History

CreditAccess Grameen (CA Grameen) is leading the charge, which was established in 1999 by Vinatha M. Reddy, who was inspired by the book “Give Us Credit” by Alex Counts, President & CEO of Grameen Foundation, U.S.A. Reddy, who was then running an NGO — "T Muniswammapa Trust", was inspired by what she read and managed to obtain a USD 35,000 grant from the Grameen Foundation to create a replica in India. As a result, Grameen Koota was born, and as the concept grew in popularity, the company was renamed Grameen Financial Services Private Limited in October 2007. Since then, the former owners have made way for a slew of new promoters, including CreditAccess India B.V., a Dutch-based Asia-focused microfinance major that has invested INRRs. 968 crore in CA Grameen since 2009. Though Reddy is no longer involved, her original idea lives on through Udaya Kumar Hebbar, who joined as CEO in 2010, but has acquired a larger role as MD and CEO since 2016.[10]

In 2018, was listed on National Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange with INR 1,131 crore-IPO.[11]

In Sep 2019, Citigroup partnered with CA Grameen to finance 75,000 Women Entrepreneurs in India.[12]
