About Vishal Vishal Singh Raina

Hey, I’m Vishal Pratap Singh. I started my journey in 2016 during my 2nd year of college with Naturekit, a gardening marketplace that connected all stakeholders. That path unexpectedly led me into interior design with Pintaki, where we turned nothing into something, hitting a ₹2 lakh monthly run rate — a success that felt bigger than getting into Harvard. I even persuaded my college to let us set up an office on campus just so we could list ourselves on Justdial. But then came the storm — 🦠 COVID hit, and a few fraud contractors took us down. Still in college, I got pulled into a local coupon website like Dukkan, but with too many competitors and a weak team, that failed too. But the voice inside that said “I can’t fail” led me to build Credmarg, this time with a focus on building robust revenue systems to fund every next move. 🧩 We launched Cred.works, managing office spaces and incubating startups that couldn’t afford to pay. Today, we manage sq ft in Hyderabad’s HITEC City. We also became the first tech company to open an office in Baramulla, Kashmir. From there, we built Kilope, a second-hand marketplace for commercial equipment, and created Astroping, an astrology-based product. No sweet ending here — just a journey worth living, enjoying, and working harder every day.
