Building an Indian Fintech Giant with Madhusudan E |

In this first episode of Arkam Leader’s Lab, host Bala Srinivasa sits down with Madhusudan E, Founder of ‪@KreditBee‬ for a raw and unfiltered conversation on what it really takes to build a massive lending business in one of India’s toughest markets. Madhu takes us through the early days of KreditBee, the belief systems he had to break, and the unapologetically hands-on leadership style that has shaped one of India’s most ambitious fintech companies. From firing his own CEO to building a team of outsiders with something to prove, this episode shows the brutal honesty and clarity with which Madhu leads. We dive deep into the dark days of Covid when KreditBee went to zero, the personal battles Madhu fought alongside the professional ones, and the mindset that helped him steer the company back to growth. For any founder navigating uncertainty, this is a masterclass in resilience, decision-making and staying sane when nothing seems to be working. If you are a founder, operator or future leader, this is an episode you will want to take notes on. Madhu’s journey offers actionable lessons on leadership, culture, fundraising, trust-building with investors and what it means to build an iconic Indian company from scratch.
