Overview

Indian School Finance Company (ISFC) is a leading NBFC-ICC registered with the RBI, originally established in 2008 to provide education finance to affordable private schools, vocational centers, and institutions. Over the years, ISFC supported 5,500+ schools and built a strong presence across 15 states, 110 locations, and 150+ districts.

Recognizing changing market needs, ISFC strategically pivoted to become an impact-driven lender, backed by Gray Matters Capital (GMC). The company now provides financial solutions for MSMEs, women entrepreneurs, social enterprises, and businesses in high-impact sectors such as employability, livelihoods, skilling, and financial inclusion.

We are proud to be one of the first company in the world to exclusively fund education institutions . Earlier these institutions, especially affordable private schools were facing challenges to get funding from the formal financial sector, as a result the requirements were met either by borrowing from unorganized market at higher cost or these projects were delayed/shelved till accumulations from internal accruals. Now with ISFC funding, these institutions can undertake their projects as planned without delays.

ISFC offers a range of sector-agnostic debt products, including business growth loans, working capital loans, and impact credit solutions, ensuring businesses scale, innovate, and create social impact. By leveraging technology-driven lending, risk assessment models, and customer-centric financing, ISFC remains committed to responsible lending, financial inclusion, and sustainable growth, fostering economic empowerment and long-term business success.

Our efforts are widely appreciated and we are proud to have earned the confidence and trust of our customers, lenders and our investors.
