  • P2P lending marketplace Monexo takes off in India

    By A Correspondent

     

    Rage Communications has launched an online peer-to-peer lending marketplace for Monexo in India. While P2P lending is innovating financial services globally, Monexo has brought this model to India, assisted by Rage’s online expertise.

     

    Launched in India on September 19, Monexo is tapping into the traditional lending market by providing a new avenue of investment that is relatively less volatile and also provides opportunity to diversify investments for monthly returns. Rage was entrusted with this task of reaching out to Indian money lenders and borrowers through multiple digital channels.

     

    Says Neville Medhora, Vice President and Head of India Business, Rage Communications, “The challenge was to bring two very different sets of relationship sets (lenders and borrowers) on one platform and address all their user journeys seamlessly”. Rage provided superior customer experience and removed the friction in the borrowing process with the use of robust technology.

     

    The idea was carried forward on social media too, with the theme of freedom and independence – being able to access affordable loans.

    Rage Communications has appointed Neville Medhora as its Head of India Business. Neville, till recently, the head of Rediffusion-Y&R’s Mumbai office joins Rage Communications after a twenty-year journey that traversed across most of the leading advertising agencies in India.

     

    Apart from Rediffusion-Y&R, Neville has had substantial stints with Equus, Saatchi & Saatchi, TBWA and JWT. In his extensive advertising stint, Neville has worked with some of the largest and most successful brands in India across many categories.

     

    Karthik Kumar, Director, Rage Communications commented, “Neville’s joining  Rage will add significant depth to Rage’s overall offerings in India and bring fresh thinking in the way digital will contribute to its clients building strong and sustainable engagements with their consumers.”

     

    Commenting on his role, Neville Medhora, India Head, Rage Communications said, “Indian marketing is on the cusp of change with respect to digital.  Marketers are beginning to realize that digital can no longer be an esoteric activity on the margins, but has to be a key ingredient in the marketing playbook of any serious activity. As they realize this, they also discover that digital is not just ‘shoot-and-scoot’ advertising, but a completely new form of engaging with consumers that requires developing deep roots and sustaining it for meaningful impact.”

     

    Neville caught the digital bug about six years ago and spearheaded key digital initiatives of clients within the boundaries of the traditional off-line format. Recognizing its inherent weaknesses, he took a sabbatical to learn the intricacies of the digital world. Neville joins Rage Communications fresh from this sabbatical.
