Drip Capital, a fintech company focused on cross-border trade financing, has partnered with YES BANK to improve access to trade finance for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The collaboration was announced at the GTR India 2026 conference.
The partnership aims to address the credit challenges faced by MSMEs involved in international trade by combining Drip Capital’s digital trade finance platform with YES BANK’s banking infrastructure and customer network.
Through the collaboration, MSMEs are expected to benefit from faster credit approvals, simplified documentation processes and improved access to working capital, helping them manage business operations and navigate uncertainties in global markets.
India’s MSME sector continues to face a significant credit gap, particularly in the area of cross-border trade. As global trade becomes more complex, the demand for technology-driven financing solutions is increasing. The partnership seeks to bridge this gap by leveraging Drip Capital’s digital underwriting and trade enablement capabilities alongside YES BANK’s extensive banking reach.
Commenting on the partnership, Pushkar Mukewar, Co-Founder and CEO, Drip Capital, said, “Access to timely and reliable trade finance remains a key constraint for MSMEs participating in global trade. This partnership with YES BANK allows us to scale our reach and embed our financing solutions within a strong banking ecosystem. By combining our digital underwriting capabilities with YES BANK’s client network, we aim to enable faster credit access and help businesses navigate cross-border trade with greater confidence.”
Deepak Gandhi, Director, Business Head (Exports & Pre-Shipment), Drip Capital, added, “Exporters today are navigating increasing complexity across markets, from payment cycles to buyer risks. Through this partnership, we are focused on simplifying access to working capital and strengthening the overall trade experience for businesses. Our presence at GTR India 2026 reflects our continued commitment to building strong industry collaborations that support MSME exporters at scale.”
Dimple Chitnis, National Head Trade Supply Chain, Bullion and FES, Transaction Banking Group, YES BANK, said, “At YES BANK, we are committed to supporting our customers, particularly MSMEs, with a diverse range of financial solutions tailored to meet their evolving business needs. Through digital innovation and easy cross-border export finance, and in partnership with Drip Capital, we are expanding our customers’ access to specialized trade finance.
