InCred Holdings Limited is a technology-driven financial services company that operates one of India's fastest-growing diversified non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) through its wholly owned subsidiary, InCred Financial Services Limited (IFSL). Established with the vision of making credit more accessible, efficient and customer-centric, InCred Holdings combines technology, data analytics and disciplined risk management to deliver lending solutions across retail, education, business and institutional segments. The company has built a diversified lending platform that caters to individuals, students, entrepreneurs, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and financial institutions, positioning itself as a comprehensive financial solutions provider in India's rapidly evolving credit ecosystem.
InCred Holdings has adopted a retail-focused business model that balances growth with prudent risk management. Rather than depending on a single lending category, the company has developed multiple loan verticals including personal loans, student loans, secured business loans, specialised MSME and mid-corporate financing, and lending solutions for financial institutions. This diversified product mix enables InCred Holdings to serve a broad spectrum of borrowers while reducing concentration risk and creating multiple avenues for sustainable growth. According to the CRISIL Report referenced in the UDRHP, InCred Holdings was India's fastest-growing diversified NBFC in terms of Profit After Tax (PAT) CAGR and the second fastest-growing diversified NBFC in terms of Assets Under Management (AUM) CAGR between FY2023 and FY2025.
The lending portfolio of InCred Holdings is designed to address different financing requirements across customer segments. Personal loans represent the company's largest business vertical, serving salaried professionals and self-employed individuals with unsecured credit solutions. Student loans support higher education aspirations by financing domestic and international education, while secured business loans and specialised MSME financing provide capital to entrepreneurs and growing businesses. In addition, the company extends structured funding solutions to financial institutions, creating a well-diversified lending franchise that spans both retail and institutional markets. As of December 31, 2025, InCred Holdings managed Assets Under Management (AUM) of approximately ₹14,448 crore, with personal loans accounting for 55.56% of the portfolio, followed by student loans at 22.15%, secured business loans at 8.74%, specialised MSME lending at 7.83%, and lending to financial institutions at 5.55%.
A key differentiator for InCred Holdings is its technology-first operating model. The company has built an integrated digital platform that supports the complete lending lifecycle-from customer acquisition and credit assessment to loan disbursement, servicing, collections and customer support. Advanced data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, workflow automation and API-driven architecture enable faster underwriting, improved risk assessment and efficient decision-making. The company's technology infrastructure also incorporates scorecard-based credit evaluation systems, automated verification processes and predictive analytics, helping improve operational efficiency while delivering a seamless digital borrowing experience.
InCred Holdings has also established a strong omnichannel distribution model that combines digital platforms with an extensive physical presence and strategic partnerships. Customers can access financial products through the InCred mobile application, website, branch network, direct sales teams and partner ecosystem, allowing the company to reach borrowers across urban and semi-urban India. As of December 31, 2025, InCred Holdings operated 158 branches across 19 states and union territories, employed 2,980 professionals, served customers across more than 17,000 PIN codes, and had an installed mobile application user base exceeding 4.5 lakh users. This diversified distribution strategy enhances customer accessibility while supporting scalable expansion across multiple geographies.
Products and Services Offered by InCred Holdings
InCred Holdings has built a diversified lending platform that caters to multiple customer segments instead of relying on a single product category. This diversified business model enables the company to balance growth opportunities with risk management while addressing India's expanding credit demand across retail, education, MSMEs and financial institutions.
Personal Loans
Personal loans form the largest business vertical of InCred Holdings and account for over half of its Assets Under Management (AUM). These unsecured loans are primarily offered to salaried professionals and self-employed individuals for meeting personal financial requirements such as medical emergencies, travel, home renovation, weddings, education and debt consolidation.

Student Loans
Education financing represents one of InCred Holdings' fastest-growing businesses.

These loans cover tuition fees, accommodation expenses, living costs and other education-related expenditures.
Student lending allows the company to participate in India's expanding higher education market while serving borrowers with long-term earning potential. Through customised repayment structures and technology-enabled loan processing, InCred aims to simplify access to education financing.
Student loans accounted for 22.15% of total Assets Under Management as of December 31, 2025.
Secured Business Loans
InCred Holdings offers secured business loans to entrepreneurs and businesses seeking working capital, expansion funding and business development finance. These loans are backed by collateral, allowing the company to maintain relatively lower credit risk while serving India's growing small business ecosystem.
Digital applications, account aggregator integration and automated document verification help reduce manual processes and improve turnaround times for borrowers.
Specialised MSME and Mid-Corporate Lending
Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) continue to remain underserved by traditional banking channels. InCred Holdings addresses this opportunity through specialised lending solutions designed for MSMEs and mid-sized businesses.
These products are supported by customised underwriting frameworks, industry-specific risk assessment models and relationship-based servicing. The company believes this segment offers significant long-term growth potential as formalisation of Indian businesses continues to increase.
Specialised MSME loans represented 7.83% of the company's AUM as of December 31, 2025.
Lending to Financial Institutions
Apart from retail borrowers, InCred Holdings also provides funding solutions to financial institutions including Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). These institutional lending products diversify the company's revenue streams while strengthening relationships within India's financial ecosystem.
Lending to financial institutions accounted for 5.55% of total AUM as of December 31, 2025.
Technology-Driven Lending Platform
Technology lies at the core of InCred Holdings' business strategy. Rather than using technology merely as a support function, the company has developed an integrated digital platform that powers almost every stage of the lending lifecycle.
Its proprietary platform supports:
* Customer onboarding
* Digital KYC verification
* Credit assessment
* Loan underwriting
* Loan disbursement
* Customer servicing
* Collections
* Risk monitoring

* Risk-based pricing
* Customer segmentation
* Co-borrower requirements where applicable
* Escrow mechanisms
* Credit guarantee coverage for eligible products
* Continuous portfolio monitoring
* Early warning systems
* Centralised collections
Rather than applying uniform lending criteria across all products, the company customises underwriting policies based on the unique risk characteristics of each borrower segment. This helps balance growth with credit quality.
Multi-Channel Distribution Network
To expand customer reach, InCred Holdings follows a multi-channel distribution strategy instead of relying solely on digital lending.
Its customer acquisition channels include:
* Mobile application
* Web platform
* Branch network
* Direct sales teams

* Service provider ecosystem
As of December 31, 2025, the company had:
