomes a key priority. Digitization is the only way to achieve this at scale. Credgenics is helping accelerate the pace of digitization but address the gaps in the debt collection operations.
 
Till date, Credgenics has worked with over 100+ customers in the BFSI segment (Banks, NBFCs and Fintechs). Credgenics has handled 40 million retail loans till date and sends 60 million digital communications every month. With Credgenics, lenders have increased resolution rates by 20%, improved collections by 25%, reduced collections cost by 40%, reduced collections time by  30%, and improved legal efficiencies by 60%.
 
Beams Fintech Fund's ecosystem and network of LPs, which includes leading Banks and NBFCs, will look to partner with Credgenics. Beams value add strategy is to cross-pollinate between its LPs and portfolio companies. Beams will facilitate access to its banking network and open doors to its group's portfolio of 250+ startups for partnerships, collaboration, and potential acquisition opportunities for Credgenics.
 
Sagar Agarvwal, Managing Partner & Co-Founder of Beams, said, we have spent a lot of time in the Banking Infrastructure and Tech space to identify segments which are mission-critical for Banks & FIs. Collections has been a long-standing challenge for FIs globally, and a key concern area where FIs are willing to pay to improve efficiencies. As lending markets will become larger over the next decade, FIs will have to spend capital on resources and technology to effectively collect at the same pace. Credgenics is a market leader today in Collections plug-and-play SaaS space. Rishabh, Mayank, and Anand have productised the problem of collections for FIs and have used a first principles approach towards building the platform and providing a unique solution for FIs.

Study Synopsis   
  • The findings will impact the interventional treatment of elderly patients with MI, steering physicians to physiology-guided complete revascularization.
  • Data from 1445 patients across 34 centres from Italy, Spain and Poland were analyzed.
     
SMT (Sahajanand Medical Technologies), a leading medical device company in India, focused on innovative patient care in cardiovascular segment, today announced late-breaking data of its stent Supraflex Cruz at the ESC Congress 2023.

The study, conducted across 34 participating sites spanning Italy, Spain, and Poland, was unveiled during the ESC Congress 2023, marking a significant step for Supraflex Cruz in the interventional cardiology space.

Principal Investigator Dr Simone Biscaglia from University Hospital of Ferrara, Italy presented primary endpoint data at one year from this study at the ESC Congress 2023. A total of 1445 older (at least 75 years of age) patients with MI (with or without ST-segment elevation) and multivessel disease were enrolled in this study from July 18, 2019, to October 25, 2021.

The study was an investigator-initiated, multicenter, prospective randomized (1:1) trial, to compare a strategy of physiology-guided complete myocardial revascularization versus a culprit-only strategy.

Speaking more on the trial, Dr Simone Biscaglia said, "Our landmark study published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine is an important step forward in interventional cardiology. We were extremely pleased to demonstrate that physiology-guided complete revascularization with implantation of Supraflex Cruz stents led to a highly significant 27% reduction in cardiovascular events."

The primary end point was the patient-oriented composite end point (POCE) of all-cause death, any MI, any stroke, and any revascularization at 1 year. Commenting more on the trial results, Study Chair Dr Gianluca Campo from the University Hospital of Ferrara, Italy said, "The FIRE trial addressed the lack of evidence for a revascularization strategy beyond culprit lesion treatment in older patients with a mean age of 81 years, with MI and multivessel disease. We proved our hypothesis that complete revascularization with Supraflex Cruz, guided by coronary physiology, yielded superior results to a culprit lesion only strategy in these patients."

Chief Medical Officer at SMT, Dr Krishna Sudhir commented, "This trial is a game changer for the treatment of elderly patients with MI. At SMT we are delighted that Supraflex Cruz was chosen as the stent in the study and showed excellent results with low event rates in an extremely high risk group of patients, optimally treated with physiology-guided complete revascularization."

While complete revascularization is well documented in younger MI patients, its applicability and advantages in older patients with MI who are prone to having a higher risk of complications has been uncertain until this trial. The findings will influence the interventional treatment of elderly patients with MI, driving physicians to optimally treat with complete revascularization guided by physiology.
