About NIRA

NIRA is an exciting fintech startup which, starting with credit, is building financial services for India's mass market.

Today, if you were to think of the largest financial brands in India, you'd think of the banks: HDFC, ICICI, Kotak etc. They all serve the richest cohort of India's society. Over the last few years some newer brands have emerged that target upwardly mobile millennials; think Slice, Moneyview, Uni Cards etc. The mass market, or Middle India, remains a white space. This is the gap that NIRA is looking to fill.

Launched in 2018, NIRA has found a very strong product market fit, and has established itself as the category leader for the mass market segment. Since the passing of Covid, the company grew quickly and achieved profitability in 2023. Last year brought some challenging headwinds, but we weathered those well and are well placed for our next phase of growth. This is a huge market, we need to go after it.

Beyond personal loans, we'll introduce both new credit and non-credit products. NIRA will become the holistic provider of financial services for Middle India.
