Vivek Oberoi reveals his ₹3400 crore money-lending business, explains why he prefers economy class

Actor Vivek Oberoi recently spoke about his money-lending business for students, valued at around ₹3400 crore. In a video shared by Franchise India, he revealed his plans to introduce a zero-interest payment plan. He also mentioned using his personal brand to draw attention.

Vivek said to Hindustan Times, "I set up a start-up which was into education fee financing, non-collateralised. That became very big. We reached 12,000 schools, colleges, and universities through a B2B network. But then we went on to connect to the C and owned that data. We knew our customers directly, which was 45 lakh individuals who were going to school or college. That was very rich data, and that’s how the company was valued at almost $400 million (around ₹3400 crore). "

Adding more, he stated, "What I realised is when I leveraged my association there, it got me two things. It had a positive social impact, which was authentic to who I am because I like doing things that create a positive social impact in my country from the grassroots up. It helped me a lot...When I fly personally, I fly first class and business class. Whenever I fly for a company that I'm a co-founder of, I fly economy with the whole team."

In a recent interview with PTI, Vivek Oberoi shared that his business ventures have provided him with the freedom to focus on his passion for acting and allow him to choose roles and stories that truly resonate with him.

The 'Masti' actor said, "Acting is my passion and business is the enabler. It has got me to a point where I can pursue my passion purely. There's no compulsion to do something that I'm not enjoying or bow to a lobby or do any of that. It (business) has given me that freedom."

On the work front, Vivek Oberoi is set to begin shooting 'Masti 4' alongside Riteish Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani early next year. He will also start another schedule of an action thriller with Tiger Shroff. Additionally, the actor has completed filming for Vishal Ranjan Mishra's action thriller Grey, opposite Nithya Menon. Vivek was last seen in Rohit Shetty's debut OTT series 'Indian Police Force'.
