What CreditAccess Grameen does

India's largest listed microfinance lender, providing small group loans mainly to rural women for income-generating activities.

Earns interest on small unsecured loans made to groups of borrowers who guarantee one another, funded mostly by bank borrowings and bond issues because it is a non-bank lender, not by deposits. It grew out of Grameen Koota, a microfinance lender founded in Bengaluru in 1999.
