Education-focused non-banking financial corporation (NBFC) Auxilo has secured Rs 100 crore (approximately $12 million) in a debt financing round. The board at Auxilo has issued non-convertible debentures (NCDs) at an issue price of Rs 1,00,000 each to raise Rs 100 crore ($12 million), its regulatory filing accessed from the Registrar of Companies (RoC) shows. Dezerv Securities pumped in Rs 26.39 crore while MAS Financial Services and CredAvenue Securities (Yubi) participated with Rs 25 crore each. The balance amount will be released by the investors soon. The NCDs issued to MAS Financial and CredAvenue (Yubi) have a tenure of 36 months with an interest rate of 9.65%, while the debentures issued to Dezerv have a tenure of 29 months with an annual coupon rate of 9.90%. The development coincides with Auxilo’s $33.6 million round led by private equity firm LeapFrog Investments. As per Auxilo, LeapFrog invested $30 million while Trifecta Leaders Fund-I and Xponentia Opportunities Fund-II pumped in the remaining capital. The current debt funding appears to be separate from the recent announcement. Auxilo has raised around $145 million across equity and debt since its inception including a $57 million funding round led by Tata Capital Growth in July last year. Established in 2017, Auxilo offers student loans for pursuing education within India or abroad. It also extends loans to educational institutions for infrastructure and working capital requirements. Since its inception, Auxilo claims to have provided education loans to over 12,000 students, across more than 1,100 universities and education institutes in over 30 countries. In the next 5 years, it aims to disburse Rs 25,000 crore worth loan to more than 150,000 students in India and overseas. The New Delhi-based company demonstrated strong financial performance, achieving over 2X year-on-year growth to reach Rs 174 crore in FY23. Moreover, its profits doubled to Rs 26 crore in FY23. The company is yet to file its annual results for FY24.
