NeoGrowth

Founded in 2012 by Dhruv Khaitan and Piyush Khaitan, NeoGrowth is a non-banking financial company offering cash advance loans to small and medium businesses in India.

Rather then relying on traditional credit scoring, which many small to medium businesses in India lack, NeoGrowth analyzes data from point-of-sale data for customer turnover.The digitally underwritten loans are unsecured and borrowers can set up automatic payment schedules..
