Vivriti Capital, a mid-market lender has raised an additional $30 million in its Series C funding round from TVS Shriram Growth Fund 3, a homegrown private equity fund managed by TVS Capital.

In March 2022, it had raised $55 million in the first close of its series C funding round led by existing investors Lightrock and Creation Investments.

The funds raised will be allocated between Vivritti Capital and its subsidiary Vivritti Asset Management, which manages closed-ended debt funds investing in medium-sized corporates.

The startup plans to use the funds to fulfill the company’s larger mission of bringing global and domestic investors into medium-sized enterprises, particularly as capital for business expansion in the global market as well as a tech for customer acquisition, product delivery, and portfolio management.

The Chennai-based Vivriti Capital was founded in 2017 by Aniket Deshpande, Gaurav Kumar, Irfan Mohammed, Soumendra Ghosh, and Vineet Sukumar, It focuses on medium-sized companies- a borrower segment that is not widely used by NBFCs.

“With this investment from TVS Capital, we are bringing to our cap-table an extremely aligned partner with expertise and a long-term commitment towards the Indian fintech space. We have been profitable since the first year of inception, and our delinquency rates are less than 0.3%”, Said, Vineet Sukumar, founder and CEO, Vivriti Capital and Vivriti Asset Management.

Vivriti Capital and Vivriti Asset Management have approximately $700 million in assets under management (AUM), and commitments and lines of credit from more than 300 debt investors, both global and domestic.

The company has a team of over 160 – of whom over half, across all operations, are in Chennai.

Avendus Capital was the financial advisor to Vivriti Capital during this round.

“Corporate credit in India is underpenetrated, with borrowings at <60% of GDP, well short of global benchmarks. The Indian debt markets are poised to deepen, driven by growth of credit to the financially under-served segments, where Vivriti has thrived in terms of growing its loan book while maintaining the best-in-class asset quality”, said, Gopal Srinivasan, CMD, TVS Capital.
