6. Revenue model
• They don’t intend to make money through logistics and commission at the
moment. Udaan funds working capital for its buyers and charge around 15-18 per
cent interest on it
• Financing is a major headache for end retailers. They typically end up borrowing
from local lenders
• So far, it has built a loan book of about Rs 170 to 200 crore and intends to take this
up to about Rs 750 crore by the end of the current fiscal year
• None is willing to get into financing small merchants. “Since Udaan knows about
the financial health of sellers through transaction history, understand the size of
working capital requirement and has the ability to recover, it’s in perfect position to
offer loans and collect them without much manpower involvemen
