Capital India, a financial conglomerate, has invested USD 25 million in a mix of equity & debt in Credenc, a fintech-focused on education loans. With this investment, Credenc is looking to build a loan book of $400 million by 2025.
The New Delhi-based
Credenc, founded by Avinash Kumar and Mayank Batheja in 2017, works as the digital finance desk for 1000+ colleges across 17 cities in India.
S K Narvar, promoter of Capital India, said, “The annual spend on college fees in India is around $50 billion of which organized lenders finance only 5%. With Credenc, Capital India intends to change the segment perception and reduce underwriting risk basis Credenc’s future employability score. Also, the founders will continue to run operations for Credenc as we would not want to disrupt the organization’s working and believe they know the business best.”
