Catering to India’s youth, the slice has over 300,000 members & 900,000 on the waitlist today, 70% of them being young working professionals. The company has processed a transaction volume of over $250 mn and plans to achieve a GTV run rate of $1 bn in FY22. With this, slice also plans to grow its member base by more than 3x to 1 mn in the next 12 months.

Commenting on this, Rajan Bajaj, Founder & CEO, slice, said, “Last year was volatile, which makes it even more empowering for us to have such strong financial institutions show solidarity with our vision. The number of institutions investing in us has grown significantly in FY21 alone, a validation of our strategy of keeping the lowest NPAs in the industry.”

“Our priority right now is to support the country in every way possible as we all collectively fight the second wave. We have all learned several lessons from the pandemic last year which will help us put our best foot forward & cater to our members’ needs adeptly. Customer centricity and business agility are more important in today’s times than ever before,” He added.

In the last few quarters, the slice has witnessed significant growth in terms of consumers and the size of the team. Despite the pandemic, the company grew by 125% in 2020 and has recorded a 40-50% increase in average customer spends. The company also plans to double its employee strength in 2021 with a major focus on tech, product, and design.
