Paisabazaar will open retail stores across the region, with the first store coming up in Chennais T Nagar, one of the busiest commercial hubs, in the first week of May. This will be followed by two stores in Mount Road and Velachery in Chennai. The expansion of its physical stores is in line with Paisabazaars focus on reaching new consumersparticularly small business owners, a credit-starved segmentand enabling easier access to credit.In the next phase, Paisabazaar will enter the Bengaluru market with three stores. Paisabazaar is building its offline expansion in South India on the success of its retail stores in Delhi-NCR which it opened last year. Paisabazaar plans to open 100 storesacross key markets including Mumbai, Delhi/NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and other major metros across India. Santosh Agarwal, CEO, Paisabazaar, said, As a platform, we have served consumers across 860 cities across India. With our expansion of retail stores, we aim to extend this reach through a physical presence as wellespecially for consumers who are less comfortable navigating digital journeys and value expert guidance. Our stores will play a key role in providing that support while retaining the transparency and choice of our platform. These retail stores offer consumers a personalised experience to help them access the right products and best offers, across business loans, personal loans, home loans and credit cards along with expert advice to help strengthen credit profiles. For first-time borrowers, an in-person experience provides reassurance and confidence. This is especially important for products like home loans and business loans, where the processes are more complex and documentation is heavier. Our phygital model is designed to provide this balance offering speed and choice digitally, plus trust and guidance physically. We see this as a catalyst for bringing more Indians into the ambit of formal credit, Santosh Agarwal said. Additionally,Udyam registration, GST registration, and GST filing services will also be available across all these retail stores. These services are aimed at self-employed individuals, who often face challenges arising from inadequate documentation, insufficient financial records, and limited familiarity with digital channels.
