Established in 2009 as a non-banking financial company (NBFC), Annapurna Finance evolved from a not-for-profit organization called People’s Forum, which began microfinance activities in the early 1990s. The company's core mission is to promote financial inclusion by offering micro-loans, savings products, and other financial services to the unbanked and underserved populations in rural and semi-urban India. It primarily serves women entrepreneurs and self-help groups (SHGs), aiming to foster sustainable livelihoods and economic empowerment at the grassroots level.
