About Vaanij Capital

We believe credit shouldn't be a privilege.

Building access to credit for the millions of Indian SMBs who deserve it — by connecting them with regulated lenders, transparently.

Mission

70% of Indian SMBs report difficulty accessing formal credit.

Most go to informal lenders at 30–50% APR. Vaanij exists to fix this — by connecting credit-worthy SMBs with regulated lenders at fair, transparent rates. We're a marketplace and DSA, not a lender. Our incentives align with borrowers: we earn when good loans get matched with good lenders.

The founder

Kanik Goyal

Founder, Vaanij

  • B.Com (Hons)
  • LL.B
  • Former Advocate, Delhi High Court

Kanik Goyal is the founder of Vaanij. With a degree in commerce, a degree in law and time at the Bar as an advocate of the Delhi High Court, Kanik reads a balance sheet and a loan agreement with equal care.

Vaanij Capital is built on one conviction: credit should be explained before it is sold. So the platform shows what a lender will look at, what a loan will really cost and what the fine print says — and leaves the choice of lender with the business owner.

Kanik also designs and builds the software behind the Vaanij suite — Accounts, Arbitration and Capital — which is why an application here can start from your own books instead of a stack of paper.
