📌 What’s This About?
Credit teams are facing a perfect storm: rising rates, shaky consumer data, global tariffs, capital scarcity, and shifting borrower behavior. In this macro mess, how do the best credit shops stay ahead?
They rethink the playbook — and put AI at the core.
Join us for an unmissable evening as Rahul Ramesh, Chief Credit Officer at Brex, and Pranjal Daga, Co-Founder of Accend unpack what it takes to thrive through volatility. From macro-aware underwriting to AI-first credit ops, this is where the future of risk gets decoded.

🧠 Why This Matters Now?
The old credit risk models weren’t built for rate shocks, trade wars, and AI-native borrowers. What’s needed now is precision, speed, and flexibility.
This won’t be a generic AI panel — it’s a deep, tactical conversation between two teams who are building and underwriting through the chaos.
