Some notable brands that have benefited from its funding include Ustraa and Wellversed. “With more than half of the 300 consumer brands we've financed utilizing quick commerce platforms, it's clear that these businesses are primarily investing in scaling inventory to keep pace with consumer demand and employing strategic marketing efforts,” said Eklavya Gupta, CEO & co-founder of Recur Club. Recur Club offers loans to startups and businesses, ranging from Rs 50 lakhs to Rs 100 crore within 48 hours by linking their financial data.
