About Kosh

Kosh is a digital lending platform in India, empowering blue-collar workers with a unique joint liability model (much like microfinance but for a different segment). The social component of their underwriting helps control credit risk significantly and lower CAC/Opex in one go, making this 150mn-strong segment credit-worthy.
