Start-up story of India’s First Bad Debt Saviour Company; Debtors Watch

By

Every start-up, every small or a big company or even individual service providers, in that case, have got through the problem of fraudulent clients at some point in time. In fact, it is identified that almost 10% of the start-ups in the industry have missed simply due to non-recovery of the debt from their customers. The impact of this risk is so huge in anyone’s life that it can easily ruin their bread and butter. And so, the young man Deepanjan Periwal came up with a start-up idea of saving hundreds of scams happening every day due to the non-payments. His urge to identify how could one get rid of the problem led him here.

 

About Deepanjan Periwal

Deepanjan Periwal is a certified chartered accountant and has worked for more than nine years at Ernst & Young, India. Further, he holds an experience of three years as a self-advisor that gave him the maximum instances of losing money due to client defaulting payments leading to bad debts. He wondered what could evade such situations. He says that the bad debts not only wipe your revenue but a part of the business profits. His immense struggle for three years got him to build up a whole good company and save companies bearing bad debts. He realised that the problem of debt and non-payments not only existed with the service providers but also in the retail sector. Such a huge concern that persisted in the entire market inspired him to start with Debtors Watch.
