Lendingkart expands to over 450 cities, expects to double its reach in six months

India's leading online platform Lendingkart on Thursday announced expanding its reach to 462 cities across the country by disbursing over 6500 loans in small towns and cities across India.

Lendingkart Group NBFC has covered 27 states in the country and is truly driving financial inclusion for thousands of people in the SME space. With over 100 channel partners supporting Lendingkart Finance's effort, the endeavor is to reach out to 10,000 businesses in the SME space in next 6 months.

While the Government of India through its various initiatives is focusing on financial inclusion for people at the bottom of the pyramid, the country is still far from achieving its true potential.

"Lendingkart Group was started with the sole motive of offering easy and convenient financing options to the large Indian SME sector that does not have access to easy credit. Over 1.0 lakh borrowers have reached out to Lendingkart Finance for their credit needs in the last one year alone. We are extremely happy with the way things have progressed for Lendingkart Finance, every passing day we are one step closer to bringing financial inclusion for many underserved borrowers," said co-Founder and CEO Lendingkart Technologies, Harshvardhan Lunia.

"Today we are proud to say that we evaluate a new application every five minutes and a loan is disbursed every 15 minutes in our system," added Lunia.
