We believe in promoting all round development of the economy and have thus lent our hand of support to enterprises based out of rural areas of the country through our GRID programme. Through this initiative, we promote grassroots initiatives/technologies, particularly those having export potential. We seek to help artisans/producer groups/clusters/small enterprises across the country to realize remunerative return on their produce essentially through facilitating exports from these units.
We understand the needs of such organisations and offer tailor-made financial products to cater to their needs. We work towards developing a robust, vibrant and holistic approach by providing assistance at various stages of product development / business cycle. The broad areas that we support include capacity building, matching grant support for product/process certification and design and packaging enhancement, working capital finance, term lending for development of common facility centres, construction of raw material bank, technology upgradation and creation of export capability.
