Our StoryFrom humble beginnings, we've built a solid foundation, empowering countless MSMEs to reach new heights.
Summer of 2009 : The Spark of an IdeaA group of seasoned financial professionals, Brahmanand Hegde and Ramakrishna Nishtala, fueled by a shared passion for meaningful impact, recognized the untapped potential of India's MSME sector. They left their established positions at Fullerton India to embark on this new journey. They envisioned a future where these businesses could thrive with the right financial support.
The Birth of VistaarDriven by this vision, Vistaar Finance was founded. The name 'Vistaar' embodies the essence of growth and expansion, reflecting the company's mission to empower small businesses.
Early Years: Building the FoundationVistaar's journey began in 2010 with an initial capital of ₹15 crores. The early years were dedicated to establishing operations in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, raising additional capital, and developing innovative financial products tailored to the unique needs of MSMEs. In FY 2012, Vistaar expanded its product offerings with the launch of Small Business Mortgage Loans and Small Business Hypothecation Loans.
Steady Growth and ExpansionVistaar's commitment to serving the 'missing middle' led to consistent growth and expansion. By FY2013, the company achieved operating break-even and crossed the ₹100 crore mark in its portfolio. The subsequent years witnessed further expansion into new regions, including Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Odisha, and Andhra Pradesh.
Milestones and RecognitionVistaar's dedication to responsible lending and customer-centric approach fueled its remarkable growth. The company achieved significant milestones, crossing the ₹1000 crore portfolio mark in FY2017 and the ₹2000 crore mark in FY2021. The company's strong financial performance was acknowledged through credit rating upgrades, reaching 'A+' in FY 2024.
Present Day: A Leading Force in MSME FinancingToday, Vistaar stands as a leading player in India's MSME finance space. With a vast network of branches across 12 states, a diverse product portfolio, and a dedicated team, the company has disbursed over 2.1 lakh loans amounting to more than ₹4,300 crores cumulatively. In FY2023, Vistaar achieved its highest-ever disbursement of ₹214 crores, and its AUM reached an impressive ₹3132 crores.
The Future: Unwavering CommitmentVistaar remains steadfast in its mission to unlock economic opportunities for deserving small businesses. With Avijit Saha at the helm as Managing Director and CEO since 2023, the company's focus on innovation, customer centricity, and responsible lending practices, coupled with the strategic backing of Warburg Pincus since 2023, positions it for continued success in the years to come.
