Who we are

Neev is a non-banking finance company (NBFC), incorporated with a socio-economic objective of making better education affordable to the masses in India. It has been founded by a group of three highly qualified professionals with a vision to remove the biggest barrier to quality education in our country, viz., availability of finances with the parents to be able to provide the best possible education for their children.

Neev is currently operating at Bengaluru, Kolkata & Mumbai with plans to expand operations in many more cities very soon. We have extensive tie-ups with some of the most renowned schools / Colleges and Other Institutions in these cities and are currently aiming to provide financial assistance to the parents of children studying at these schools / Colleges and Other Institutions

Our raison d'être

Quality education forms the bedrock of sustainable development of any country. As India gears to become the workforce powerhouse of the world, enabling structures need to be put in place that ensures world class education for all in the country.

Every parent dreams of providing best in class education for their children, and sometimes they go beyond their means to ensure a brighter future for the child. Increasingly, there is a trend in India wherein schools / Colleges and Other Institutions are gradually moving to collecting fees from parents on an annual, half yearly or quarterly basis as against the traditional mechanism of monthly payments. A fee structure like this helps the schools / Colleges and Other Institutions in managing its cash flows with much greater certainty. However, there is a significant section of the middle class society in the country that finds it very difficult to fulfil the lump sum payment requirement because of the severity of this amount on their regular monthly income. As a result, they resort to either an expensive or hassle prone form of borrowing to ensure that their child’s educational progress does not get hampered.

We at Neev, believe this problem could be addressed through an innovative mechanism that provides the necessary financing to the parents, that not only eases the cash flow situation of the parent but also provides an opportunity to admit their ward at better schools / Colleges and Other Institutions
