The Non-Banking Finance Company (NBFC) provides micro-loans to women consumers primarily in rural areas in India. It is the fifth largest NBFC-MFI (Micro-Finance Institution) in the gross loan portfolio as of March 31, 2023, and the third largest in South India. It has a strong presence in south India.

As per the information given in RHP, its customers typically have limited sources of income, savings and credit histories. Most customers do not have a credit history supported by tax returns, proper proof of income, bank or credit card statements, or other relevant documents. Hence, it becomes difficult for an NBFC to conduct credit risk consistently analyses on customers.
