NeoGrowth evaluated the Social Impact caused by its lending activity by conducting customer surveys and interviews. This activity was done by a third party agency who conducts an independent survey on a random sample basis, chosen by them.
The survey revealed a strong trend of improvement in CIBIL scores of participants,especially for those merchants who were exposed to repeat lending, thereby enhancing their creditworthiness and enabling them to access mainstream finance.
36% of the merchants reviewed witnessed an improvement in their credit scores thereby enabling them to integrate into the formal banking system with an improved borrower profile.
Though year 2016-17 was very challenging year for SME segments cause of demonetization and other tax legislation, 41% of the merchants assessed had renewed the loans taken from NeoGrowth, a direct indication of their positive outlook for the future.
NeoGrowth believes in giving wings to entrepreneurs with potential to make their dreams a reality.
