SK Finance

What SK Finance does

SK Finance (formerly Ess Kay Fincorp) is an India-based non-banking financial company (NBFC) founded in 1994 and headquartered in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The company lends to underbanked, low-to-mid-income, self-employed individuals and to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in rural and semi-urban markets through a portfolio of asset-backed products: commercial vehicle loans, car loans, tractor loans, construction equipment loans, two-wheeler loans, secured business loans, and home renovation/mortgage loans. Distribution combines 705+ physical branches across 12 Indian states and 2 union territories with digital channels (website application portal, OTP-based verification, WhatsApp customer support) and an automated NACH/eNACH mandate system for EMI collection.

The business model is interest-led, with revenue primarily generated from the loan portfolio supplemented by processing fees, documentation charges, late-payment penalties, and insurance distribution commissions earned via the company's IRDAI composite Corporate Agent registration. Loan pricing follows a risk-based framework with monthly EMI billing and no publicly disclosed standard rate card. Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer through branches, the SK PlusOne referral program, and digital marketing, without third-party broker intermediaries. Beyond lending, SK Finance sells insurance and personal loan products, bundling loan suraksha (credit protection) coverage with finance offerings.

SK Finance is privately held and backed by a syndicate of private equity investors including TPG Growth, Norwest Venture Partners, Baring Private Equity India, Motilal Oswal Alternates (lead in the January 2024 round), Axis Alternatives, Ananta Capital, and Mirae Asset Venture Investments. The most recent disclosed round was Rs 1,328 crore (~$160 million) in January 2024, earmarked for brand, technology, distribution, and team expansion and to prepare for an IPO that had not materialized as of early 2026. FY26 (year ending March 31, 2026) results show Assets Under Management of Rs 15,755.22 crore, total income from operations of Rs 2,823.60 crore, and PAT of Rs 431 crore, with credit ratings of AA-/Stable from ICRA and CARE Ratings and AA-/Positive from India Ratings.
