Excerpt from the article:
NeoGrowth is a technology-enabled lending business providing loans to underserved micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) on the basis of their digital spends through point-of-sale machines. My brother, Dhruv Khaitan, and I founded a digital payments processing firm, Venture Infotek, in the mid-1990s. It soon became India's largest transaction processing firm and operated merchant acquiring, card processing, loyalty programmes and government benefit programmes on behalf of Indian banks and large retailers. It is during these years that we realized retailers' pain points in terms of accessing finance. More than half of these retailers, though creditworthy, were denied finance on the basis of traditional underwriting methods. That was the click moment for us. We realized that there is a huge credit gap we can bridge by leveraging our learnings in digital payments and transactions. We divested Venture Infotek in 2010 and founded NeoGrowth in 2011-12 to provide MSME retailers easy access to credit. NeoGrowth has pioneered an innovative lending model in India, which operates at the convergence of three ecosystems-lending, urban retail, and digital payments.
