Rupeek Eyes $50 Million to Accelerate India's Digital Gold Lending Business
India's fintech ecosystem continues to evolve, and digital lending remains one of its fastest-growing segments. Rupeek, the Bengaluru-based gold loan startup, is reportedly planning to raise $50 million in fresh funding to accelerate its next phase of growth.
Founded in 2015 by Sumit Maniyar, Rupeek introduced a branchless, technology-driven approach to gold-backed lending. Instead of relying on traditional bank visits, customers can access loans through a digital platform with simplified onboarding, gold evaluation, and faster disbursement.

The fresh capital is expected to strengthen Rupeek's technology infrastructure, expand lending operations, enhance customer experience, and reinforce its position in India's growing digital lending market.
