Mandeep Chaudhary,Vineet Gupta& Thomas Varghese,Co- FoundersBanking has evolved for centuries and is continuously improving to provide right credit and deposit products. Credit needs assessment and assessment needs understanding of the customer, which is an expense. Where the understanding is fast, financial institutions have provided automated solutions as for consumers or individuals. For individuals, there are instant credit solutions as data is readily available for decision making while for big corporates, the whole process is manual and detailed. The challenge is with small and medium companies, where the assessment is costly and there are no available products for short term loans, as interest component is very low. KNAB Finance Advisors noticed this huge gap in the market leading to MSMEs being under served due to technical parameters related to credit eligibility and assessment.“Our vision at Knowledge Asset Based (KNAB) Finance is to work towards filling the lending gap on working capital for the micro and small enterprises
in India. Our aim is that all worthy companies get adequate and timely tranches of finance, to continue on their growth path,” speaks Mandeep Chaudhary, Co-Founder, KNAB Finance Advisors.
