Dvara E-Registry, a start-up and new initiative promoted by the Chennai-headquartered
financial conglomerate Dvara Trust, aims to help channel financial products to rural India

technologies like mobile and GIS and the power of Machine Learning, Dvara E-Registry
aspires to enable the rural under-banked to participate seamlessly in the mainstream
financial marketplaces and facilitates customisation of banking and insurance products.

is to ensure that every individual and enterprise has complete access to financial services.
The Trust invests in and supports commercial efforts that advance this mission and works
towards bringing about systemic change that impacts millions of low-income households in
rural and urban India.
Dvara Trust’s portfolio companies include –
Northern Arc Capital (Formerly known as IFMR Capital), a Non-Banking Finance
Company that provides access to debt for under-banked individuals and businesses in
India. Through a combination of capital, products and partnerships, it has created a
