Indifi CEO and co-founder Alok Mittal said: “Although India is home to numerous MSMEs, most of them lack access to funding. At Indifi, we address this problem by working closely with more than 100 data partners and a few top financial institutions, providing easily accessible loans digitally, and helping businesses grow in their journey.”
The fintech recently joined forces with technology giant Facebook to enable clients to digitally offer small ticket sized loans to MSME clients.
CX Partners managing director Manu Sahni said: “Indifi is filling a critical gap in the Indian lending landscape – to provide loans to small merchants and businesses using technology to bypass constraints of traditional MSME lending by relying on data and integrating with anchor digital ecosystems and financial institutions.”
