Who We Are

We are not yet another online offer comparison site. While we do give you the most exhaustive range of options, we do the last mile and get you the loan also. We strongly believe that financial services is not like an ecommerce business where products are standardized and hence the cheaper the better.

Every borrower has a unique financial position and requirement. Hence, we always have a dedicated sales manager to advise you on the best bank to choose, do the initial documentation, answer bank queries on your behalf, negotiate on your behalf, complete the loan documentation and ensure disbursal to your account.

We are able to do this because we have strong in house team of 200 people spread across 12 cities. The senior management consists of people who have held leadership roles with banks/NBFC’s like Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank, Bajaj Finserve, GE Money etc. It is entirely due to the efforts of our loyal employees (attrition of less than 5% over the last 4 years) that we are currently disbursing more than 1,000 cr annually within a short company lifespan of 4 years

We have embarked on an exciting journey to make the process even simpler and streamlined for the customer. We are in the process of developing proprietary algorithms which can help us in giving the customer a more incisive suggestion on the best product/bank to choose from.
