Indipaisa, awarded India’s fastest-growing brand starts empowering MSMEs
New Delhi (India), September 5: Indian Micro & Small-Midsized Enterprises (micro SMEs) are usually forgotten and underserved by the banks, Fintech’s, and financial institutions. Why? Because their revenues are small, their volumes are small, and they are not profitable to profit-seeking financial institutions, in most cases, banks and fintech’s have a set of solutions that are targeted at small customers. However, the price points are too expensive, and the service quality is too low.
Indipaisa (www.indipaisa.com), a Noida-based fintech brand, backed by Nexxo Ventures a Dubai-based digital banking venture firm, is India’s fastest growing brand in 2021-22, now performing in 5 states and planning to spread across PAN India by giving commercial micro banking solutions to empower MSMEs. Indipaisa’s commercial micro banking solutions are now being utilized by MSMEs in Delhi/NCR, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka which is changing the status quo and offering low-cost & high-quality financial services. These services are customized from the ground up to address the needs of Indian small business owners and operators. Indipaisa conducted more than 30,000 questionnaires to hundreds and hundreds of Indian micro businesses, then developed a Social Network powered Fintech platform offering integrated digital commercial micro banking services to under-serviced and under-banked Indian micro SMEs. Indipaisa has already opened an innovation centre in Bengaluru and plans to open another office in Mumbai as it doubles up on its efforts to reach out to MSMEs across PAN India in 2023.
