- ByStartupStory | August 13, 2022
Lendingkart said it had collected Rs 50 crores through selling market-linked and non-convertible debentures. InCred Capital Financial Services Private Limited contributed 20 crores and Yubi (previously CredAvenue) and other investors contributed 30 crores to the company’s funding. In order to enable the MSME segment to expand its operations, the funds collected will be used to on-lend business loans to that sector.
Harshvardhan Lunia, CEO and founder of Lendingkart, said, “The recently acquired money will enable us to connect with more company owners and provide financial support for their enterprises. The idea of “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” and the “5 trillion economies” will become a reality as more small and medium-sized enterprises enter the mainstream.”
According to Lunia, Lendingkart is “empowering” MSMEs in the country and helping them to develop a profitable business while bridging the financial gaps with its platform and dedication to providing working capital loans to small enterprises.
A number of foreign investors, including Fullerton Financial Holding (FFH), Bertelsmann, Mayfield India, Saama Capital, Sistema Asia, India Quotient, and others, have contributed about 1,100 crores of rupees in equity to Lendingkart so far. FFH is a 100% subsidiary of Singapore Sovereign Fund Temasek Holdings.
