CredAble

CredAble, co-founded by Nirav Choksi, disbursed $21B through trade, credit, and payments infrastructure for enterprises and SMEs in India.

CredAble

CredAble was founded by Nirav Choksi and Ram Kewalramani to solve working capital financing challenges across enterprise ecosystems, financial institutions, and SMEs. The firm runs three verticals: Trade, Credit, and Payments. Its credit engine is housed inside its own NBFC, built for India's growing small and medium enterprises, while its technology arm provides a white-label, API-based platform used by external banks to embed credit solutions into their own customer workflows. The firm's deployment of $21 billion spans a full spectrum of working capital programs covering payables, receivables, and purchase-order cycles. Proprietary products include Sales Invoice Financing, Purchase Order Financing, Purchase Invoice Discounting, Startup Financing, and Working Capital Demand Loans. CredAble's model integrates automated transaction documentation, multi-funder structuring with off-balance-sheet capabilities, and connections to leading ERP systems. The firm operates with deep trade finance expertise to design built-to-suit programs for large corporates, while its NBFC arm serves SMEs directly. Geographic footprint details and named lending partners beyond what is stated on its website remain undisclosed. CredAble lists a nine-member senior team on its website, including Ashutosh Taparia as COO and Global MD for Enterprise Coverage & Trade and Satyam Agrawal as MD and Global Head of its Banking-as-a-Service, SME, and Analytics divisions. The firm has won external recognition as a supply-chain finance software provider, though the awarding body is not named in its materials. CredAble's technology stack includes an AI-powered loan origination system, and it maintains an in-house relationship team to drive recurring participation from enterprise supplier networks. Information on recent fundraises, specific deployment volumes by quarter, or the firm's own balance-sheet size remains thin. CredAble's structural differentiator is its hybrid architecture — it is simultaneously a technology vendor (selling PaaS and BaaS infrastructure to financial institutions), a direct lender through its own captive NBFC, and a program manager for large enterprise supply chains. This three-sided model means it competes with the very banks that are also its platform clients, a tension that demands strict operational separation between the lending and technology businesses. The firm's decision to stay private and keep precise AUM figures confidential reinforces a posture of building infrastructure rather than marking assets under management.

Frequently asked questions

Who runs investment and credit decisions at CredAble?

The firm's credit and strategic direction are driven by its co-founders, CEO Nirav Choksi and Managing Director Ram Kewalramani. Ranjit Singh serves as the Chief Credit Risk Officer for wholesale lending, while Satyam Agrawal oversees the SME lending and analytics division as part of his global Banking-as-a-Service mandate.

How does CredAble's own NBFC interact with its technology platform?

CredAble NBFC is a separate legal entity that lends directly to India's SMEs using the firm's proprietary credit and risk analytics. Separately, the technology platform offers PaaS and BaaS solutions to external financial institutions, allowing those banks to embed working capital credit products into their own systems without using CredAble's balance sheet.

Is CredAble a direct lender or a technology vendor?

It is both. CredAble operates an NBFC that provides on-balance-sheet working capital loans to SMEs, and it sells its technology platform as a service to financial institutions wanting to launch or upgrade their own supply-chain finance programs. These two functions are legally and operationally distinct.

What types of working capital programs does CredAble structure?

The firm covers the full payables and receivables cycle. Its listed programs include Sales Invoice Financing, Purchase Order Financing, Purchase Invoice Discounting, Working Capital Demand Loans, and Startup Financing. Large enterprise programs are structured with multi-funder capabilities and off-balance-sheet treatment where required.

Does CredAble participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

CredAble does not describe itself as making fund commitments. Its model is direct lending and program structuring — the NBFC lends directly to SMEs, and the enterprise programs create liquidity for supplier networks via partner lenders. The firm's disclosure does not reference any LP-style fund-of-funds activity.
