The fintech firm has set a target of scaling up its green financing loan portfolio to Rs 400 crore and growing its total assets under management (AUM) to Rs 1,000 crore by FY25. Retail customers and commercial ventures can avail loans up to Rs 50 lakh and Rs 2 crore, respectively.

Our goal is to provide a solar power system with a quicker payoff time, and ensure our customers get the highest quality solar system with the best return on their investment.”
