Overview
marketfeed is a Bengaluru-based YC Summer 2021 fintech brand founded in 2020 by Sharique Samsudheen and Sooraj Elamana. Its current public site positions it as an EMI-lowering / loan-refinancing service for salaried Indians, while legacy YC/blog materials still describe automated options-trading and stock-market education products. Public third-party estimates for scale conflict, so scale figures should be treated as rough estimates rather than audited facts.
