The full read
SG Finserve's loan book already sits at a record ₹4,552 crore with zero NPAs, and the company guided for ₹300 crore PBT in FY27, up 75%. This partnership with BharatPe Money and Successfully Technologies aims to add a new origination channel: digital, paperless, RBI-compliant loans for micro merchants. BharatPe's network covers over 6 crore MSMEs, a massive addressable pool. But the announcement contains no revenue or AUM targets. The near-term contribution is unclear. It's a constructive step in product innovation that could deepen the loan book, but it is early-stage. The next test will be disbursement numbers.
