What this company actually does

Read out of the prospectus’s business section, stripped of its marketing language.

Vaibhav Vyapaar Limited is a Reserve Bank of India-registered Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) that lends unsecured personal loans to salaried and self-employed individuals through its proprietary mobile-app platform, 'LoanFront'. It originates loans on its own balance sheet (direct lending) and via co-lending arrangements with other NBFCs, targeting first-time borrowers and lower-income salaried professionals across urban and semi-urban India. It also sells its application and technology services to other NBFCs.

How it earns

Earns interest and fees on personal loans disbursed on its own books (on-book AUM) and on its 20% share under co-lending; additionally earns revenue from technology and sourcing services (hurdle interest, penalty/closure charges, sourcing fees) provided to other NBFCs.

Who buys

Retail individual borrowers only — no named B2B customers. Concentration: top 5 states (Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra) account for 77.09% of AUM as of 31.07.2026; repeat customers contribute 77.13% of revenue in the same period (75.40% in FY2025-26).

Scale

AUM of ₹8,124.05 lakhs (≈₹81.24 crore or ≈₹812.4 million) as on 31.07.2026, of which on-book ₹6,822.76 lakhs and off-book ₹1,301.29 lakhs; net worth ₹4,719.55 lakhs; ~86 lakh registered users, ~18 lakh KYC-verified users, ~24 lakh loans to ~5 lakh customers, 114 lakh+ app downloads and cumulative disbursements of ₹1,500 crore as of June 2026 (figures stated in lakhs/crore; 1 crore = 100 lakh = 10 million).

What it says sets it apart

  • Large digital user franchise: ~86 lakh registered users, ~18 lakh KYC-verified users, ~24 lakh loans disbursed to ~5 lakh customers, and ~75% repeat borrowers as of 31.03.2026
  • Proprietary end-to-end digital platform 'LoanFront' (acquired via slump-sale BTA dated 01.06.2022 from CapFront Technologies for ₹2 crore), built around modular architecture integrating credit bureaus, payment gateways, e-NACH, UPI AutoPay, Aadhaar/PAN and video-KYC
  • Dual revenue streams: own lending plus recurring application/technology services to other NBFCs (₹300.31 lakhs in FY2025-26, ₹242.57 lakhs in FY2024-25)
  • Risk-sharing co-lending structure: company retains 20% of each loan, partner retains 80%, supporting balance-sheet leverage (debt-to-equity 0.80 as on 31.07.2026)
  • Geographic concentration in South India (~65% of AUM from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh) with 25-state footprint and ₹1,500 crore cumulative disbursements as of June 2026
