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.
