Paisagrowth is a loan origination, screening and decision automation software designed for local financial advisors across India to assist borrowers to get formal credit. Paisagrowth has 14 lending partners on its platform offering personal and SME Loans including Bajaj Finserv, Fullerton, Indifi, Lendingkart and is looking to ink similar partnerships with complimentary NBFCs and banks as well as other lending products.

The startup will utilize the funds to strengthen its product and scale up its operations. "We have had a great journey so far in understanding the industry pain points and addressing them by building a platform that works to the advantage of all three stakeholders of the digital lending ecosystem: borrowers, lenders and financial advisors. With this round of investment, we will be taking our product to the next level and onboarding more lenders and financial advisors on our platform," said Aabhas Tripathi, co-founder, Paisagrowth.

Founded in 2020 by Anurag Tiwari, the startup offers a simple, smart and unified journey for all loan products for financial advisors.

Advisors can also manage their team within the platform and set up their business independently and scale effectively. Paisagrowth claims to work on the education and branding of these advisors continuously to help them become more successful.

For its lending partners, the company offloads a good chunk of their operational burden through the smart journey, filtering and matchmaking process from the data points of borrowers, which in turn provides lenders with completed applications they can easily qualify and roll out a loan offer to. With its matchmaking marketplace, the company is leveraging technology to make the lending process efficient while empowering borrowers with informed decision-making.
