What happened

FlexiLoans, an MSME business and supply-chain lender, targets a ₹10,000 crore book within three years from over ₹3,000 crore AUM, relying on bank co-lending,

Key facts

  • ₹3,000 crore assets under management
  • ₹10,000 crore book-size target
  • ₹25 trillion MSME credit gap
  • 100+ embedded partnerships
  • 62% of borrowers from Tier II-IV markets

Why this matters

FlexiLoans’ planned scale-up could widen fast, embedded credit access for smaller retailers and suppliers, especially across Tier II-IV markets, but borrowers should assess pricing and lender-partner reliability.

What to watch

  • Quarterly AUM growth, disbursal growth and the share of co-lending-funded originations.
  • GNPA, net credit losses, collection efficiency and restructuring trends in unsecured and merchant loan cohorts.
  • Number, scale and retention of bank co-lending partners, including any changes in partner underwriting criteria.
  • Growth in embedded-finance partners and the conversion rate of eligible merchants into borrowers.
  • RBI digital-lending, outsourcing, first-loss-default-guarantee and data-use rule implementation.
