    <fulldesc>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;New Delhi, Jun 11 (KNN)&lt;/strong&gt; Digital lending software-as-a-service platform Biz2X has announced ambitious growth targets, aiming to disburse Rs 17,000 crore in loans to micro, small and medium enterprises during the 2025-26 financial year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;This represents a significant increase from the Rs 14,000 crore disbursed through its India operations in the fiscal year ended March 2025.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The company reported maintaining consistent year-on-year growth of 25-30 percent, facilitated by its turnkey global SaaS platform that enables financial institutions to deliver customised online lending experiences for small and midsize business customers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;According to Rohit Arora, Co-Founder and CEO, Biz2X and Biz2Credit, this growth trajectory reflects the company's strategic emphasis on artificial intelligence-driven product enhancements and deeper solution integration, which has accelerated new customer acquisition and strengthened lending infrastructure.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Arora expressed confidence in sustaining current growth momentum, projecting potential increases of 15-20 percent for the current fiscal year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;However, he acknowledged external challenges that could impact performance, particularly regarding global trade dynamics and US tariff policies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt; Indian SMEs contribute a large part to Indian exports, and many exporters could lose credit significantly,  Arora noted, while expressing optimism that swift resolution of these issues could enable the company to achieve approximately 20 percent growth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The platform's expansion strategy capitalises on increasing global digitisation trends, artificial intelligence advancement, and growing international market opportunities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Biz2X aims to scale its reach and impact across the financial ecosystem in response to rising demand for inclusive credit access.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The company is particularly focused on enhancing service delivery in high-growth regions, aligning with India's expanding role in the Global Capability Center landscape, which is projected to reach USD 110 billion by 2030.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Addressing policy considerations for the MSME sector, Arora suggested that while government initiatives have been beneficial, India could benefit from adopting international best practices to create deeper demand for MSME loan portfolios in capital markets.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;He emphasised that current banking practices, where institutions typically hold MSME loans on their books with limited securitisation compared to markets like the United States, present opportunities for improvement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Additionally, Arora noted that the credit guarantee program operated by SIDBI, while performing well, has potential for further enhancement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;Regarding international expansion, Biz2X currently maintains operations across India, the United States, and the United Arab Emirates, with ongoing expansion into Saudi Arabia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;The company continues to focus on diversifying its product portfolio within India while advancing AI-driven solutions. Through AI-based underwriting utilising digital footprints, Biz2X positions itself as supporting small businesses in addressing significant credit gaps in the market.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:14px&quot;&gt;(KNN Bureau)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
