FinAGG was founded in 2019 and claims to be one of the leading innovators in the MSME Cash Flow financing space.

Rapidly becoming a premier partner to blue-chip companies in FMCG, consumer electronics, and building materials, FinAGG gains access to millions of Indian MSMEs. Our collaboration with FinAGG is aimed at enhancing financial service accessibility, propelling growth, and fortifying the resilience of the vulnerable MSME sector in India," said Mahesh Joshi, head of private equity investments- Asia at BlueOrchard.
