## About

Founded in 2019 and based in Karnataka, India, Wortgage Technologies Private Limited d.b.a., WeRize, provides tailored financial services to small-town families in India. The company was co-founded by Vishal Chopra (CEO) and Himanshu Gupta. In June 2026, WeRize raised INR 640 million in pre-Series C funding led by Sony Innovation Fund, with participation from 3one4Capital Advisors.

WeRize operates as a comprehensive financial services platform tailored specifically for underserved families in small-town India. The company manufactures and distributes a range of customized financial products, including mortgages, unsecured loans, and group insurance, aimed at fulfilling the unique financial needs of approximately 300 million customers across over 5,000 small towns in India. Their offerings leverage a proprietary technology platform, termed the "Social Shopify of Finance," which facilitates social distribution through a network of trained partners and freelancers. By providing high-touch sales and after-sales services in five regional languages, WeRize aims to address the gaps left by traditional financial institutions and fintechs that often overlook this demographic. This model not only supports families in achieving financial stability but also empowers local partners to drive financial inclusion within their communities.

WeRize company’s revenue model focuses on offering customized financial products through a network of trusted partners, enhancing customer retention and satisfaction. Each financial product is designed to cater to small-town customers' specific needs, and the company benefits from a scalable model that allows efficient management of operational costs while serving a large client base.

The company will use this June 2026 funding to improve AI and expand its financial products.
