ABOUT COMPANY:
CAGL is a leading Indian micro-finance institution headquartered in Bengaluru, focused on providing joint liability group (JLG) loans and micro-loans primarily to women customers predominantly in rural areas in India. According to MFIN India, it is the largest NBFC- MFI in India in terms of the gross loan portfolio as of March 2022. The company offers a diverse suite of lending products that cater to the critical needs of customers throughout their life cycle and includes income generation, healthcare, education, festival celebration, home improvement, water, and sanitation. CAGL believes that its customer-centric business model, a wide range of product offerings, as well as well-designed product delivery and collection systems, have enabled it to achieve high customer retention rates and low credit costs. It focuses predominantly on customers in Rural areas in India, who largely lack access to the formal banking sector and present a latent opportunity for offering micro-loans.
Its products are built on a deep understanding of the requirements of customers (especially customers from rural areas) developed over years and the flexibility of its products (in terms of ticket sizes, end-uses, and repayment options) and the manner of their delivery, which are key factors that differentiate CAGL from competitors and generates customer loyalty.
The company also provides retail finance products to existing individual customers who have demonstrated high entrepreneurial capacity, have graduated from the JLG model and are capable of borrowing larger loans in their individual capacity, against collateral. These loans are mainly offered to customers to establish a new enterprise or expand their existing business, meet their working capital requirements, and purchase inventories, machinery, two-wheelers, etc. It also provides supplementary loans as additional short-term credit facilities to customers who require working capital for business, livestock maintenance, home improvement needs, or for any other consumption purposes. CAGL has also started providing mortgage loans to non-customers in the geographies it operates through Retail Finance branches. It has followed a strategy of contiguous district-based expansion across regions. It believes that the acquisition of MMFL in Fiscal 2020 also helped with geographical diversification and deeper rural penetration. As of September 30, 2022, CAGL has a presence in 333 districts in the 14 states (Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Goa, Bihar, Jharkhand, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and West Bengal) and one union territory (Puducherry) in India through 1,684 branches and 16,018 employees, serving an active consolidated customer base of 38.0 lakhs, as of September 30, 2022.
