Innovating Its Way to Success
On July 20th, 2021, the Indian Parliament passed legislation to liberalize NBFCs’ participation in the factoring business. With this amendment, PinCap is very well placed to enable investors & innovative fintech to capture the market. While commenting on the new development, Praveen Sinha, says “India’s adoption rate for fintech products stands at 59%, which is the second-highest pace worldwide & this gives not only smart Indian companies and startups but also global fintech companies to enter into this space. I am glad that the Parliament has done this, as international trade continues to increase, the opportunities for the factoring industry are growing at a similar pace.”

Amit Pandey, CEO of PinCap, states “India’s supply chain has a huge appetite to grow which is restricted by the availability of credit. We at Pincap are trying to build solutions using technology (Alternative Data, AI, Fraud Detection, Invoice Validation, etc.) that can be customized as per the client’s requirement. Our solution varies from channel finance, distributor to dealer finance, invoice discounting. I am surprised to continuously get so many inquiries from my network for supply chain finance”
Globally, the Indian Fintech ecosystem is 3rd largest and has attracted the most private capital in India after e-commerce over the past 5 years. Indian FinTech companies have raised approximately USD 10 Bn & FinTech sector valuation is expected to reach USD 150-160 Bn. The growth of individuals and several small and medium enterprises in India is hindered because banks and organized finance companies do not find it feasible to fund them. The company has many innovative startups with amazing and capable founders, focused on the need of underserved & underfunded segments in India who don’t have the financial records or data as per the requirement of conventional financing systems.

It understands that the digital partners have immense geographical reach with the best available technical algorithms.
