Thanking Great Places to Work (GPTW), Ms. Ananya Birla, Founder and Chairperson of Svatantra Microfin, Chairperson Svatantra Micro Housing Finance Corporation Limited and Co-Chairman of ASSOCHAM Microfinance, said, “Svatantra’s journey began with a vision to make women in rural areas self-sustainable. The Microfinance segment is a challenging client servicing space and thus requires a great amount of dedication, integrity and teamwork. Our employee-centric policies and practices have helped us build a nationally recognised, award-winning, trusted brand. I was aware from the very start that we need a passionate, driven team with a sound value system, and I still remember interviewing and hiring each one of the core team. An empowered and enriched workforce is the backbone of a company’s success framework. I feel proud of the immense work that has gone into making a winning work culture and Great Places to Work only reinforces my faith in our team and the company’s purpose.”
Svatantra Microfin provided microloans to more than a million rural women entrepreneurs served by 3900+ employees across 14 states, of which most of them are working in deep rural areas. As a responsible lender, the company also offers effective services like cashless Mediclaim, accident and content insurance to make its clients both financially included and self-sustained. It is hard-work, but inclusive, culture and decision-making at Svatantra ensures that each employee has equal representation and this certification validates company's approach – of being a highly credible, respected and a fair work-place.
