Commenting on the results, Mr. Shachindra Nath, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of UGRO Capital said, “We scaled our business, reached the INR 5,000 Cr AUM milestone, and met our FY23 off book AUM guidance a quarter ahead of schedule thanks to our unwavering focus on our core competencies, extensive use of data analytics in decision-making, and widespread acceptance in the banking and MSME industries. Our Q3’23 results, with the highest ever disbursement and improved profitability, demonstrate our unwavering commitment to growth. We continue to make progress towards the company’s core profitability on QoQ basis.
We have already assisted over 38,000 MSMEs and disbursed over INR 10,500 crores. Taking the pandemic into account, we reached this level in about 2.5 years, beginning in April of 2019. This is incomparable, especially when compared to our overall credit performance, which is industry leading. Our underwriting model, GRO Score 3.0, is being upgraded to derive power insights and better underwrite the MSME segment, and we will soon launch a credit line on UPI for small businesses.”
