Fibe, an India-based FinTech, has raised $90 million in a Series E round led by TR Capital, Trifecta Capital and Amara Partners.

Its existing investors, TPG Rise Fund, Norwest Venture Partners, Eight Roads Ventures and Chiratae Ventures, also participated in the round, which included both primary and secondary transactions.

Founded in 2015 by Akshay Mehrotra and Ashish Goyal, Fibe (then EarlySalary), the company is expanding in the consumer lending segment with its personal loan and impact loan portfolio, including categories like healthcare loans, EdTech loans, insurance financing, school fee financing, and more. With a hyper-focus on lending technology and risk management systems, Fibe has been able to offer lower credit costs to consumers. The brand also recently launched a numberless co-branded credit card.

Fibe is playing a pivotal role in fulfilling the aspirations of young India. The company aims to make rapid strides in its impact lending segment and will, therefore, deploy the new fund for business expansion, market outreach, and curating more tailor-made products across its impact lending portfolio.

Akshay Mehrotra, Co-founder & CEO of Fibe, said, “The infusion of new capital not only fuels our growth but also highlights our dedication to empowering India’s youth on their journey towards fulfilling their dreams. At Fibe, we believe in fostering a culture of responsible lending and borrowing, thereby ensuring that every opportunity we provide aligns with our borrowers’ aspirations and financial well-being. With this new capital injection, we are poised to expand our reach, strengthen our technological infrastructure, and deepen our impact across India. Together, we continue to pave the way for a future where every individual has the tools and support they need to thrive financially.”

Ashish Goyal, Co-founder & CFO of Fibe, shared, “Over the last few years, we have launched multiple financing solutions for healthcare, insurance and education besides our core personal loan offering to provide affordability to customers. The fresh funds will be deployed to strengthen the existing product lines at Fibe further. We remain committed to our journey towards sustainable expansion and are committed to meeting the evolving needs of our customers.”
