213: Meet the Founders of Finnable: ₹3,000 Cr Phygital Lending Powerhouse | Zero to Infinity
Update: 2025-06-27
Description
India’s largest creditworthy segment remains invisible to the lending ecosystem, not because of a credit problem, but because of a design problem.
When every lender chased the top tier or flooded the informal market, Finnable saw an opportunity to build for the 60–70% in between: salaried, PF-backed Indians earning ₹15–40K a month.
Join co-founders Amit Arora and Nitin Gupta on the Z47 podcast as they trace their vision behind building a full-stack, risk-first, and collections-led lending engine—designed to scale, but built customer-backward.
The duo, in conversation with the Z47 team, reflect on the decisions that shaped the company: from making collections the third hire, to designing 200+ fraud algorithms rooted in field intelligence.
Understand why their model went against the industry wave, offering longer-tenure, higher-ticket loans designed for credit discipline and repeatability.
When COVID hit, their customers didn’t default. They returned. That resilience validated the model across cycles, powering a ₹3,000 crore book & pointing to a lending business quietly built for public markets.
