Drip Capital Crosses USD 9 Bn in MSME Trade Finance Transactions

Drip Capital, a global fintech firm focused on trade finance and B2B commerce, has crossed USD 9 billion in cumulative cross-border trade finance transactions for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) since its inception in 2016. The milestone reflects the company’s growing role in helping smaller businesses access working capital and participate in international trade.

In the financial year 2025-26 alone, the company claims to have facilitated over USD 2 billion in transactions, with MSMEs accounting for a significant portion. Building on this momentum, Drip Capital is now aiming to surpass USD 11 billion in cumulative transactions by 2027, indicating a targeted growth of around 25 percent in business volumes.

Pushkar Mukewar, Co-founder and CEO of Drip Capital, said, “Global trade today demands more than just access to capital. MSMEs need a reliable partner to navigate uncertainty, unlock the right opportunities, and manage risk effectively.” He added, “Crossing the USD 9 billion milestone reflects the trust that MSMEs worldwide have placed in us.”

Technology has played a central role in the company’s expansion. Over the years, Drip Capital has built a large dataset covering trade activity across more than 100 countries. This data supports its AI and ML models, which are used to assess credit risk, verify trade documents, and evaluate the reliability of buyers and suppliers in real time. As a result, the company is able to approve financing within 24 to 48 hours, significantly faster than traditional processes that can take several weeks.

Beyond financing, the firm also operates a B2B commerce platform that connects businesses with verified global buyers and suppliers. This platform allows companies to identify partners, manage transactions, and participate in international supply chains more efficiently.

Founded in 2016 by Pushkar Mukewar and Neil Kothari, Drip Capital is headquartered in California with a strong presence in Mumbai. The company claims to have supported over 11,000 businesses globally and continues to address the wider trade finance gap faced by MSMEs, particularly in emerging markets.
