Rupeek, India's leading online gold loan platform, has raised INR 200 crores in primary funding.
The Rainmaker Group acted as the exclusive financial advisor on the transaction.
"It was an absolute pleasure having TRMG as our banker on our recent capital raise. KP and KC have been a great sounding board at critical junctures of the fundraise process and overall ran a tight process to close the round. We are grateful for their partnership" said Sumit Maniyar, Founder Rupeek on the transaction
Kashyap Parikh, partner at The Rainmaker Group said “ Gold has been the natural hedge against both inflation and recession the world over. Indian households own over USD 2 trillion worth gold - most of which is locked up and not monetised. Rupeek is the pioneer and runaway market leader in technology driven, easy and convenient monetisation of gold to power small businesses and households in a dignified way. We’ve been privileged to be the partner in arms with Sumit and the Rupeek team over the last half a decade on this mission as they build India’s largest secured lending platform.”
