Founded in 2016, as a mobile app for users in India to efficiently manage their phone calls and data usage, True Balance is now India’s one of the top financial services platforms providing solutions to all the financial needs of its users – from obtaining instant loans, paying utility bills to do prepaid recharges seamlessly, the statement said.
Commenting on her appointment, Sonia, CBO, Balancehero India, said- “I found the idea of ‘Finance for the next billion’ and of serving the financially underserved, especially in a country like ours, extremely compelling and exciting. While many people talk about it, very few companies have done it successfully. The way True Balance has been addressing this through technology, machine learning, and product innovation, gave me immense confidence to join the company. I am looking forward to my journey here and helping cater to the myriad needs of diverse segments through the new and interesting product offerings that are planned.
During a career spanning over two decades, Sonia held various leadership positions at ICICI Bank, Citibank & Clix Capital.
