Expertise and Oversight in Technology Adoption
Co-founder Saumil Annegiri emphasized the challenges of integrating technology within the credit industry, stating, “Marrying credit and technology has historically been insurmountable.” He pointed out that the industry is often fragmented and complex, with data that is frequently inconsistent and hard to access.
“At CredCore, we are addressing these issues with proprietary AI models trained on $5 trillion worth of data,” Annegiri added. However, he noted that while technology is essential, the role of expert oversight is crucial for ensuring accuracy and reliability.
