Finova Capital has raised $65 million from Norwest Venture Partners, Maj Invest and Faering Capital.

The loans are customised to the needs of its target segment of small service providers, manufacturers and retailers.

Founded in 2016 by Mohit Sahney and Sunita Sahney, Finova Capital has 180 branches across eight states. It has 20,000 plus customers and over Rs 1,000 crore loan book. “Finova plans to expand to its neighbouring regions, using and building its internal domain knowledge and processes,” the company said.
