We’re witnessing tremendous growth by adding 25-30 new partners every month,” said Sashank Rishyasringa, co-founder, Capital Float. “Our partners too, have experienced a substantial increase in sales, up to 40% in certain cases, along with a substantial increase in average ticket size of sale since the introduction of our products,” he added.
The Consumer Finance solution operates on a digital model, wherein the application process is completed in under three minutes. Consumers needn’t swipe their credit cards or pay upfront. Instead, they can opt for the convenience of paying via EMI by applying for the loan during purchase.

The app-based, paperless process is designed to provide the highest degree of convenience to the partner and consumer while transacting at the point of sale. Furthermore, the uniqueness of our products extends to verticals wherein consumers are typically under-served. For instance, by using our product, a customer can avail of elective healthcare facilities like weight loss, hair transplant or IVF which are normally not covered under regular insurance products. We’re currently disbursing a loan every five minutes with offerings across 1300 outlets. Given the potential of the market and our offering, we are confident of doubling our growth this year in terms of customer acquisition and point of sales.”
