Fintech company BharatPe Friday said it aims to disburse loans worth over Rs 70 crore this year. Within the current month, small- and mid-sized shopkeepers are expected to avail loans worth over Rs 7 crore from the platform, a statement said.

The company has partnered with Apollo Finvest for the initiative, it added.
