The new financing cycle, a Series C for CRED, was driven by the existing investment maker DST Global.

The back story of financing rounds of CRED

The new funds come at a time when CRED is enjoying a surge in its growth. The startup, which was one of the sponsors of the recently concluded IPL cricket tournament, ran a number of clever and fun advertisements during the tournament featuring Indian legends. And those ads worked
