To improve the credit to the underserved and unserved, we are happy to associate with Capri Global Capital. We believe this collaboration will provide the nimble footedness of NBFC and quality credit to the right set of the population which will further deepen lending to MSMEs through the last mile connect. We are also confident that, in days to come, co-lending can generate employment opportunities through MSMEs which can translate into the country’s GDP growth,” said SBI chairman Dinesh Khara.

The MOU was exchanged in the presence of Dinesh Khara, Chairman, SBI; C.S. Setty, MD (Retail & Digital Banking), SBI; S. Salee, DMD (SME, Agri, and FI), SBI; and Rajesh Sharma, Managing Director, Capri Global Capital Limited.
