About us

Targeting a $50+ Billion untapped category in SME lending market that's currently operating in a highly-traditional manner, we- re on a mission to solve one of the biggest pain points of businesses in India and globally - that of access to short term credit. Lack of access to timely credit is one of the biggest reasons companies go bankrupt or are unable to grow. On the other hand, availability of timely credit has a direct impact on any country's GDP. We are solving this problem by creating a private exchange for businesses to get access to funding on-demand. While there are several startups in the larger SME lending space - few are solving the problem at a scale or in a manner that we are looking to solve.

Our leadership team consists of ex-BCG, ex-Microsoft, ex-ISB alumni with a team of industry veterans from financial services serving as the advisory board. We bring to the table deep insights in the SME lending space, based on 100+ years of combined experience in Financial Services. We are a team of passionate problem solvers, and are looking for like-minded people to join our team.
