The heart-warming video from the ‘Circle of Life’ series by Equitas Small Finance Bank tells the story of Kamatchi, a farmer who faced daunting challenges, majorly lack of water being one of the reasons for the demise of his once-thriving agriculture business.
Recognising his entrepreneurial drive and enthusiasm to resurrect his agri-business, Equitas provided two loans that became the seeds of his transformation. With them, Kamatchi blossomed, launching a brickyard and a mic set business. These side ventures not only generated steady income but also helped him repay his loans. Meanwhile, he applied his newfound resources to his farm, boosting productivity and paving the way for a brighter agricultural future.
