With every passing year as India reaches 5Trillion Dollar formal GDP size in next few years, the financial space will come with myriad challenges. Vigilant customer centric and technology powered platforms that open a perfect gateway to boost Banks & NBFC lending are needed.The clock is ticking for financial service providers in India to correct the past scams, NPAs and pathetic credit off take stifling SME progress.

Optimistic about the future, Bangalore -based Funds Tiger.com has taken charge and built a fortress in the financial ecosystem. Launched on Republic Day,26th January 2016, the company started to democratize finance for all Indian citizens by revolutionizing the way unsecured loans are being delivered to MSMEs and Retail borrowers.

"When it comes to making good credit worthiness judgments, there is a bit of a slack in the banking system,” asserts Neelam Dwivedi,Co-Founder & CEO, Funds Tiger. Often, Banks provide loans to people who belong to a higher status of the society and already have collaterals. Banks fail to cater to service sector, SME owners and

employees, who are equally honest and credit worthy. Banks use obsolete and slow methods and broken silo systems leading to colossal failures and NPAs. “You need a robust technology platform which is accurate, simple and fast. And, that is where FundsTiger comes into the picture to accelerate lending and avoid the potential mishaps,” avers Vikram Verma,Co-Founder & CTO,FundsTiger.
