In a significant move that reflects the growing global investor interest in India’s credit-starved MSME sector, Infinity Fincorp Solution, a Mumbai-based non-banking lender, has secured a Rs 19.5 billion (~$230 million) investment led by Partners Group, a global private markets firm. The deal includes the acquisition of a majority stake in the company.
The funding round also saw continued support from existing backer Jungle Ventures and included a primary capital infusion of Rs 6 billion (~$70 million), along with a secondary purchase from Indium IV (Mauritius) Holdings Limited, a fund managed by Global Opportunity Advisors (Mauritius) and advised by True North Managers LLP, among other shareholders.
Founded with the vision to bridge the financing gap for underserved MSMEs in India, Infinity Fincorp has built a strong presence across eight states, operating out of 120+ branches and managing assets worth over Rs 12 billion (~$140 million). The company currently serves over 50,000 customers, many of whom are small traders, farmers, and manufacturers based in India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 towns.
Infinity plans to deploy the fresh capital to aggressively expand its physical footprint, enhance its tech stack, and streamline the onboarding and loan disbursal experience for its predominantly rural and semi-urban customers.
Speaking on the development, the company noted that India’s MSME credit gap—currently pegged at Rs 33 trillion—is growing at 16% annually, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity.
“This strategic partnership will help us scale responsibly and drive digital inclusion among India’s real economy builders,” said a spokesperson from Infinity Fincorp.
Infinity’s growth story is emblematic of broader shifts in India’s lending ecosystem—where formalization, technology, and investor trust are converging to unlock the potential of underserved entrepreneurs.
