Bengaluru-Based Fintech Startup Attracts Big Investors
Digital lending platform Finnable has raised a whopping Rs 500 crore in an equity funding round led by Z47 and TVS Capital Funds, with participation from the MEMG Family Office, led by Ranjan Pai. The infusion of capital is set to supercharge Finnable’s growth, enabling it to expand its product portfolio, strengthen technology capabilities, and deepen partnerships with employers and financial institutions.
Founded in 2015 by Nitin Gupta and Amit Arora, Finnable focuses on providing personal loans to salaried professionals, particularly those earning between Rs 15,000 and Rs 50,000 per month—a segment often underserved by traditional banks.
Filling a Critical Gap in Lending
According to CEO and Co-founder Nitin Gupta, Finnable was built to solve a real gap in financial access. “Today, we’ve built a business that earns trust before it earns scale,” Gupta said, highlighting the startup’s focus on responsible lending and building long-term customer relationships.
Finnable’s platform uses technology-driven assessments to evaluate creditworthiness quickly and efficiently, allowing salaried individuals to access personal loans without the hassle of long bank procedures.
How the Funding Will Be Used
The Rs 500 crore raised will be strategically deployed to:
-
Expand Finnable’s product portfolio to cater to a broader range of customer needs
-
Enhance technology capabilities, including AI-driven credit assessments and risk management
-
Deepen partnerships with employers and financial institutions to offer more seamless lending solutions
This investment positions Finnable to scale rapidly across India, particularly in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities where salaried professionals are underserved by traditional financial services.
Why Investors Are Excited
Investors are backing Finnable for its innovative approach to digital lending, which combines technology, transparency, and customer trust. Z47 and TVS Capital Funds see significant growth potential in India’s salaried professional segment, which remains underbanked yet highly creditworthy.
