Ananya Finance For Inclusive Growth Private Limited (Ananya) is an NBFC established in 2009 by Friends of Women’s World Banking – India (FWWB) with the goal of supporting microfinance institutions (MFIs) and grassroots entities. Despite facing challenges such as the Andhra Pradesh Microfinance crisis in 2010, Ananya has shown resilience, recording a net profit in 2015 and achieving a loan portfolio of Rs. 152 Crore by the end of the financial year in 2018.
Ananya has a diverse lending portfolio covering Microfinance and Agribusiness segments, having served prominent MFIs and SFBs such as Bandhan, Janalakshmi, Ujjivan, and Suryoday. The company maintains a strong borrower base diversified across banks, financial institutions, and NBFCs.
Despite being a for-profit entity, Ananya remains impact-focused, aiming to uplift those deprived of economic resources and contribute to improving their living standards. Ananya plans to play a role in sector-building in the aforementioned areas.
The company received a $3.00M Series A investment on 05 November 2013 from IDBI Bank and WWB Isis Fund. Ananya's dedication to social responsibility and its steady growth in the challenging financial landscape makes it a compelling prospect for potential investment.
