We are elated to partner with U GRO Capital with a shared vision to bridge the MSME credit gap in India by providing credit access to the unserved and underserved sectors in the country.”
Commenting on the development, Shachindra Nath, Vice Chairman and Managing Director, U GRO Capital, said,“With our data-tech approach, we were able to head-start co-lending partnerships with top national banks. What started as an experiment, co-lending, has gathered momentum and acceptance across the industry. The scale of big Banks combined with the agility and reach of nimble partnerships is going to be the bedrock of the transition of the lending industry. With Yubi’s tech-enabled credit infrastructure, we’ll be able to fast-track our initiatives to reach our mission of ‘solving the unsolved’ for the MSMEs.”
The co-lending or co-origination initiated by RBI provides a framework for the collaboration of two financial institutions, such as a bank and an NBFC, to finance the customer’s needs jointly. With the low-cost funds of a Bank and the on-ground capabilities-sourcing and servicing expertise of an NBFC, this alliance leverages the strengths of both the lenders, making this a winning proposition for all the stakeholders. With easy match-making and partnerships being stitched by Yubi, loan processing becomes seamless. With NBFCs/HFCs/Fintechs, U GRO Capital can track their investment on YubiCo.Lend.
