Expanding Footprint and Operational Highlights

Purple Finance has expanded its operational reach to include 24 branches across Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and recently Uttar Pradesh, with a dedicated team of nearly 200 on the ground. With over 750 customers and INR 40 crore in disbursements to date, Purple Finance remains focused on supporting unorganized nano enterprises in Tier III and IV towns, primarily targeting the rural and semi-urban populations. The loans, typically in the range of INR 5 to INR 7 lakhs, are fully secured by self-occupied properties, ensuring safety and reliability.

This event not only boosts Purple Finance’s visibility but also underscores the importance of tailored financial solutions for small enterprises, which are often underserved by traditional banking channels.
