The startup will utilize the funds to strengthen its product and scale up its operations. "We have had a great journey so far in understanding the industry pain points and addressing them by building a platform that works to the advantage of all three stakeholders of the digital lending ecosystem: borrowers, lenders and financial advisors. With this round of investment, we will be taking our product to the next level and onboarding more lenders and financial advisors on our platform," said Aabhas Tripathi, co-founder, Paisagrowth.

Paisagrowth claims to work on the education and branding of these advisors continuously to help them become more successful.

For its lending partners, the company offloads a good chunk of their operational burden through the smart journey, filtering and matchmaking process from the data points of borrowers, which in turn provides lenders with completed applications they can easily qualify and roll out a loan offer to.
