Our biggest milestone to date ✨💜 It feels surreal to say it, but here we are $2 billion in disbursements across the globe! From starting with absolutely nothing and no partners in 2018 to hitting this incredible milestone with our partners in 2024. It’s been a journey full of hard work, dedication, and a shared vision to make financial services accessible to those who need them most. 2018: $0 in disbursements ⬇️ 2019: $20 million in disbursements ⬇️ 2023: $1 billion in disbursements ⬇️ 2024: $2 billion in disbursements Together we’ve seen $1 billion in disbursements over the past year alone. That’s a massive leap, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering commitment of so many people – our amazing team, our partners, and most importantly, the communities we work with every day. This milestone isn’t just a number for us; it’s about the small businesses we’ve helped grow, the entrepreneurs we’ve empowered, and the doors we’ve opened for countless individuals seeking to better their lives. Every single dollar disbursed represents a dream supported, a community uplifted, and a step forward toward financial inclusion. To everyone who’s been a part of this journey – THANK YOU. We’re deeply grateful for your trust, your belief in our mission, and your tireless efforts to bring this vision to life. Together, we’re building something truly impactful, and we can’t wait to continue this journey with you. Here’s to even greater things ahead! 🙏 #milestone #thankyou #financialinclusion #Empowerment #globalimpact

We offer weather-related index insurance to safeguard against unpredictable rainfall, as well as credit life and hospital cash insurance for additional financial security. Furthermore, our advanced AgTech Solutions for crop monitoring and weather prediction equip farmers with vital tools to improve their farming practices. We also look forward  to implementing the project in partnership with FPOs and conducting financial awareness campaigns to benefit farmers across Tamil Nadu. This initiative will help us understand how farmers adopt digital solutions, and the feedback we gather will be essential for refining our offerings to enhance efficiency and resilience in agriculture. Together, we intend to drive meaningful change in the farming community and pave the way for a more sustainable future. #Agritech #FinancialInclusion #DigitalTransformation #SustainableFarming #FarmerEmpowerment #payAgri #SCBF #FederalBank #TNFarmers #MicroSaveConsulting #CropMonitoring #WeatherIndexInsurance #TamilNaduFarmers #AgriInnovation #FarmersFirst #FPO #FarmerCommunity
