Shubham Housing Development Finance Company Limited is a housing finance company that provides home loans to low-income borrowers. The loans can be used by borrowers to purchase a home, home improvement, expansion or from-the-ground-up construction. Shubham works in 75 cities across 9 states in India and has over 100 branches. They have financed over 55,000 homes.

Client Naresh Kumar owns a grocery store but was travelling a long distance to get to work every day. After visiting a local Shubham branch office, he was able to purchase an apartment above his shop. This has cut down his travel time and allowed him to spend more time with his family.
