CreditWorthy is a web app designed to assess the creditworthiness of unbanked nano-entrepreneurs, such as local vegetable vendors, laundry service providers, and kirana store owners.
This project was created for the AI & Data Science Codeathon 2024, a 24-hour hackathon organized by RBIHub, IIITB Innovation Center, in collaboration with Canara Bank, held on 20-21 November 2023
