Poonawalla Fincorp rallies on launching shopkeeper loan business

Poonawalla Fincorp added 2.51% to Rs 353.65 after the company announced the launch of its shopkeeper loan business.

The solution addresses key financial challenges faced by small retailers and kirana stores, including cash flow, inventory, and customer management, while enhancing their operational efficiencies.

By combining our risk-first and customer-centric approach, we aim to empower these businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive retail environment.
