The MLDs were issued on August 30, 2022, through Yubi (formerly CredAvenue), a fintech debt marketplace.
In a statement, Indel Money stated that the first tranche of MLDs witnessed rapid subscription from HNI offices/investment houses from cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, etc.
Umesh Mohanan, Executive Director and CEO, Indel Money Ltd said, “We are pleased to witness such a strong demand for the first tranche of our MLDs. It underlines the trust of the investors in the competitive strength of our business model and our enhanced position in the gold loan industry."
The CEO added, "The market placement expertise of Yubi also helped us develop a broad investor base for the MLDs. For investors, our MLDs offer a short-tenure investment option with principal protection and assured return/pay-off despite market volatility. Our gold-backed MLDs aptly address the illiquidity concerns over the investments."
Indel Money plans to raise additional ₹250 crore by issuing the second tranche of the MLDs in Q3FY23.
"The MLDs will help us further diversify fund-raising avenues. The launch of MLDs is a part of our mission to expand our presence across India and further build our operational efficiency. We look forward to a stronger investor traction for the second tranche scheduled in Q3FY23," Mohanan added.
