“FlexiLoans.com is now poised to enter the next phase of its growth journey that we have clearly crafted on the lines of Profitability, Growth and Risk Control. We chose to accept this bid over other term sheets we had from a few institutional investors, given the long term nature of this capital,” said Deepak Jain, co-founder of FlexiLoans.com in a statement.

The startup was also one of the four Indian startups to be named in the global ‘Emerging 50’ FinTechs, according to a report released by KPMG in collaboration with H2 Ventures.
