About Lokta

The team behind Apache Fineract and Finflux — now building Lokta.

The AI-native lending stack. What we'd build if we started today.

Our track record

We built the rails the industry runs on.

  • $500B+ Cumulative loan principal
  • 65M+ Borrowers reached
  • 70 Countries

Aggregate impact attributed to the Mifos / Apache Fineract ecosystem, not Lokta directly.

Why we started over

A decade in, we knew exactly what we'd rebuild.

A decade across Fineract and Finflux showed us where every lender bleeds: credit policy that goes stale the day it ships, underwriting that scales with headcount, ops cost that climbs with the book.

Lokta is what we'd build if we started today — AI-native from the ground up, with the lending operation on autopilot.

What Lokta does

Lending on autopilot — run end to end.

Tell us your product and risk appetite. Agents stand up the operation — underwriting, pricing, disbursal, collections.

01

Stand it up

Agents wire underwriting to your bureau and alt-data, set pricing, and turn on disbursal and collections.

02

It sharpens itself

Every application, repayment, and recovery feeds a richer borrower model. The book sharpens itself the more it lends.

03

Profit per rupee disbursed

Agents test hundreds of underwriting rules in the time a risk team ships one — and promote the winners automatically.

Our AI philosophy

The agent proposes. The deterministic engine disposes.

Deterministic Core

The system of record cannot guess. Disbursals, interest, fees, postings, and compliance are computed the same way every time — predictable outcomes with full audit trails.

  • Zero-surprise computation
  • Audit-ready, regulator-grade

Workflow & Agentic AI

With the core reliable, agents drive speed — handling exceptions, follow-ups, and policy tests inside guardrails. Humans stay in control where it matters.

  • Orchestration across teams and systems
  • Guardrails, approvals, and action logs

The core keeps the math honest; the agents move policy faster. The metric is the one lenders have always cared about — profit per rupee disbursed.

Where credit is going

Today: lending operations. Tomorrow: programmable credit.

Today

Lokta runs lending for fintechs and NBFCs — agents stand up the operation, the book sharpens itself, the lender focuses on growth.

Tomorrow

As credit becomes programmable and agent-mediated, Lokta is the layer underneath that decides, prices, and disburses in real time.
