“Shah is probably the most honed individual I know. I’m pleased and happy to have him as a companion, consultant and now likewise as a speculator. We are in a high level phase of our vision and are eager to acquaint it with the world soon,” said Pei.

Shah has put resources into various areas through his profession.

Pei is a Swedish tech business visionary who helped to establish OnePlus, a significant cell phone maker in 2013 at 24 years old.

Shah, prime supporter of FreeCharge, set up Cred in 2018.
