Seeds Fincap has secured $8.5 million in Series A funding led by Lok Capital and Z47 (formerly Matrix Partners India ).

The funds will enable Seeds Fincap, a non-banking financial company (NBFC) founded in 2021, to expand its lending capabilities, enhance its technological infrastructure, and broaden its branch footprint, the company said in a statement.

"MSMEs in India continue to be under-served on credit, often overlooked by incumbent financial institutions.

Ltd said in a statement.

"MSME credit represents a massive opportunity in India as we scale towards becoming a $10 trillion economy, and is essential to that goal.
