MARRIED IN 1984 SEPARATED IN 1990 Wife files 498A in 1992 Husband agrees to pay maintenance Husband files divorce in 2019 Court grants divorce on ground of cruelty & desertion in 2022, orders 10 Lacs Alimony Wife moves High Court saying alimony is less High Court increases Alimony to 40 Lacs saying the woman will have financial & medical needs for atleast 17 more years & she has a right to live the lifestyle she would have lived had she been married. And as the man will received 38 Lacs of retirement benefits, 40 Lacs Alimony is fair and reasonable. An entire life gone for a marriage that lasted only 6 years where there are no children born. The woman has gone on taking money from this man for the last 34 years and now she gets a lumpsum of 40 Lacs for doing nothing while the man slogged his life to get this retirement benefits of 38 Lacs Jharkhand High Court is passing such terrible orders that it is appalling. It is quite clear that marriage for them is a lifelong financial bondage for a husband. Whether the man won divorce on merits, whether the man is the victim, whether the man suffered for years - HE HAS TO PAY!! Honestly , this is literally pushing people to the edge. I can only wonder what I would do if something like this is done to me. This woman contributed nothing to that man's life. He would have been a free man in 40 years no matter what crime he committed. But he duly followed the law and look what the law does to him THIS IS SICK. THIS IS SO SICK.

It’s been a minute. 2015–2018 - Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing. - Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital. - Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time. 2019–2025 - Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft. - Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour. - Built several products during COVID lockdowns. - Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks. - Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting. - Received a full stack of regulatory licences. - Lost 35 kilos. - Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards. 2026 - First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is) - Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital. - Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback. Today CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role. Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction. Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves. As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally. Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data. While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth. Onwards.
