About Lentra
Lentra operates as a provider of cloud-based digital lending software, serving banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). Founded in 2019 by D Venkatesh, Ankur Handa, Sunil Pandurang Dalal, and Rangarajan Vasudevan, the Pune-based company aims to transform lending by enabling financial institutions to digitize their entire credit lifecycle. The founders brought extensive experience to Lentra; Venkatesh has over 25 years in the software industry, while Handa has a background in managing credit risk solutions and card issuing operations at companies like Softcell Technologies and Barclaycard. Rangarajan Vasudevan, who joined as a co-founder and Chief Data Officer after Lentra acquired his AI startup TheDataTeam in 2022, adds deep expertise in data analytics.
Read full description
The company's core offering is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform built on an API-driven, modular architecture that allows clients to create customized lending products. This full-stack platform supports the entire lending process, from customer onboarding, KYC compliance, and credit decisioning to loan management, servicing, and collections. It utilizes AI, machine learning, and blockchain technologies to automate workflows, reduce turnaround times, and mitigate risk. Lentra's business model is primarily B2B, generating revenue through a pay-as-you-go or pay-per-transaction SaaS model, with loan origination accounting for a significant portion of its income. The platform is designed to be highly configurable and scalable, allowing for quick integration with third-party data sources and existing bank systems.
Lentra's product suite includes several specialized modules. 'GoNoGo' is a loan origination platform for instant credit decisioning, 'MultiBureau' aggregates credit scores from multiple bureaus, and 'BREx' is a business rule engine for customizing lending protocols. The platform also features solutions for video KYC, automated document management ('FileX'), and a loan management system ('1LMS'). For its clients, the benefits include expanded market reach, improved operational efficiency, and a reduction in non-performing assets (NPAs). The company has processed over $20 billion in loan applications for more than 50 partner institutions, including HDFC Bank, Federal Bank, and Standard Chartered. Having established a strong presence in India, Lentra is expanding internationally into Southeast Asia and the United States.
