About Us

indiagold has built a product & technology platform that enables regulated entities to launch or grow their asset backed products across geographies; without investing in operations, technology, people or taking any valuation, storage or transit risks.


Our use of deep-tech is changing how asset backed loans have been done traditionally. Some examples of our innovation are - lending against digital gold, 100% paperless/digital loan onboarding process, computer vision to test gold purity as opposed to manual testing, auto- scheduling of feet-on-street, customer self-onboarding, gold locker model to expand TAM & launch zero-touch gold loans, zero network business app & many more.


We are rapidly growing team passionate about solving massive challenges around financial well-being.


We are a rapidly growing organisation with empowered opportunities across Sales, Business Development, Partnerships, Sales Operations, Credit, Pricing, Customer Service, Business Product, Design, Product, Engineering, People & Finance across several cities. We value the right aptitude & attitude than past experience in a related role, so feel free to reach out if you believe we can be good for each other.
