Another noteworthy development in India’s digital consumer lending market is the ₹250 crore pre-Series C fundraising round that Bengaluru-based personal loan platform Finnable is planning. The fintech business, which has already received ₹127 crore in its first tranche, wants to expand its presence in the rapidly expanding personal lending sector and speed up its growth. Prominent names like Matrix Partners, TVS Capital, and India Nippon Electricals Ltd. are among the investors supporting this round, demonstrating their strong belief in Finnable’s business plan and prospects.
Backing From Leading Investors
The first tranche of the funding round has already closed, contributing ₹125 crore from Matrix Partners and ₹2 crore from India Nippon Electricals Ltd. According to a board resolution filed with the Registrar of Companies, the remaining capital is expected to flow in soon, rounding off the targeted ₹250 crore raise.
What makes this round notable is the strong mix of investors involved. Apart from Matrix Partners and India Nippon Electricals, TVS Capital Partners is also participating, reflecting growing institutional interest in India’s consumer lending space. These strategic investors bring not just capital, but industry expertise, which will be key in helping Finnable scale operations and optimize its technology platform.
Valuation and Recent Growth Trajectory
According to Entrackr’s market estimates, Finnable’s post-money valuation in this pre-Series C investment is roughly ₹1,300 crore, or $150 million. Finnable secured ₹40 crore from Ranjan Pai’s MEMG Family Office, which currently owns 18.69% of the company, just six months prior to this notable valuation increase.
According to the most recent publicly accessible cap table, TVS Capital owns 8.05% of the company, while Matrix Partners India owns 14.53%. After the current round completely closes, these shareholding ratios should slightly change, probably lowering promoters’ stake and enhancing institutional ownership.
This strong investor interest signals growing confidence in Finnable’s business model, especially in an environment where digital lending and fintech platforms are rapidly expanding in India due to underserved credit demand.

What Does Finnable Do?
Former bankers Nitin Gupta, Amit Arora, and Viraj Tyagi founded Finnable in 2016 with the goal of providing personal loans to professionals on a salary. The organization, which mostly targets salaried individuals who require immediate access to short-term financial assistance, uses technology-driven credit evaluation algorithms to offer smooth, rapid, and hassle-free loans.
Finnable has served more than 2.7 lakh customers and has an excellent Assets Under Management (AUM) of over ₹3,000 crore, according to the most recent filing. This puts the firm in a position to grow quickly in the Indian digital lending sector, where demand is still rising despite intense competition.
Financial Performance: A Look at the Numbers
Finnable reported making ₹181.7 crore in its most recent fiscal year (FY24). The company’s aggressive development plans and ongoing funding round suggest a high growth trajectory, even though its FY25 financial reports have not yet been released.
It is anticipated that Finnable will use the new funding to concentrate on growing its loan portfolio, making investments in cutting-edge credit scoring systems, and fortifying its risk management system. Additionally, the cash will probably support efforts to expand geographically and acquire new customers, increasing the platform’s competitiveness against both established firms and cutting-edge fintech startups.
The Road Ahead
In an era where digital finance is taking center stage, Finnable appears poised to capitalize on India’s massive underpenetrated personal credit market. As salaried professionals increasingly seek convenient loan options, Finnable’s tech-first approach and strong investor backing position it well to capture market share.
The upcoming months will be critical as the company ramps up its operations and strengthens its competitive moat. With the ₹250 crore pre-Series C round nearing completion, all eyes will be on Finnable’s ability to turn investor confidence into accelerated growth and profitability.
