Debt marketplace Yubi has taken a decisive step toward its global ambitions by raising ₹411 crore in a fresh funding round. The capital infusion combines a structured debt facility from EvolutionX Debt Capital and ₹75 crore in fresh equity from founder and CEO Gaurav Kumar. With this, Kumar’s personal investment in the company has now crossed ₹330 crore—reflecting rare founder-level conviction at a time when fintech funding worldwide remains cautious and highly selective.
This latest funding marks a pivotal moment for Yubi as it prepares to extend its India-tested digital debt rails across continents.

Founder’s Strong Bet Signals Long-Term Confidence
Gaurav Kumar’s additional ₹75-crore equity investment stands out as one of the strongest internal endorsements the company has seen so far. In an era where founders often dilute aggressively or step back from fresh investments, Kumar’s move signals two things: unwavering belief in Yubi’s mission and confidence in the company’s ability to scale profitably.
Speaking on the development, Kumar emphasized that the funding will help Yubi “replicate its India success in international markets” and supercharge the evolution of its proprietary AI stack, which underpins credit discovery, risk assessment, and transaction workflows.
This injection of personal capital is also likely to boost external investor trust, creating renewed momentum for Yubi’s next phase of growth.
EvolutionX Leads the Structured Debt Component
A substantial portion of the raise comes from EvolutionX Debt Capital, a Temasek- and DBS-backed platform known for backing high-potential growth-stage tech companies across Asia. Their involvement highlights the increasing institutional appetite for tech-driven infrastructure plays within the financial services sector.
Rahul Shah, partner at EvolutionX, lauded Yubi for demonstrating “remarkable scale, robust technology and a clear path to profitability”—all key factors behind the firm’s commitment. For EvolutionX, Yubi fits squarely into its thesis of supporting category-defining companies with strong fundamentals and global expansion trajectories.
India-Built Debt Marketplace with Massive Scale
Yubi—formerly known as CredAvenue—operates as a full-stack digital debt infrastructure platform, connecting enterprises of all sizes with lenders and fixed-income investors. The company has rapidly emerged as a central node in India’s credit ecosystem.
So far, the platform has:
-
Facilitated more than ₹3.2 trillion in credit
-
Processed over 3.5 crore transactions
-
Onboarded 17,000+ enterprises
-
Enabled participation from 6,200+ lenders and investors
These numbers demonstrate not only the scale Yubi has achieved domestically but also the robustness of the technology behind its marketplace. Backed by investors such as Peak XV, Insight Partners, Lightspeed, B Capital, Dragoneer, and TVS Capital Funds, Yubi is already counted among the most influential players in the Indian fintech space.
AI and New Markets at the Heart of the Next Phase
A key portion of the freshly raised funds will go into strengthening Yubi’s AI-driven credit infrastructure—a technological backbone that streamlines credit discovery, underwriting, document management, compliance workflows, and risk modeling.
With the global financial ecosystem rapidly moving toward automation and data-driven decision-making, Yubi aims to position its AI-led infrastructure as a cross-border solution. The company is betting that markets across Southeast Asia, the US, and the Middle East—regions where digital debt infrastructure remains underdeveloped—will benefit from the plug-and-play scalability of Yubi’s systems.
The expansion plan includes:
-
Establishing deeper operations in Southeast Asia
-
Scaling presence across the Middle East
-
Setting up a footprint in the United States
-
Deploying advanced AI models for credit workflows

Positioning for Global Leadership
With the combination of founder-led confidence, institutional backing, and proven technology, Yubi is gearing up to transform from an India-focused marketplace to a global debt infrastructure provider. Its mission is clear: extend India-built credit rails to the world and become the backbone for lending markets across geographies.
The fresh ₹411-crore raise marks not just an expansion push, but a bold attempt to redefine how credit flows in emerging and developed markets alike.
