NeoGrowth is happy to announce completion of its second round of Equity raising. Omidyar Networks invested in the company’s equity in 2013, and now Aspada Investment Company has made an investment in the company which is making its mark in the industry. The Aspada Investment Company is backed with a significant commitment from the Soros Economic Development Fund (SEDF) and works to promote economic opportunity and development in India. Aspada Investment Company is advised by Aspada Investment Advisors, led by Kartik Srivatsa and Thomas Hyland. On this occasion our Co – founder and Managing Director, Mr Piyush Khaitan said, “Small businesses are the backbone of the Indian economy, yet there are hundreds of thousands of small merchants in India that are excluded from formal credit and banking channels. Extending transparent, timely and scalable financial offerings to this segment will help to spur business creation in a large market that has had to largely rely on informal sources of capital.” “NeoGrowth brings an outstanding team and novel approach in what is a large, vastly underserved, and rapidly-growing market. The credit provided by NeoGrowth will allow small firms to manage working capital, account for inventory fluctuations and seasonality, hire additional employees, and stock new merchandise. We view supporting the small business (SME) segment as a critical priority area and one that is necessary to sustain India’s long term growth trajectory” said Thomas Hyland, Partner of Aspada Investment Advisors. We also take this opportunity to welcome Tom Hyland on our board of directors consequential to this investment. Tom is a founding Partner of Aspada Investment Advisors.
