Khushru
F. Doctor, CEO of Metis, with over 30 years of experience, has led large and
small global projects. His extensive qualifications include MCA, former CISA, CSM, PMP, and a
Diploma in Innovation and Design Thinking. Amit Saraswat, the CPO, brings over
20 years of experience, backed by a PhD in “Advanced Statistical Methods” and a
Bachelor's Degree from IIT Roorkee. As the first Data Scientist at LendingKart,
he pioneered data-driven strategies in the fintech space. His expertise has
also been honed through roles as a Data Scientist at Fidelity Investments and
Home Credit. The founders are well supported by Mahima Dwivedi, a veteran of

Vikram Ramasubramanian, Partner, Inflection
Point Ventures, says, “As credit availability increases, boosting economic growth, credit
decision-making must become more robust. With a wealth of qualitative and
quantitative information available today, data science is essential for
improving credit decisions. Analytics not only assist lenders before lending
but also act as early warning systems during the credit term, ensuring credit
quality is maintained. While existing applications help lenders with credit decisions,
they often fail to adapt to the evolving credit landscape and fully leverage
data science. Metis addresses this with more accurate and agile data analytics
and early warning systems. Led by Khusru and Amit, who bring deep and
complementary expertise, Metis is well-positioned to thrive in this market.”
Metis’
deep understanding of Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and its
application for fintechs has enabled the company to develop a unique capability
to deep-dive to present contextual understanding and cross-reference data from
multiple sources. This allows them to create a comprehensive and unified
understanding of the customer, enhancing the precision and effectiveness of
financial technology solutions.
Khushru F. Doctor, CEO of Metis Intellisystems, says, “Metis
Intellisystems aims to transform the fintech industry using its cutting-edge
AI/ML technologies. There is a lack of high-tech, intelligent decision-making
processes, even in large fintechs. Metis aims to spearhead the adoption of
intelligent systems for decision-making to replace outdated technologies or
manual methods. Leveraging our expertise in advanced technologies, experience
in Fintech, and passion for problem-solving, Metis seeks to harness and
interweave abundant, diverse data sources via cross-referencing and
triangulation to champion a paradigm shift to automated intelligence.”
Within
two months of Metis’ product launch, the company secured partnerships with financial
institutions, both domestic and international, including a prominent national
bank. They were invited to The Indian Banks' Association (IBA) Knowledge Series
to present their solutions to large public sector banks. The Fintech AI
platform has formalised arrangements with many companies in the past few months.
These discussions with multiple banks and NBFCs aim to implement solutions for
various use cases such as risk identification, early warning systems, and
automated business rule engines (BRE) for lending.
The digital lending sector, in which Metis operates, is projected to grow significantly, from its current valuation of USD 270 billion to USD 1.3 trillion by 2030. This substantial market growth underscores Metis's vast potential and opportunities as it scales its operations.
