The Shriram Group, established in 1974, is one of India’s most respected and enduring financial services conglomerates. What began as a humble chit fund business rooted in the spirit of community finance has, over the past 52 years, grown into a diversified powerhouse serving millions of customers across the country.
Founded by Mr. R. Thyagarajan with the vision of empowering the common man through financial inclusion, the Group continues to uphold his guiding mantra of “People First.”
Backed by the strength of 1,18,000+ employees across all group entities, a robust network of 4,700+ branches and service centres nationwide, and with ₹3.65 lakh crore in Assets Under Management (AUM) and the trust of 30.91 million active customers (as of December 2025).
Shriram Group’s unwavering focus has always been financial inclusion— be it enabling the truck driver seeking his first vehicle loan, the small entrepreneur building a business from scratch, or protecting the most vulnerable. This founding principle of financial inclusion remains the Group’s most powerful differentiator.
