Fintech startup BASIC Home Loan has raised $10.6 million (Rs 87.5 crore) in its Series B round led by Bertelsmann India Investments (BII), along with CE-Ventures.

Existing investor Ashish Kacholia invested further and increased his stake in BASIC. The round also saw participation from existing investors, including Gruhas, Let’s Venture, 9Unicorns, and Venture Catalysts.
