Fusion Microfinance has raised equity capital of ₹500 crore from a new round of funding, led by a Warburg Pincus-affiliate and Creation Investments, both of whom are existing investors in the NBFC-MFI.
While the Warburg Pincus-affiliate has pumped in ₹360 crore, the remaining ₹140 crore has come from Creation Investments.
Devesh Sachdev, CEO and Founder, Fusion Microfinance, said: “The follow-up investment by Warburg Pincus and Creation Investment reflects their faith in Fusion’s ability to harness rural India’s incredible growth story.
Fusion has been among the faster growing companies in the sector over the last few years and is committed to maintaining a steady and sustainable pace at a much larger scale in the next 3 to 5 years. Building forth on a strong operating platform and strategic initiatives, we are well placed to become a valued company in the financial inclusion space.”
Narendra Ostawal, Managing Director, Warburg Pincus, said the follow-on investment by existing investors will help expand the capital base to support Fusion’s growth plans. “We continue to be impressed with the management team and look forward to supporting them in their endeavours.”
