The problem

Bridging the Credit Access Gap for Underserved Borrowers

Millions of Indians remain underserved by traditional credit because formal lenders often lack the data, underwriting confidence, and operating model to serve small-ticket borrowers efficiently. The result is a gap between demand for short-tenure credit and access to responsible, convenient products.

THE COMPANY

Expanding Responsible Digital Credit to Underserved Consumers

Olyv, formerly SmartCoin, is a digital lending platform using data-driven underwriting and analytics to serve consumers beyond the reach of mainstream financial services. Its model combines small-ticket personal lending with disciplined collection processes, repeat usage, and distribution into tier-2 and tier-3 markets. The platform's growth has been accompanied by improving borrower repeat rates, a large registered-user base, and a return to sustained profitability.

THE THESIS

Why UIV backed Olyv

01
Data as an underwriting advantage Alternative data and analytics allow Olyv to assess borrowers traditional lenders may not serve efficiently.
02
02 Evidence of product-market fit High repeat rates show that borrowers return to the platform when the product is useful, accessible, and priced appropriately.
03
03 Profitability with scale Olyv demonstrated that digital lending can combine rapid revenue growth with a profitable operating model and improving collection discipline.
