Rajesh Low Cibil Business Success Story

From CIBIL 580 to Business Success — Rajesh's Inspiring Journey with Indifunds

Indifunds par hum sirf loans facilitate nahi karte — hum sapne sach karte hain. Aaj hum aapko milvaayenge Rajesh Sharma se, jinhone apne low CIBIL ke baavjood ek thriving business build kiya — Indifunds ki help se.

Meet Rajesh Sharma

Name: Rajesh Sharma

Age: 34 years

Location: Karol Bagh, Delhi

Business: Electronics Wholesale Trader

Family: Wife and 2 children (ages 8 and 5)

Rajesh ki story ek typical Indian businessman ki story hai — full of struggles, perseverance, aur ultimately success.

The Background — Where It All Started

Rajesh ne 2017 me apna electronics wholesale business start kiya tha Karol Bagh me. Initial 4 saal good rahe — business steadily grow ho raha tha, customers happy the, aur revenue increasing thi.

Business Status in 2020:

• Monthly Revenue: ₹8-10 lakh
• Net Profit: ₹1.5-2 lakh
• Stock Investment: ₹15 lakh
• Employees: 3
• CIBIL Score: 760 

Life was good. Rajesh planning kar raha tha aur ek branch open karne ki. Lekin phir COVID-19 aa gaya.

The Crisis — When Everything Changed

March 2020 — Lockdown. Business completely shut. No revenue, but expenses continued.

Rajesh's Challenges During COVID:

• 18 months of irregular business
• Used up all savings (₹6 lakh)
• Took ₹3 lakh personal loan
• Borrowed ₹2 lakh from family
• Couldn't pay supplier dues (₹4 lakh)
• Salaries delayed for staff
• Children's school fees pending

Result:

• 3 EMI defaults on personal loan
• Credit card minimum payments missed
• Business lost 60% inventory value
• **CIBIL Score dropped to 580** 📉

The Recovery Attempt — Hitting Walls

By 2024, Rajesh's business started recovering. Demand returning, customers coming back. But to fully recover, he needed working capital — minimum ₹3 lakh for fresh stock before Diwali.

Bank #1: HDFC Bank

Applied for: ₹3 lakh personal loan

Process: Submitted all documents

Wait: 7 days

Result: ❌ Rejected

Reason: CIBIL Score below required limit

Bank #2: ICICI Bank

Applied for: ₹2.5 lakh business loan

Process: Branch visit, multiple meetings

Wait: 10 days

Result: ❌ Rejected

Reason: Recent defaults visible

Bank #3: Axis Bank

Applied for: ₹2 lakh personal loan

Process: Online application

Wait: 5 days

Result: ❌ Rejected

Reason: Risk profile too high

Local Lender (Mahajan):

Offered: ₹3 lakh @ 36% annual interest

Tenure: 12 months

EMI: ₹30,000 (impossible!)

Decision: Refused — knew this was debt trap

"3 banks ne reject kar diya tha. Local lender se 36% pe loan le sakta tha but mujhe pata tha ye trap hai. I was losing hope. Diwali was just 45 days away."

The Turning Point — Discovering Indifunds

Ek din Rajesh ka friend Anil (who himself had a similar experience) ne unhe Indifunds ka contact share kiya.

 "Anil ne mujhe Indifunds ke baare me bataaya. Pehle thoda hesitant tha — soch raha tha ye bhi reject kar denge. Lekin Anil ne insist kiya. Maine WhatsApp pe message kiya, expecting standard reply."

Day 1: First Contact

Time: 4:30 PM

Mode: WhatsApp message

Response Time: Within 15 minutes

Rajesh ne basic details share kiye — business type, loan amount needed, CIBIL situation.

Indifunds RM (Shivam) ne reply kiya:

 *"Rajesh ji, aapka case main personally dekhunga. CIBIL kam hone se hum reject nahi karte — pehle business profile dekhte hain. Kal subah 11 AM video call kar sakte hain?"*

Day 2: Detailed Discussion

Mode: Video call (45 minutes)

Discussed:

• Business history (7+ years)
• Current monthly revenue (₹8 lakh recovering)
• Stock requirement for Diwali
• Repayment capacity
• Family situation
• Past defaults and reasons (COVID)
• Recovery trajectory

Indifunds Approach:

Shivam ne Rajesh ko bataaya:

"Sir, aapki story bahut common hai COVID ke baad. CIBIL technical issue hai, lekin aapka business genuine hai. 7 saal ka track record, regular GST filing, family-supported business — sab strong points hain. Hum aapki application 4-5 lenders ke saath share karenge jo manual underwriting karte hain."*

Day 3: Document Collection

Documents Submitted (via WhatsApp):

• Aadhaar + PAN

| Digital Lender | ₹2.5 lakh | 24% | 18 months | ₹5,000 |

Indifunds Recommendation: NBFC B

Day 8: Disbursement! 💰

₹2,95,500 disbursed (₹3L minus ₹4.5K processing fee) directly to Rajesh's business account.

> "Jab message aaya 'Amount Credited', main literally cry kar raha tha. 45 din pehle to ek bhi bank loan dene ko taiyaar nahi tha. Indifunds ne 7 din me sab kar diya — aur woh bhi reasonable terms par."

We asked Rajesh to share his honest feedback in his own words:

"Indifunds se mera experience expectations se bahut zyada acha raha. Banks ne mujhe sirf ek 3-digit number mein dekha — CIBIL 580. Indifunds ne mujhe ek human dekha — ek businessman, ek father, ek husband."

"Shivam (mera RM) — ye bahut humble aur knowledgeable hai. Har step pe guidance milta tha. Process bahut transparent tha. Koi hidden charges nahi, koi false promise nahi."

"Jo log COVID se affected hain, ya kisi reason se CIBIL kharab ho gaya hai — please don't lose hope. Sahi platform aur sahi guidance ke saath, recovery possible hai." 

"Indifunds ne sirf loan nahi diya — confidence diya, future diya, family ki khushi diya. Kuch friends ko bhi recommend kiya hai. Sab khush hain."

 "Aaj mera CIBIL 690 hai aur 2 months me 720+ hone ki ummeed hai. Next year main bigger expansion karunga — aur tab bhi Indifunds se baat karunga."
