Rang De
Overview
Rang De is India's first peer-to-peer online micro-lending platform, founded in 2008, that connects individual social investors with low-income communities to fund education and livelihood needs. The platform enables individuals to invest in projects they choose, empowering rural entrepreneurs and students from underserved communities across the country. Rang De operates as a non-profit organization, aiming to make microcredit affordable and accessible to those without access to formal credit. The platform offers a range of investment opportunities, allowing social investors to start with as little as ₹500. Investors can choose to fund various projects, including those in agriculture, education, healthcare, and more. Rang De conducts a thorough assessment of each investee's capacity to implement and repay the investment effectively, ensuring responsible lending and minimizing the risk of default. The platform is regulated by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) peer-to-peer lending platform. Rang De has been supported by organizations such as ICICI Foundation, CSO Partners, Center for Bharatiya Management Development, Association for Sustainable Community Development, and Tata Trusts. Over 93% of the borrowers are women, and Rang De works with around 16 field partners across the country. The platform has disbursed over ₹80 crores from more than 15,000 individuals to 65,000 low-income households, contributing to financial inclusion and poverty alleviation in India.
