Vivek Oberoi recently shared insights about his rapidly growing money-lending startup, valued at ₹3,400 crore. The startup focuses on providing education fee financing for students without the need for collateral. In a video shared by Franchise India, Oberoi outlined his startup’s mission to introduce a zero-interest payment plan.
He mentioned that his personal brand has helped attract attention to the venture. The startup has already reached about 12,000 schools, colleges, and universities through a B2B network. It has since shifted to a direct-to-customer model, gaining valuable data from about 45 lakh students.
This extensive reach and data have contributed significantly to the business’s valuation of around ₹3,400 crore (nearly $400 million). Despite his company’s high valuation, Oberoi maintains a down-to-earth approach.

“I like doing things that create a positive social impact in my country from the grassroots up,” he noted. His business ventures have provided him the freedom to pursue his passion for acting and focus on stories that resonate with him. “Acting is my passion, and business is the enabler.
It has got me to a point where I can pursue my passion purely,” said the actor. Vivek Oberoi’s entrepreneurial journey exemplifies the fusion of business acumen and passion for social change.
