Our Story

Democratizing credit for India’s growing investor community

Lark Finserv was founded in July 2023 with a clear mission: to democratize credit and promote financial inclusion for India’s growing investor community. Our founder, a Chartered Accountant and capital market expert with over 20 years of experience, saw a gap—millions invest in mutual funds, equities, and bonds, yet few can access quick, affordable credit against those investments without disrupting long‑term goals.

We’re creating API‑first credit infrastructure for the investment economy. We empower wealth platforms, fintechs, and NBFCs to offer seamless solutions like loans against mutual funds and securities financing. These digital‑first products let investors unlock liquidity instantly without redeeming their investments or losing the power of compounding.

We believe the future of credit should be smart, clear, and inclusive. By collaborating with financial institutions and technology providers, we’re building an ecosystem where credit and investments work together to enhance financial resilience.

Our purpose is straightforward: we want every investor, big or small, to feel confident using their wealth when needed. We aim to make access to credit as easy and modern as investing itself.
