Godrej Capital’s entry in affordable housing and unsecured business lending will further expand credit availability to the target segments. Partners like us and the real estate sector in general tend to benefit from such offerings and we look forward to the innovation that Godrej Capital will bring to the market.”
Rahul Soota, Executive Director, MyMoneyMantra, added, “An increase in demand for housing finance across segments and the related shift to virtual engagements due to pandemic related restrictions has resulted in contactless engagements across the entire consumer cycle. Godrej Capital would play an important role in mobilizing funds through their proprietary technology and data driven approach across consumer segments. Coupled with Godrej Group’s legacy of trust and service delivery, the product offering from Godrej Capital will greatly benefit all their business partners and end users alike.”
