Digitizing NBFC Lending Operations with Intelligrow
Intelligrow helped Celestium transform manual lending into a digital, efficient, scalable NBFC platform built on Mifos X and Apache Fineract.

NBFC headquartered in Bangalore and Chennai
Established in 1995, Celestium has built a strong lending presence with a focus on fast loan disbursement and accessible credit.
A digital path from application to disbursement
Inspired by modern digital lending UX patterns like paperless onboarding, progress visibility, and loan dashboards, the platform focuses on speed, transparency, and lower operational effort.
Scaling lending with manual processes created operational bottlenecks
Celestium needed to digitize loan applications, verification, compliance, reporting, and portfolio visibility to support faster growth.
Manual loan processing
- Application handling was time-consuming
- Heavy dependency on documents and manual verification
- Delays in approvals and disbursement
Limited digital infrastructure
- No fully digital loan journey
- Lack of customer self-service capabilities
- Operational dependency on internal teams
Complex documentation and compliance
- KYC validation
- Bank statements and IT returns
- Manual checks increasing turnaround time
Scalability constraints
- Increasing demand from MSMEs and individuals
- Need to process applications faster
- Requirement for a scalable backend system
Limited reporting and visibility
- Lack of real-time insights
- Difficulty tracking portfolio performance
- Limited decision-making capabilities
