Digital banking platform Freo has secured an undisclosed debt funding from Small Industries Development Bank of India (SIDBI). This marks SIDBI's first debt investment in a fintech business. Freo plans to use the funds to expand into new categories and segments and to accelerate its pan-India reach. SIDBI's investment in Freo reflects its confidence in the potential of the fintech sector to promote financial inclusion and entrepreneurship in India. In 2023, India's fintech industry saw a 63% decline in VC funding, raising only $3 billion compared to the previous year's $8 billion.
