The company, which has a presence across 12 Indian cities, and envisages deeper penetration in the markets, will use the fresh funding to continue planning its steady credit quality-led growth and focus on the retail-lending segment to achieve 70 percent composition by March 2020.

Further adding to the statement, Clix stated: “The company believes the current liquidity squeeze in the lending space is likely to present additional opportunities of selective acquisitions.”

“I’m delighted at the latest infusion of the funds, which reinstates our confidence and trust in Clix’s potential, We believe that despite the current economic scenario, India represents a huge opportunity in the long-term,” Pramod added.
