10 Jun 2025 CW Team

The solution is designed to meet the evolving credit needs of MSMEs across India’s Tier 1, 2, and 3 cities in sectors such as retail, services, manufacturing, and trade. Business Loan 24/7 operates on a Straight Through Processing (STP) model, offering a seamless, paperless experience that removes the need for physical documentation or branch visits. This fully digital journey ensures simplicity, speed, and security for self-employed professionals and small businesses.

PFL’s proprietary digital risk assessment framework integrates with India’s public digital infrastructure—including GST systems, credit bureaus, and account aggregators—to accurately assess borrower profiles using real-time financial data from credible sources. This strengthens credit evaluation beyond traditional metrics, enabling responsible and calibrated lending to high-potential enterprises.

Speaking on the launch, Mr. Arvind Kapil, MD & CEO of Poonawalla Fincorp, said: “India’s USD 4 trillion economy will see MSMEs as a key growth engine over the next decade. Our digital-first model, backed by robust financial infrastructure and analytics, will allow us to serve this segment effectively while managing risk. Business Loan 24/7 is a first-of-its-kind offering for good-quality MSMEs seeking convenient and credible access to finance.”

This launch follows the earlier success of PFL’s 24/7 digital loan offering for salaried professionals. With this new MSME-focused solution, PFL aims to build a competitive edge through technology-led lending and aims to steadily scale the product in a risk-calibrated manner over the next four to six quarters.

By integrating cutting-edge technology with its core lending strategy, PFL positions itself to become a leading provider of MSME finance in India, supporting entrepreneurs in scaling operations while upholding prudent credit practices.
