About

We run the numbers so you don't have to.

What CreditGully is

CreditGully is an independent editorial platform built to help Indian consumers make more informed decisions about credit cards. We publish in-depth card reviews, side-by-side comparisons, and editorial guides — and we build tools like CardFinder and Card Compare that let you model actual rewards against your real spending.

We are not a bank, card issuer, or financial institution. We don't process credit applications and we don't offer any regulated financial product. We're a small team of people who think clearly about the numbers and try to present them honestly.

Our editorial approach

A lot of Indian credit card coverage gets the analysis wrong. Reward rates are misquoted. Fee waivers are glossed over. Redemption value — arguably the most important number — is almost never modelled at all.

We try to do better. That means actually reading the fine print: factoring in monthly and annual caps, modelling earn rates across specific spending categories, and working out what a point is worth at redemption — not just at face value. Our CardFinder engine runs a full reward waterfall against your inputs and ranks cards by what they'd actually earn you.

We participate in affiliate marketing programmes. When you apply for a card through a link on our site and are approved, we may receive a referral commission from the issuing bank. This doesn't influence our rankings or editorial judgements — cards are evaluated on their merits, not on what they pay us. We disclose affiliate relationships clearly and don't accept paid placements in our rankings.

Who's behind it

AM

Aakarsh Mohan — Founder

I'm the founder of CreditGully. I started my career at Kotak Mahindra Bank, which gave me some ground-level insight into how Indian banking works — before spending 8+ years building ML models, A/B testing frameworks, and financial analytics products at Monzo, Spotify, Airbnb, and Better.com.

A lot of credit card advice gets the analysis wrong — reward rates are misquoted, fee waivers are misunderstood, and redemption value is rarely modelled at all. I try to do better: actually running the numbers on earn rates, caps, and redemption paths rather than just repeating what a bank's marketing team published. I don't always get it perfectly right, but I try to be upfront about the assumptions involved.

I started CreditGully out of frustration with India's affiliate-driven rankings and vague “it depends” takes. I want to build something that treats readers like adults.
