IIFL Samasta has been serving economically underserved communities since its inception in 2008. While its primary focus lies on providing economic opportunities to the underserved, it is IIFL Samasta’s constant endeavor to create a positive impact in the community beyond business. Through its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and community outreach programs, IIFL Samasta nurtures a holistic approach towards financial inclusion and sustainable development.

An unrelenting focus on customers

We realise the importance of social interventions in terms of reach and overall impact on the lives of people living on the margins, hence we provide more than just loans. The company has rolled out various initiatives under the CSR program to empower the communities it serves. IIFL Samasta aspires to create an impact in society at large; however, women, children, marginalised communities and the elderly are given priority. IIFL Samasta’s flagship CSR projects are focused on financial literacy for rural women, skill development for youth and cattle well being for farmers.
