Paisalo Digital Reports Promoter Stake Rise to 46.72% in Q1FY27 Following Acquisitions​

Paisalo Digital Limited, a NBFC specializing in expanding formal credit access for MSMEs and underserved borrowers across India, announced that its promoter shareholding increased by 4.97% during the first quarter of FY27, bringing the total stake to 46.72%. This milestone reflects continuous conviction from the promoter group over several years.

The acquisition-driven increase has seen the company's promoter holding move steadily. The commitment began rising from approximately 26% in FY19, increased to about 37% by FY25, reached 41.75% in FY26, and now stands at 46.72% in Q1FY27. This sustained interest highlights the promoters' deep alignment with Paisalo's long-term strategy and its business model focused on delivering responsible, tech-enabled credit to MSMEs and micro-enterprises nationwide.

Paisalo has a three-year roadmap designed to double its Assets Under Management (AUM), Total Income, and Profit After Tax (PAT) while maintaining disciplined risk management and high asset quality standards. A key strategic shift involves moving from a "High Touch - High Tech" model to a "Fin AI"-led lending franchise.

The company's growth strategy is structured around four principal pillars:

1. AI-Powered Lending: Integrating Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning across underwriting, fraud detection, collections, and early warning signals to improve speed, accuracy, and risk outcomes.
2. Pristine Asset Quality: Protecting asset quality through disciplined credit selection, real-time monitoring, and a robust collections infrastructure while scaling operations.
3. Distribution Expansion: Leveraging its existing network of 5,299 touchpoints across 22 states and Union Territories (UTs), with plans to deepen current markets and enter new, less penetrated geographies.
4. Long-Term Sustainable Growth: Focusing on scaling MSME and micro-enterprise loans, diversifying liabilities to optimize the cost of capital, and broadening the product suite and operating leverage.

Santanu Agarwal, Deputy Managing Director at Paisalo Digital Limited, commented on the achievement, stating that the increase in promoter shareholding to 46.72%, inclusive of the 4.97% addition this quarter, strongly reflects their long-term confidence. He emphasized that they are building a scalable, AI-led, and risk-disciplined lending franchise for Bharat, anchored by responsible growth, strong governance, technology-led underwriting, deep distribution, and pristine asset quality.

Paisalo Digital Limited is dedicated to simplifying MSME and micro-enterprise loans.
