Indifi Technologies, a digital financial services company, has raised ₹140 crore in a Series D equity financing led by CX Partners and OP Finnfund Global Impact Fund I (the first Finnish global emerging markets impact fund).

The existing investors — CDC Group (the UK’s development finance institution), Omidyar Network, Flourish Ventures, Elevar Equity and Accel — also invested in this round of equity capital raise.

The fintech has also raised debt financing of ₹200 crore — ₹165 crore from Vivriti, Northern Arc, SIDBI and other lenders, besides the United States International Development Finance Corporation guaranteeing ₹35 crore of funding.

Indifi operates an online lending platform for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which typically have limited access to credit from financial institutions. Indifi offers tailored loans for businesses in the travel, hotel, e-commerce, restaurant, trading, and retail segments.
