PaisaDukan is an India-based peer-to-peer lending marketplace which operates digitally to emerge as an alternate way of carrying out financial activities.[1][2] It is owned by BigWin Infotech Private Limited.[3] It started its commercial operations in July 2018. PaisaDukan became the first company to receive an In-Principle approval from the Reserve Bank of India.[4][5][6]

History

PaisaDukan was founded as peer-to-peer lending platform in November 2017.[7][8][9] It was founded in Mumbai by Rajiv Ranjan and by the parent company BigWin Infotech Private Limited.[10] They raised a total of USD $825,000 from seed funding with USD $650,000 in April 2018 and $225,000 in May 2018 respectively.[5][11][12][13][14][15][16]

Business

The business model of PaisaDukan is based on peer-to-peer lending marketplace, where it handles the servicing of a loan on behalf of matched borrowers and lenders.[17][18][19] PaisaDukan.com facilitates loans from ₹5,000 (five thousand Rupees) to ₹10,00,000 (ten lakh Rupees).

However, after guidelines from RBI, only a maximum of ₹50,000 (fifty thousand Rupees) can be financed by an individual investor to an individual borrower where he can maintain a portfolio of INR 10,00,000.[20]

Corporate Identity

The company’s main office is headquartered at Udyog Bhavan, Goregaon East, Mumbai.[21] As part of their PAN India expansion, they are launching 2 more branches in Noida and Bangalore.[22]

Recognition

BigWin Infotech Private Limited got an In-Principle Approval from RBI to set up peer-to-peer lending operations as a Non-Banking Finance Company – P2P on 8th May 2018.[4][5][6][23] This announcement was an outcome of the landmark step taken by RBI to regulate the P2P lending sector with guidelines released in October 2017.

BigWin Infotech Private Limited got an approval in a quick span of 55 out of the allotted 365 days.

After upgrading company’s regulatory and operational infrastructure to meet with the standards expected by the RBI, BigWin Infotech received a Certificate of Registration (CoR) in June 2018 to launch its financial platform – PaisaDukan.com.[24][25]

They have been awarded the Fastest Growing Indian Company Excellence Award at the 11th on Global Business Opportunities on 29th September, 2018.

They are ranked among top 30 emerging P2P companies from India.[26]
