Gurugram-based non-banking financial company (NBFC) Seeds Fincap has raised Rs 50 crore in a funding round led by existing investors Z47 and Lok Capital.

Subhash Chandra Acharya, Managing Director and Co-Founder of Seeds Fincap says, “We see MSME lending not just as financing, but as enabling India’s economic backbone. Our approach—combining advanced analytics, strong field control, and full-stack digitization—allows us to lend responsibly at scale. This round is a strong validation of our model and positions us well for our upcoming Series B.”

Avishek Sarkar, Director and Co-Founder of Seeds Fincap says, "Serving MSMEs means solving complexity with empathy. We’ve built a culture of execution and contextual intelligence, and we’re seeing that translate into real outcomes on the ground. This funding allows us to continue deepening our reach, expanding our product suite, and scaling responsibly.”

The company has demonstrated consistent execution across metrics and we are excited to double down and deepen our partnership. We welcome Norinchukin and Alteria to the cap table and wish Subhash and Avishek godspeed for the next phase of growth.”

Their ability to bring underserved MSMEs into the fold of formal finance—sustainably and at scale—is what makes them stand out. We’re excited to continue partnering with them on this journey.”
