Posted on February 21, 2024 By

New Delhi (India), February 21: Ascend Capital, a NBFC specializing in electric vehicle (EV) financing, announces the successful closure of its Series A funding round, securing INR 50 crore in Equity Capital. The funding round was led by InfoEdge Ventures and Asha Ventures, demonstrating a strong vote of confidence in Ascend Capital’s innovative business model and growth trajectory.

Leveraging this momentum, Ascend Capital plans to utilize the Series A funding to further bolster its presence across multiple geographies and aims to achieve an assets under management (AUM) target of INR 300 crore within the next two years.

Speaking on the significance of this funding round, Lokesh Chandra, Co-founder of Ascend Capital, expressed his optimism, stating, “With this fundraiser, we plan to expand in 30 cities focusing on Rajasthan, UP, MP, Delhi NCR and other states of the country.
