The Backdrop: Who is Hero FinCorp?
Established in 1991, Hero FinCorp began primarily as a captive finance company supporting Hero MotoCorp customers. But over the last decade, it has evolved into a full-spectrum NBFC with offerings ranging from:
- Two-wheeler and used car loans,
- Personal and business loans,
- SME financing,
- Loan against property,
- Corporate lending and more.
With more than 2,000 retail touchpoints and a growing digital footprint, the company has built a customer base that spans both urban and semi-urban India. Hero FinCorp is also recognized for its asset-light and tech-forward lending model, which has helped it expand rapidly while maintaining asset quality.
