A busy month with the launch of our education loans, several campaigns running simultaneously and new releases on our web site. Reviewing the education loans to ensure that it goes to the most deserving has been time consuming, but no sooner than they appear on our website, the money is raised, showing its huge preference by the investors. Microventure is another tab worth checking on for businesses that require slightly larger loans and is unique in some way. They could be eco-friendly or focus on artisans in the country. We also have a couple of interactive campaigns for you to participate in and keep you busy this summer.

IPL Mania
As the IPL fever grips the country, we want to see which team has the most ardent fans. An on-going campaign lets you participate and actively support your favourite team or player at Rangde IPL Mania.
