BANGALORE, India, Jan. 10, 2023 – Leading digital lending platform, Lendingkart continued its association with Purple Quarter to appoint ex-Rupeek techie, Manik Dham as the Senior Director of Engineering.

One of India’s fastest-growing FinTechs, Lendingkart focuses on the credit product ecosystem for MSMEs pan India. The group aims to make working capital finance available at the fingertips of entrepreneurs so that they can focus on business instead of worrying about the gaps in their cash flows. It was imperative that Lendingkart’s Engineering productivity, reliability & Data Engineering Group (EDG) hire an experienced tech leader who could bridge the tech operational gaps and contribute to the company’s overall scale.
Giridhar Yasa, CTO, Lendingkart shared, “We are delighted to welcome Manik Dham to the team.

Purple Quarter has been a great partner in locating tech leadership talent for our organisation on various occasions. We appreciate the team’s driven efforts and meticulous search process.”
Purple Quarter understands Lendingkart’s long-term vision and accordingly devised a strategic approach to find the best fitment. It was imperative that the leader had deep-set knowledge and relevant industry expertise. Manik Dham proved to be the best fit for the leadership mandate. With over 12 years of experience building high-performing teams, platforms and successful global partnerships, Manik has been associated with Rupeek, Quinbay Technologies and Ness Technologies among others. At Lendingkart EDG, he will be responsible for enhancing and scaling the Lendingkart platform’s technology capabilities.
