About CirclePe

CirclePe is a rental-housing financial-technology startup headquartered in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The company was founded in 2022 by Ankit Sharma and Yash Jain to address frictions in the Indian rental market, where prospective tenants are typically asked to deposit several months of rent up-front as a refundable security deposit at the start of a tenancy. CirclePe's core product is a deposit-replacement service that allows tenants to move into a rented home by paying a small recurring fee in place of a traditional lump-sum security deposit, while landlords retain comparable financial protection against rent default and property damage through CirclePe's underwriting and guarantees. The company partners with property owners, property-management firms, brokers, and co-living and student-housing operators to integrate its product into the leasing journey, and packages additional services such as rent-payment, KYC, agreement, and dispute-management workflows for tenants and landlords. CirclePe operates in major Indian rental markets and has expanded coverage as it has grown its underwriting models and partner network. The company has raised seed and early-stage capital from venture and angel investors focused on India's rental, fintech, and proptech sectors and has been featured in startup-news coverage of Indian housing-tech. Indian fresher and early-career hiring at CirclePe is concentrated in its Bengaluru office and typically targets software-engineer, mobile-engineer, data-analyst, credit-and-risk-analyst, sales, partnerships, customer-experience, and operations roles, with applications routed through CirclePe's website and direct LinkedIn outreach.
