Commenting on this initiative, Deepak Aggarwal, Co-founder Moneyboxx Finance Ltd said, “Moneyboxx is committed to make beyond lending initiatives as core to its business operations.

India has the highest population of cattle in the world and about 2/3 of the rural population depends on the dairy industry. To help our borrowers who are dairy farmers, we hire qualified vets in our branches as impact officers who advise borrowers on improving milk yield, feedstock selection, cattle health, reproduction through AI, and creating awareness about government schemes on cattle insurance etc.

To further support our livestock borrowers who also have farmlands, we are blessed to contribute and actively work towards the cause by planting fruit bearing trees as part of agroforestry initiative. We are committed to bring improvements in the overall environment through multiple such initiatives in the near future.”

Moneyboxx has a total of 43 branch networks in five states – Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttar Pradesh. The company plans to strengthen its presence and expand its customer reach by doubling its branch network to 60 and building AUM of over INR 400 crores by FY23.
