Gaurav Hinduja, Co-Founder & MD, Capital Float said, “We are happy to have witnessed such rapid growth in our customer base over a short period of time. Our digital finance platform has brought millions of Indians closer to formal credit lines, many of whom have been traditionally underserved. Our ‘Buy Now Pay Later’ offering has emerged as a popular choice for millennial Indians in the 25-40 years age group, who make up nearly 70 percent of our customer base and favour simple, transparent, and contextual digital-first financial products. These customers represent the next frontier for financial services, as nearly 50% of them don’t possess credit cards, 40% had never taken a personal loan before, and over half reside in non-metro cities. Apart from the widespread adoption of our buy now pay later offering, we’re seeing exceptional repayment behaviour as well. We ended FY21 with a collection efficiency of over 96%.”
