Business Segment: Micro and Small Enterprises (MSE)

Fuelling the firepower of grassroots entrepreneurship

India’s Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) segment has now emerged as one of the principal economy drivers, contributing to 30% of the national GDP. The Government of India now plans to enhance the contribution of GDP to approximately 40%. We are committed to partnering this vision - handhold entrepreneurial ambitions, and also help create largescale employment in the country.

During the year, we crossed ₹1,000 Crores Portfolio milestone and 13,000+ customers. We achieved this in only four years since the launch of this segment.

FORAY INTO SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE THROUGH FINTECH PARTNERSHIP

We entered into a collaboration with a fintech partner, Desiderata Impact Ventures Private Limited (Progcap) for end-to-end digitised invoice-based financing services and repayments for loan applications received from Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise (MSME) units seeking small tenor working capital for their businesses. With this partnership, Ujjivan SFB has ventured into a new avenue of lending namely Supply Chain Finance to fund dealers and sub-dealers against purchases made from recognised brands through short-term overdraft facility. The entire lending process, right from the lead generation, lead screening, loan sanctioning, document execution and customer on-boarding and repayments has been digitised through Progcap’s data-driven tech platform.
