It was a great privilege to host a fireside chat with our Co-Founder & Chairman, Nandan Nilekani #InsiprationalLeader at the recent Avanti Partner Day in Bangalore. We covered a diverse range of topics from DPI (Digital Public Infrastructure) AI, Corporate Governance & Values, Innovation, Social Media and more! He had the audience enthralled with his deep insights, candour & quick wit. Definitely, the highlight of the day and a fitting end to a wonderful agenda put together by the team with great participation from our Partners , Lenders, Board & Investors.

Living in Ganjbasoda, Madhya Pradesh, with her family of seven, Rajni and her husband had always dreamt of expanding their vegetable business. Earning a meagre INR 500 daily, the dream seemed distant with the complexities of availing formal finance.In 2021, Avanti, alongside their trusted partner Samhita, entered the picture, bringing with them not just capital, but an understanding of Rajni’s unique needs and challenges and modelling her future cash flows that would enable her to enhance her livelihood income. Through an assisted digital process, Rajni’s loan application was approved within a day and the funds landing in her bank account the next morning.

At Avanti, our core belief is to make financial services not only affordable but also easily accessible, fostering a transformative impact on the lives of individuals. Rupamma's story vividly exemplifies this philosophy. As the sole provider for her household, she faced the daunting challenge of managing her family's affairs. Avanti, through its Roots initiative, provided Rupamma with a crucial opportunity, granting her a loan of INR 60,000.

“2020 is targeted to be a takeoff year for us. We would like to take our business to the next level, get in some additional strong investors, strengthen our product, deepen our market coverage and activate our platform lending partnerships with other financial institutions says” Rahul Gupta, CEO, Avanti Finance, in an interview with Elets News Network (ENN).
