Drip Capital, a fintech startup founded by Pushkar Mukewar and Neil Kothar, has crossed USD 9 billion in MSME trade finance transactions since its launch in 2016, the company said in a release.
Pushkar Mukewar said that the milestone highlights Drip Capital's expanding role in supporting small businesses.
Drip Capital said that it facilitated more than USD 2 billion in trade transactions in FY25-26. MSMEs contributed a significant portion of the volume.
Pushkar Mukewar said that the starup is now targeting USD 11+ billion in cumulative transactions by 2027.
"At Drip Capital, we are focused on building solutions that simplify cross-border trade and enable businesses to grow sustainably despite external disruptions. Crossing the $9 billion milestone reflects the trust that MSMEs worldwide have placed in us. As India sharpens its focus on boosting exports, we remain committed to supporting their global ambitions," Pushkar said.
Pushkar added that technology has been central to Drip Capital's growth.
The startup claims that technology has allowed it to approve financing in as little as 24 to 48 hours, a process that typically takes weeks, and to scale transaction volume without increase in operational cost.
Beyond financing, Drip Capital also runs a B2B commerce platform that connects growing businesses with verified global buyers and suppliers.
Meanwhile, the findings by Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI) showed that India’s MSME sector faces a credit gap of nearly Rs 30 lakh crore. This gap limits the ability to scale and participate in the trade.
