We at Niiti Consulting feel so honoured to take a few steps alongside the Rang De team in your journey to enable women at the grassroots to be financially resilient, own assets and exercise their agency. More power to you and your amazing partners in the field. I firmly believe this collective action to create local ecosystems for women to thrive is what will bring sustainable transformation!

Ramakrishna NK Rang De doing appreciable work. I hope these changes will make a chain of change where everyone try to help each other and grow together.

Smita Ram you people are doing great job. Submitting the following information for others who read this reply - Folks, I use Rakshabandhan and Bhai Dooj to donate to Rang De women entrepreneurs on behalf of all my sisters, instead of giving gifts to my sisters. My sisters don’t mind at all. Hope you follow my steps. I promise, your sisters, too, won’t mind. 🥰

In a world where most chase titles, profits, and the next big valuation, Rang De’s quiet focus on impact, purpose, and real change is deeply inspiring! 🙏

Affordable and hassle-free credit is crucial for smallholder farmers to gain the agency they need to avoid distress selling and purchase agri-inputs on time. For generations, farmers have relied on local moneylenders or Adatiyas for everything—from buying seeds to selling their produce—often trapping them in cycles of debt and vulnerability. By ensuring access to fair credit, we empower farmers to make independent financial decisions, ultimately strengthening the rural economy. Kudos to Rang De for addressing this critical challenge and working towards a more sustainable and dignified future for our farmers!

In 2021, Girish Shilamkar introduced me to Rang De, a peer-to-peer lending platform. After learning about social entrepreneurship and the success of Grameen Bank, my confidence in micro-financing grew, and I embarked on my social investing journey about eight months ago. I kicked off 2025 with a four-day Social Investing trip in Rajasthan, where I witnessed firsthand the transformative impact of social investments on people's lives. It was an eye-opening experience that reinforced my belief in the power of financial inclusion. I highly encourage you to explore Rang De and consider giving social investing a try! I'm sharing my experiences from the Social Impact trip in my blog—check it out, and feel free to ask me any questions. 😊 📖 Blog:

Thank you Rang De for this mention. I have been following your work for last several years and was so happy to find a platform that enables social investors to reach the needy rural entrepreneurs to bridge their funding gaps at low interest rates and many of us were happy to do this in the initial phase with zero interest until RBI came with new rules…… Great job by Ramakrishna NK and Smita Ram for creating this wonderful platform…., Wishing you all good wishes as you grow this platform to reach more rural entrepreneurs….. Encourage Friends and contacts in my network to look at investing through this platform and create more livelihoods….,you can track your investments and get great reports….,, #Ruralentreprenuers #fundinggap #ruralfinance #livelihood

A platform that is well-governed for social investment. Rang De, thank you for helping us achieve our social goals!! 🙏

I am delighted to have found Rang De and wanted to introduce it to you, the readers here or may be re-introduce it here. I am assuming that I found it pretty late in the day but then, better late than never! So, here I am , very happy to find and explore social investment through Rang De ! Please do visit its page on LinkedIn and its website to explore ways to set-up your social investment portfolio. This investment portfolio is rewarding in ways that one cannot measure, its priceless! More than that and of course with due regard to our personal and professional priorities too, a little bit of social investment by us can bring about a huge difference in the lives of those who may be less privileged but equally or more deserving and hardworking than any one here! It's a kind of social responsibility that those with privilege , position, financial security should take upon themselves, be it with Rang De or any other opportunities of one's choice. And Rang De is a wonderful platform to explore this and build our social investment portfolios! It's interesting how I found out at Rang De through a social media platform , the then Twitter , while following one of their team members , who posts amazing book recommendations and interesting and thoughtful quotes!! #socialinvestements

Thank you Rang De for driving social impact and providing low cost financial solutions for the underserved and unbanked rural farmers and entrepreneurs for their livelihoods and education need. Keep the good work going! 👏

I have recently signed on with Rang De; they are possibly India's first regulated social P2P lending platform that is making a tangible impact at the grassroots level. Smita Ram, Ramakrishna NK and their teams have been doing an amazing work here over almost 17 years now. You can also contribute to this journey; pls take some time to review their work, follow Rang De, and see if it makes sense for you to become a social investor on the platform.

My year started on two good notes, one professional and one personal. Professionally, the first working day of 2025 for me started in India as I kicked off a 5-city 14-day Xylem India business visit to meet our India team, customers and partners. Coincidentally, on the personal front, I also hit a nice personal milestone the first day. I crossed 2000 rural Indian entrepreneurs that I’ve provided micro loans to via Rang De, translating to ~22,800 days of livelihood in rural India. Rang De provides low interest peer-to-peer loans to rural India. It enables highly leveraged donations for social investors. The real return by my calcs is -3% to -5% (due to losses to inflation and non-performing assets), which translates to the social investment having 20-35x greater impact than traditional donations. To join 10,000 social investors on the platform, all you need is an Indian bank account. You can join my social investment team using the referral code: KISH7664.

The Rang De team has its heart and mind at the right place. And that singularly may set the course for success. Continue doing the good work, moving forward one little step at a time. All the best!
