Apart from this, the capital will be used to further ramp up the development of new market-leading financing solutions for its global customer base.

From providing affordable financing to scaling up their operations, we’re focused on meeting the growing demands of small and medium-sized businesses.”

“This latest injection of capital from SIDBI will further bolster our efforts to strengthen the MSME sector and women-led businesses,” Prakash added.
