What MediagraphixPR Actually Did Here
A $50 million raise is a big number. On its own, though, a big number doesn’t make headlines. It just makes a LinkedIn post. What Recur Club needed wasn’t an announcement, it was an argument: proof that India’s debt market was finally getting the AI-native overhaul it had been waiting for, and that Recur Club was the one building it.
Here’s how we got there.
◦ We built the narrative around validation, not celebration. Instead of framing the raise as “we got funded,” we framed it as evidence: proof that thousands of Indian startups and SMEs were finally being taken seriously by capital that used to ignore them. The story wasn’t about money. It was about what the money confirmed.
◦ We took the announcement straight to the outlets that decide what counts as credible. Twenty-plus placements across India’s sharpest business and financial press, including Economic Times, Hindu Business Line, Money control, Entrepreneur India, Deal Street Asia, Business World, and Inc42, because a fintech story only lands if the fintech crowd sees it first.
◦ We made the investor names do the heavy lifting. Info Edge Ventures and LC Nueva coming in wasn’t just a footnote. It was the credibility signal we built the entire pitch around. When marquee capital backs a company, that’s the story that gets other people to pay attention.
◦ We turned the announcement into a conversation, not a press blast. Thirty-plus organic reshares from LinkedIn pages like Young Turks, Entrepreneur Media India, Inc42, Business Line On Campus, and a stack of VC networks. That’s the kind of traction that happens when the story is actually worth sharing, not when it’s pushed.
◦ We put faces to the funding. Eklavya Gupta and Anurag Jain weren’t positioned as founders who happened to raise money. They were positioned as the people rewriting how non-dilutive capital works in India. They were positioned as thought leaders driving a shift, not just executives closing a round.
Recur Club: What They Actually Do
Recur Club runs India’s first AI-native debt marketplace, built for one purpose: letting startups and SMEs raise non-dilutive growth capital in under 48 hours, without handing over equity or control. The engine behind it is a set of proprietary AI credit models wired directly into business data, turning predictable revenue into upfront capital without the usual three-month wait.
In September 2025, that engine got serious backing. Recur Club closed a $50 million Series A, blending equity and debt funding led by InfoEdge Ventures, LC Nueva, and a consortium of global investors. The capital was aimed squarely at making access to funding as frictionless as a digital payment, both across India and in emerging markets beyond it.
The Challenge: Standing Out in a Market Full of Funding Announcements
Visibility on its own wasn’t the goal here. Recur Club could’ve gotten written up anywhere and called it a win. What it actually needed was coverage that stuck, the kind of result you expect from a PR agency in Delhi that’s spent years pitching India’s toughest business desks, the kind that turns a funding round into ownership of a category.
❯ Establish category leadership, not just company news. The story had to land Recur Club as India’s first AI-native debt marketplace in people’s minds, not just another fintech that happened to raise money this quarter.
❯ Position the raise as validation, not just capital. The story had to show the model actually holds up and that serious money is willing to back it, not just that the balance sheet got bigger.
❯ Cut through fintech funding fatigue. Funding announcements happen every week. This one needed a distinct capital philosophy built around non-dilutive, AI-led funding that made it impossible to lump in with the rest.
❯ Land coverage everywhere that matters, at the same time. Tier-1 business, startup, and financial media, backed by real digital and LinkedIn amplification, not staggered but launched all at once.

Press Release
Recur Club Announces $50M Funding to Revolutionize India’s SME and Startup Debt Ecosystem
New Delhi, 29th September 2025 – Recur Club, India’s fastest-growing AI-native debt marketplace, has raised $50 million to scale ‘autopilot’ debt financing, enabling startups and SMEs to secure debt faster, with less friction. The raise includes $8 million in equity funding led by Info Edge Ventures, LC Nueva, Physis Capital, String Ventures and Finvolveia, alongside $42 million in debt allocation to the platform from leading financial institutions, including Incred, Ugro Capital, and Lighthouse Canton.
Recur Club has connected 2,000+ companies to 100+ institutional lenders across 30+ customised debt products – cashflow financing, asset financing, working capital, invoice discounting, venture debt, acquisition financing, structured debt and lease financing across varied sectors like SaaS, Tech Services, D2C, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Pharmaceuticals, Solar and Agriculture. The new funds will be deployed to accelerate the growth of Recur’s AI-native debt marketplace launching new debt products and expanding into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and investing further into technology infrastructure. Recur Club has scaled 120% y-o-y and, with these new funds, is on track to achieve an annual debt run-rate of ₹10,000 crore by FY’27.
At the heart of Recur Club is AICA—our proprietary AI Credit Analyst, trusted by 100+ banks, NBFCs, and credit funds. AICA saves over 80% of the time typically spent on data collection, data room management, deal execution, due diligence, and CAM creation through its AI co-pilots and lending agents. Its AI-powered debt recommendation engine identifies the most suitable financing options for each borrower and matches them with the most relevant lenders at lightning speed. This enables companies to raise unsecured loans in under 48 hours and structured, collateral-backed growth capital in less than three weeks – a process that traditionally takes over three months.
Since its inception, Recur Club has facilitated over ₹3,000 crore in debt sanctions, backing companies such as MoveInSync, Zypp, Sagar Asia, Kimbal, Captain Fresh, and Palmonas. With a balanced mix of secured and unsecured disbursals, the platform mirrors real founder needs—from unlocking working capital quickly to enabling structured growth with secured credit for expansion, equipment, or asset-backed financing.
“Founders choose Recur Club because we make debt raising a simple, transparent and fast process by curating ideal capital structures mapped with the Company’s business plan – a true technology-led capital advisory. By 2030, our ambition is to power 2% of India’s $1 trillion SME and startup debt market by making debt accessible like flowing water,” said Eklavya Gupta, Founder & Co-CEO of Recur Club.
Abhinav Sherwal, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, added: “Raising debt in India has traditionally been slow, opaque, and fragmented, filled with scattered applications, endless follow-ups, and delayed disbursals. At Recur Club, we have rebuilt this experience ground up with AI lending agents where technology stays invisible while founders raise capital and keep their focus on scaling their businesses instead of chasing paperwork.”
Echoing this confidence, Amit Behl, Partner at Infoedge, said: “AI is transforming industries worldwide, but corporate lending in India has remained slow and relationship based. Recur Club is changing that. By building a full-stack debt marketplace with AI at its core, they are making capital faster, smarter, and truly founder-first. This is not just an incremental improvement—it is a fundamental reset of how credit flows to businesses in India, and we are excited to back a team with the vision and execution to build the future of credit.”
