Launched in 2008, Swadhaar FinServe Pvt. Ltd. (“Swadhaar”) is a Non-Banking Finance Company engaging in urban microfinance. Headquartered in Mumbai, Swadhaar is among the earliest initiatives aimed at providing financial services to India’s economically active urban poor.
Prior to launching Swadhaar FinServe, Swadhaar’s promoters established a non-profit entity, Swadhaar FinAccess (SFA), in 2005. Although Swadhaar’s founders began microcredit activities under SFA, the organisation transferred its lending portfolio to Swadhaar FinServe in 2008. SFA now focuses solely on credit-plus products and services, including financial education, insurance and savings facilitation.
