BlackSoil registers 100% growth in disbursement

BlackSoil, a venture debt platform focused on structured and real estate debt, has registered year-on-year growth of over 100% in disbursement as the company cumulatively disbursed Rs 2,000 crore of debt deals via its credit platform of NBFC and AIFs.

So far the platform has disbursed 120+ deals and exited completely 50% of them. BlackSoil currently manages an alternative credit platform comprising of a RBI registered NBFC and three SEBI registered AIFs.

“We take advantage of our deep know-how to identify future bankable companies as well as offer structured credit solutions for next gen SME companies. We are agnostic when it comes to industry and ticket sizes, and flexible in deal structuring terms unlike vanilla venture debt. This generates substantial deal flow and enables us to underwrite a multitude of transactions across sectors,” said Ankur Bansal, Director of BlackSoil.


The company recently raised Rs 125 crore in its initial close of its alternative investment fund (AIF), BlackSoil India Credit Fund, which is looking to raise overall Rs 350 crore.

This is the third AIF to be launched by BlackSoil after successfully raising Rs 480 crore in the first two AIFs which were focused on the real estate credit asset class.

BlackSoil’s NBFC also last year raised over Rs 100 crore in NCDs from various family offices and HNIs.
