In this episode of #DamaniTalks, we sit with Simran Singh, the Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at RNFI. RNFI is one of India’s fastest-growing fintech companies, now listed with a ₹700 Cr+ market cap. They didn’t raise VC money, they didn’t chase headlines, they just got to work. In his first-ever podcast appearance, Simran shares how RNFI was built into a profitable public company serving over 10 lakh customers a month, with a network of 1.7 lakh+ sahayaks across India.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The unexpected origin story behind RNFI
  • Why losing money early helped shape the company
  • Building in rural India without cutting corners
  • How Simran tracks profitability every single day
  • The trust-first culture that turned 70 people into founders
  • Listing without raising a rupee in venture funding
  • Why he now reports to a CEO and loves it

Why You Should Watch

If you’re building quietly, thinking long-term, and wondering if scale without VC funding is still possible, this conversation is for you. Simran breaks down what it really takes to build something real, without buzzwords, burn, or a backup plan. This is not the story of disruption. It’s the story of showing up, every single day.
