Kaleidofin Capital Secures USD 5 Million International Impact Debt Facility Backed by Orange Certification from Impact Investment Exchange
Chennai : Kaleidofin Capital Private Limited (KCPL), the NBFC subsidiary of Kaleidofin Private Limited, has secured a USD 5 million (approximately INR 47.765 crore) debt facility through Non-Convertible Debentures (NCDs) from WLB Asset VIIB Pte. Ltd. Women’s Livelihood Bond (WLB) Asset VIIB Pte. Ltd. is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) established by Impact Investment Exchange (IIX), Singapore. The funds will be deployed across the clean energy and financial inclusion sectors. This four-year debenture marks Kaleidofin Capital’s entry into a new pool of international impact capital and reinforces its commitment to responsible and inclusive finance.
A key differentiator of the transaction is its Orange Certification, a globally recognized impact-certification framework pioneered by IIX. The certification validates financing that advances gender-positive outcomes and supports inclusive economic participation, offering investors credible assurance of measurable social impact alongside financial performance. KCPL leverages its proprietary ki score and ki view for customer selection and risk management, and partners with high-quality originators selected through a rigorous due diligence process.
Puneet Gupta, Managing Director, Kaleidofin Capital Private Limited, said “We are pleased to partner with IIX, whose commitment to inclusive finance closely aligns with our mission.This investment, supported by the Orange Bond certification, validates our focus on expanding responsible credit access while creating measurable economic opportunities for women and underserved communities.” This investment in Kaleidofin Capital forms part of IIX’s broader Women’s Livelihood Bond™ 7 (WLB7).
IIX recently closed the second tranche of the WLB7, bringing total issuance across both tranches to USD 92 million. The WLB Series’ multi-sector approach reflects the reality of the communities it serves — women and underserved populations face compounding vulnerabilities across livelihoods, climate, and access to finance simultaneously. This underscores the growing recognition of Orange Bonds as a cross-cutting asset class, and why inclusion is increasingly seen as foundational to effective climate action, not separate from it.
Robert Kraybill, Chief Investment Officer, Impact Investment Exchange, said: “The Women’s Livelihood Bond Series has demonstrated across multiple issuances that capital can be deployed at scale with verified gender-positive outcomes and competitive financial returns. This transaction with Kaleidofin Capital continues that track record. The Orange Certification is a signal to the broader market that inclusive, gender-positive outcomes can be measured and delivered alongside sound financial performance.”
