Vridhi Home Finance has raised ₹310 crore in its latest funding round, backed by Norwest Venture Partners and other significant investors. The funding will enable the company to bolster its lending capabilities, particularly within the affordable housing sector, aligning with India's growing demand for accessible home financing options for low- and middle-income segments. With this investment, Vridhi aims to strengthen its position in the housing finance market by expanding its geographical reach and enhancing its digital lending infrastructure.

The substantial backing from Norwest and other partners reflects investor confidence in the growth potential of India’s housing finance market, especially within underserved and affordable segments.
