Anjali Mehta
Credit & CIBIL Editor · 6+ yrs
Former bank credit analyst turned consumer-finance writer. Specializes in credit scoring, EMI mechanics, and CIBIL disputes.
LinkedInAbout Anjali
Anjali spent six years inside Indian banking — three on a retail credit team underwriting personal loans, and three writing borrower-facing explainers for a major fintech. She edits the CIBIL, settlement, and EMI-maths coverage on SahiSujhav.
She built the Settlement-vs-Closure calculator on this site and the 12-month CIBIL recovery roadmap. Her view: bureaus don't publish formulas, but the levers borrowers can actually pull (utilization, on-time, mix, age, inquiries) are well understood and worth ranking honestly.
Anjali holds an MBA in Finance and is a CFA Level II candidate.
