What Sundaram Finance does

South India-focused non-bank lender specializing in commercial vehicle and auto loans, part of the TVS/Sundaram Group.

The business runs through branches in South India and relationships with truck-fleet operators, many of them small owners. A home-loan subsidiary extends it beyond vehicle finance.

In one line: India's smaller regional auto/commercial-vehicle lender.
