We have had a great growth year in FY 2020-21 and have set aggressive goals for ourselves for this fiscal as well. LenDenClub has always believed that people are the fulcrum of any organisation. A strong team can make or break any business. We are well placed to meet the surge of digital loans during the pandemic and achieve our set targets. The rapid expansion of our team itself is a testimony to the potential of the sector, and we look forward to welcoming individuals who share our vision for the P2P lending space in the country while driving growth and competitiveness for LenDenClub.”
