With over a decade of experience in financial services spanning lending, credit automation, and fintech entrepreneurship, Bhavin has built LenDenClub from a seed-stage startup into a platform targeting 100 crore in operating profitability before pursuing an IPO. He and his co-founder have been recognised in Businessworld's BW Disrupt 40 Under 40 list. In this episode, Bhavin unpacks how wealthy investors think about portfolio construction differently from retail investors, why delegating money management leads to better outcomes, and how P2P lending fits into a diversified asset allocation strategy alongside equity, debt, and gold. He also walks through how LenDenClub's borrower screening process works, how default risk is managed through diversification across thousands of loans, and why India's regulatory framework makes its P2P model far more resilient than the models that collapsed in China.
