Tap Capital Sets Ambitious Growth Plans with ₹2,000 Crore Deployment Target for FY26

India PR Distribution
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 20: Tap Capital, a fintech platform revolutionizing modern-age debt financing and working capital solutions for Indian businesses, is planning to deploy ₹2,000 crore in capital for FY26. This milestone follows a strong FY25, during which the company disbursed ₹900 crore across its core offerings in SME financing.
Founded by Nishchay Nath, Soumya Kushwaha (both IIM Ahmedabad alumni) and Himanshu Chowdhary (IIT Kharagpur), Tap Capital is transforming how Indian MSMEs access capital offering fast, digital, and structured credit through its proprietary tech-first lending infrastructure.
"In FY25, we validated our thesis: there's a large, untapped demand for working capital and structured debt among high-quality SMEs," said Nishchay Nath, Founder & CEO.
"Our ability to deploy ₹900 crore through efficient origination and distribution proves the power of our platform. With the partnerships we've built and the demand we're seeing, ₹2,000 crore in FY26 is an achievable and strategic leap."
Strategic Partnerships Fueling Momentum
Tap Capital's FY26 trajectory is supported by key partnerships with one of India's leading NBFCs. These alliances have bolstered Tap's ability to scale responsibly, maintain high credit quality, and expand across new sectors and geographies.
With a fully digital, embedded-finance approach, Tap is bridging the ₹25 lakh crore credit gap faced by India's MSMEs--many of whom are underserved by traditional lenders. As India's economy gains momentum, structured debt and working capital demand is expected to surge, positioning Tap Capital at the forefront of this transformation.
ultra: Investments for the Next-Gen Investor

ultra offers curated, institutional-grade products including Invoice discounting, Asset Leasing, Fractional Real Estate, Private Equity & Pre-IPOs & Minerals like gold and silver.
With high-yield fixed income options, full transparency, and rapid digital onboarding, ultra is giving access to opportunities that were once reserved for institutions and insiders. In FY25, several of ultra's products delivered record-high IRRs, far surpassing traditional public-market returns, making it one of India's most compelling platforms for intelligent wealth creation.
Among ultra's standout offerings is Invoice Discounting investment, where one can purchase invoices for blue-chip-backed businesses. With tenures as short as 30 to 90 days and predictable pay-outs, the product offers liquidity and confidence making it ideal for modern customers looking for short-duration fixed income exposure with minimal volatility.
Another core product, Asset Leasing investment, allows users to co-own income generating assets like medical equipment, electronics, or office infrastructure leased to corporates. This creates steady, passive monthly cash flow, serving as a powerful fixed income tool with real-world utility and low correlation to public market cycles.
As a group, Tap is building a financial engine that serves both sides of the economic spectrum, providing high-quality structured credit to India's underbanked SMEs and unlocking access to fixed income products. By bridging institutional-grade opportunities with cutting-edge tech, Tap is reshaping the future of wealth and credit in India, quietly, efficiently, and at scale.

When Dr Radhakrishnan gave away degrees under tent at IIT-Kanpur

Lucknow: When RBI governor, Sanjay Malhotra, returns to his alma mater, IIT-Kanpur, on June 23 to address the premier institute's 58th convocation at its sprawling auditorium, the event will mark the institute's memorable journey from its humble beginnings. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The institute's first convocation was held under a tent in 1965 and addressed by the then President of India, . The event saw 66 members of the institute's first graduating class conferred the BTech degrees. Dr PK Kelkar, founder director of IIT-K, presided over the function and gave a report on the growth and prospects of the institute. Among the many speeches on the occasion, Kelkar's was the most memorable. IIT-K has come a long way since its inception in 1959. From its humble beginnings in a borrowed room at Harcourt Butler Technological Institute, it has grown to become a premier institution, now situated on a sprawling 420-hectare campus located on the Grand Trunk Road, around 15km west of Kanpur city. Land for the institute was gifted by the govt of Uttar Pradesh in 1960 and, by March 1963, it had shifted to its current location. Today, IIT-Kanpur is renowned for its academic excellence, research, and innovation. A visit to the campus back then would have revealed a serene landscape featuring standing crops, acacia woods, a picturesque line of stately mango trees, flocks of peafowl roaming freely, and a quintessential Indian countryside scene. This idyllic setting made a perfect blend of natural beauty and rustic charm. The campus is designed with a focus on environmental freedom, featuring halls of residence, faculty and staff houses, and community buildings. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now All these are strategically arranged around the central academic area to facilitate flexibility in movement and easy communication. The institute's inaugural batch, the Class of 65, produced some illustrious technocrats and business honchos in the country like Abhay Bhushan, a computer scientist who has been a major contributor to the development of the internet TCP/IP architecture and is the author of the File Transfer Protocol, Suresh Pandey (former director, Bokaro Steel Plant), and Vinay Kumar Modi (Director of Modi Industries Limited). The batch members recall how they departed from the campus in May 1965 and were waiting to hear when the convocation would be held. Finally, they received invitations by India Post. By then many batchmates had left for studies abroad and some of the ones in India could not attend because of work or personal issues. A few of them, though, did make it to Kanpur to receive their degrees. IIT-K made arrangements for them to be picked up at the railway station and they were lodged at the Visitors' Hostel. Abhay Bhushan, chairman of Asquare Inc and part of IIT-K's 1965 batch, reminisces: "The convocation was planned for the afternoon, from 3pm to 5.30pm. We, the graduating students, were asked to arrive by 1.30pm to collect our gowns and caps and to get instructions on walking in the procession. In all, 67 BTech and 5 PhD degrees were awarded." "During the convocation, several speeches were given. Of note was Dr Kelkar's speech where he recalled what we, as the pioneer batch, had been through and how we were better educated to handle whatever our profession and life may have to offer. He said that the faith that they have shown in the future of the institute has been a real source of inspiration," Bhushan said. The Class of 1965 gifted IIT-K Rs 2.5 crore during its Diamond Jubilee Reunion celebrations in March. The batch pledged this amount towards creating a "Pioneering Research and Innovation Award" at the institute. Talking to TOI, the institute's present director, Professor Manindra Agrawal, said: "This year, we are celebrating the 58th convocation. Over the years, the institute has come a long way in contributing to the nation's technology and innovation landscape, as well as shaping bright minds. As an alumnus myself, every convocation here is nostalgic."

ICICI sought to acquire HDFC, reveals chairman Deepak Parekh

Former HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh and ICICI Bank chief Chanda Kochhar MUMBAI: Former HDFC chairman Deepak Parekh, in a candid disclosure, said that then ICICI Bank chief Chanda Kochhar had proposed a merger between the two lenders - well before HDFC's eventual reverse merger with its banking subsidiary. During an interaction with Kochhar on her channel, Parekh said: "I remember you talking to me once. I remember it very clearly. It's never been talked about in public, but I'm willing to share it now. You said that ICICI started HDFC. 'Why don't you come back home?' That was your offer." Parekh said he declined the offer, saying "it won't be fair" or "proper with our name and the bank and all". Parekh said the eventual merger with HDFC Bank, completed in July 2023, was driven mainly by regulatory pressure. RBI had classified NBFCs like HDFC, then holding assets over Rs 5 lakh crore, as systemically important, breaching the Rs 50,000-crore threshold. "RBI supported us and they pushed us into it to some extent and they helped us," he said. However, he added that there were "no concessions, no relief, no time, nothing". Describing the day the merger concluded, Parekh called it "a sad day and a happy day". He said, "It's good for the institution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 180k traders turn to IC Markets for optimum CFD trading conditions IC Markets Sign Up Undo It's good for the country to have large banks.

On broader economic concerns, Parekh cited persistent uncertainty in supply chains, trade policy, and export conditions as top CEO concerns. Calling insurance the "least understood product", Parekh criticised "mis-selling by banks" driven by high upfront commissions.

Meity on alert to find Indian data in global breach; asks Cert-In to probe

Taking cognizance of an alleged global data breach, the Union government is taking steps to identify the quantum of Indian data in it, it is learnt. In what is being considered one of the biggest breaches globally, user names, passwords, and other sensitive personal information of around 16 billion digital accounts were leaked recently. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (Meity) has asked the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (Cert-In) to seek an appropriate response from intermediaries, data centres, corporate bodies, and government organisations on the Indian data present in the global data leak and report back with details. 'Given the proportion of the global leak, it is very likely that the data of Indian citizens might be on the dataset,'' an official said. Cert-In is looking into it, he pointed out, adding that Indian firms too will have to look into it and report according to cyber incidents norms. Earlier this week, media reports suggested that data of nearly 16 billion accounts of Apple, Facebook, Google, GitHub, Telegram, and various government services were leaked. A Cybernews researcher team, led by Vilius Petkauskas, found, through an investigation beginning in January 2025, that the new records were scattered across 30 different databases and were most likely stolen by various infostealers. 'The datasets that the team uncovered differ widely. For example, the smallest, named after malicious software, had over 16 million records. Meanwhile, the largest one, most likely related to the Portuguese-speaking population, had over 3.5 billion records. On average, one dataset with exposed credentials had 550 million records,' Cybernews said in a report. Emails sent to Apple, Meta, Google and Microsoft did not yield any response on whether they had sent any instructions to users on the alleged breach, and if data of Indian users was also found in the said breach. 'While the exact nature of these leaks remains unclear as investigations unfold, the critical takeaway for users and enterprises alike is unequivocal: reactive password resets are no longer enough. Proactive adoption of strong multi-factor authentication (MFA), particularly biometric verification, is now essential. It creates a critical layer of security that stolen credentials alone cannot compromise,' said Vijender Yadav, co-founder and chief executive officer of cybersecurity firm Accops. In 2022, Meity had issued comprehensive guidelines on the timelines by which any cyber incidents would have to be reported to Cert-In, along with the details of the nature of the attack, the systems, the quantum of data compromised, and whether the users had been informed about the compromise of the datasets. As per the norms then issued, the ministry had also mandated that all companies should maintain a 180-day rolling log of all of their information technology and computer systems and keep that data within India. As and when demanded by Cert-In, this data would have to be furnished in cases of cyber incidents.
