About DPDzero
DPDzero builds the AI-first collections platform that lets lenders grow confidently while we take care of delinquency. We combine smart automation, a multilingual conversational voice agent, and disciplined field & telecalling execution to turn a difficult part of the lending lifecycle into measurable business impact.

We’re product-led and ops-backed: what you build here ships, scales, and changes real KPIs. That work isn’t just for engineers — account managers, operations specialists, compliance leads, and HR professionals all play a hands-on role in making experiments actionable and outcomes repeatable. At DPDzero you’ll collaborate across product, ML, and field teams to measure and improve things that matter (recovery rate, contact yield, compliance signals), not just ship features.
We’re backed by experienced investors and led by operators who have built India-scale fintech rails, so expect a high-ownership environment where impact is measured and rewarded. If you want a role where your day-to-day work directly moves company and partner outcomes — whether in product, sales, ops, or people — come help us expand credit access responsibly and at scale.
