9. Cashkumar (Cashkumar Fintech Pvt Ltd)

The King of Short-Term Business Capital.

Metric	Value (As of March 2026)
Average Returns	11% - 14% p.a.
Loan Tenure	7 to 28 Days
Default Rate	0.00% (On specific “Merchant” products)

Overview

Cashkumar has pivoted successfully to short-term working capital for small businesses (Kirana stores, merchants). Because the loans are very short-term and often backed by partner business data, the risk of “runaway” default is significantly lower.

Strengths: Extremely high liquidity (your capital returns every month); very low NPA on business-backed products. Red Flags: Lower absolute returns compared to high-yield P2P; limited capacity for very large retail investments.

10. i-Lend (Dipamkara Web Ventures Pvt Ltd)

The Transparency-First Platform.

Metric	Value
Average Returns	12% - 15% p.a.
Base	Hyderabad
Status	Active NBFC-P2P

Overview

i-Lend is one of the more conservative and transparent platforms in the South Indian market. They focus on verified borrowers with stable income histories.

Strengths: Clear user dashboard; focus on physical verification of high-ticket borrowers. Red Flags: Slower disbursement cycles compared to AI-driven giants like LenDenClub.

11. Monexo (Monexo Fintech Pvt Ltd)

The Professional’s Choice.

Metric	Value
Average Returns	11% - 13% p.a.
Status	Active
Market Segment	Mid-to-High Income Salaried

Overview

Monexo (led by Mukesh Bubna) has a strong focus on professional and ethical lending practices. They emphasize “Systematic Lending” rather than one-off opportunistic bets.

Strengths: Strong ethical framework; focus on long-term sustainability of lender capital. Red Flags: Lower marketing presence compared to “Gateway” platforms, leading to lower awareness among new Gen-Z investors.

The Balanced Marketplace.

Metric	Value (2026)

Overview

PaisaDukaan offers a traditional P2P marketplace where borrowers and lenders are matched based on credit scores. It has maintained a steady but quiet presence in the market.

Strengths: Simple fee structure; direct interaction with borrower profiles. Red Flags: Low liquidity on the secondary market; limited recent public data on total AUM.
