Chennai-based Kaleidofin Capital Private Limited (KCPL), the NBFC subsidiary of Kaleidofin Private Limited, has secured a $5 million (approximately ₹47.765 crore) debt facility through Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) from WLB Asset VIIB Pte. Ltd.
Women’s Livelihood Bond (WLB) Asset VIIB Pte. Ltd. is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) established by Impact Investment Exchange (IIX), Singapore. The funds will be deployed across the clean energy and financial inclusion sectors. This four-year debenture marks Kaleidofin Capital’s entry into a new pool of international impact capital.
A key differentiator of the transaction is its Orange Certification, a globally recognized impact-certification framework pioneered by IIX. The certification validates financing that advances gender-positive outcomes and supports inclusive economic participation, offering investors credible assurance of measurable social impact alongside financial performance.
Puneet Gupta, Managing Director, Kaleidofin Capital Private Limited, said, “This investment, supported by the Orange Bond certification, validates our focus on expanding responsible credit access while creating measurable economic opportunities for women and underserved communities.”
Robert Kraybill, Chief Investment Officer, Impact Investment Exchange, said: “The Women’s Livelihood Bond Series has demonstrated across multiple issuances that capital can be deployed at scale with verified gender-positive outcomes and competitive financial returns.”
