Intern (Data Science)

Yubi, formerly known as CredAvenue, is re-defining global debt markets by freeing the flow of finance between borrowers, lenders, and investors. We are the worlds possibility platform for the discovery, investment, fulfillment, and collection of any debt solution. At Yubi, opportunities are plenty and we equip you with tools to seize it.

In March 2022, we became Indias fastest fintech and most impactful startup to join the unicorn club with a Series B fundraising round of $137 million.

In 2020, we began our journey with a vision of transforming and deepening the global institutional debt market through technology. Our two-sided debt marketplace helps institutional and HNI investors find the widest network of corporate borrowers and debt products on one side and helps corporates to discover investors and access debt capital efficiently on the other side. Switching between platforms is easy, which means investors can lend, invest and trade bonds - all in one place. All of our platforms shake up the traditional debt ecosystem and offer new ways of digital finance.

• Job title : Intern
• Duration : 6 month
