CRED CEO Kunal Shah Reveals His Salary, Sparks Debate On InternetKunal Shah, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of fintech company CRED, held an 'Ask Me Anything' session on Instagram on Sunday where he revealed his salary. Mr Shah stated that he draws a monthly salary of Rs 15,000 and also stated the reason for the same.
The answer was in response to a question posed by a user: "Your salary at CRED is so low? How do you survive?"

My salary at CRED is Rs 15,000 per month and I can survive as I sold my company FreeCharge in the past."

"Very impressive," remarked a user.
"Being humble and flexing in the same sentence. His words always poke me to be curious," said a user.

An internet user stated, "He should take his salary in CRED coins."
