Our office — Mayfair Towers, Shivaji NagarWe are a Pune-based supply chain finance advisory — our office is in Mayfair Towers, Shivaji Nagar, in the heart of the Pune-PCMC auto, manufacturing and FMCG belt our anchor clients run. Supply chain finance mobilises capital against the trade flows between an anchor and its MSME vendors and dealers; TReDS is one rail of it — alongside bank and NBFC programmes — never a synonym. India’s MSME credit gap is estimated at ~₹20–25 lakh crore (RBI U.K. Sinha Committee). See the full supply chain finance practice →
Finnova Advisory is an advisory firm — we structure and negotiate programmes and onboard platforms and financiers; the bank, NBFC or TReDS financier sanctions and disburses. We are not affiliated with any single platform.
An SCF & TReDS desk in Pune
Local advisory, anchor-led structuring
Pune and PCMC sit at the centre of India’s auto and ancillary manufacturing economy, with deep FMCG distribution alongside it — exactly the anchor-and-MSME-vendor chains supply chain finance is built for. From our Shivaji Nagar office we design programmes that fund those chains and onboard vendors to TReDS, choosing the right rail for each anchor. It links up to our full supply chain finance practice.
TReDS onboarding, done right
If your turnover crosses ₹250 crore you must onboard by 31 March 2025. We choose across the four RBI-licensed platforms, register you and onboard your vendor base — platform-agnostic, never one panel.
Rail-agnostic, on your side
We structure the right mix of bank-led, NBFC-Factor and TReDS finance on the merits — getting financiers to compete for your vendors’ invoices rather than selling you a single line.
Bank vs NBFC vs TReDS
The three SCF rails, side by side
Supply chain finance runs on three rails — a bank-led programme, an NBFC-Factor line, or TReDS auction financing. They differ on who funds it, how the rate is set and the recourse position. Here’s the comparison that matters to a Pune anchor and its MSME vendors. All pricing is indicative and discovered per case.

Indicative and directional — actual pricing, advance rate and recourse depend on the financier, the anchor’s rating and the structure. Rates on TReDS are auction-discovered; bank and NBFC rates are negotiated per case. We benchmark the live picture for your programme. Compare in depth at TReDS vs bank vs NBFC supply chain finance.
How Finnova helps
From mapping the chain to a live programme — run from Pune
We read your supply chain the way a banker and a CFO both would — map the anchor-vendor-dealer flows, choose the rail mix, and onboard the ecosystem so the programme actually scales. A senior, CA- and ex-banker-led desk in Shivaji Nagar on every file.
-
Map the chain & the mandate
1 weekWe map your anchor-vendor-dealer flows, payable terms and MSME exposure, and check whether the ₹250 crore TReDS mandate (turnover >₹250 Cr or CPSE) applies to you.
-
Design the rail mix
1–2 weeksWe structure the right blend of reverse factoring, vendor and channel finance across bank, NBFC-Factor and TReDS — and assess the Ind AS 109 accounting treatment, which is conditional, not automatic.
-
Onboard platforms & financiers
2–4 weeksWe register you on the chosen TReDS platform(s), link banks and NBFCs as financiers, and onboard your MSME vendors and dealers with digital KYC — the step that decides whether it scales.
-
Run, benchmark & stay compliant
ongoingWe benchmark the auction rate, keep your 45-day and Section 43B(h) compliance clean, and refine the programme as your vendor base grows.

FAQ
Supply chain finance in Pune, answered
Yes. Finnova Advisory is headquartered in Shivaji Nagar, Pune, and designs anchor-led supply chain finance programmes for corporates across Pune, PCMC and the wider Maharashtra auto, manufacturing and FMCG belt. We are rail- and platform-agnostic: we structure the right mix of bank-led programmes, NBFC-Factor lines and TReDS, and onboard your MSME vendors and dealers. TReDS is one rail of supply chain finance, not a synonym for it.
Yes. The MSME Ministry notification S.O. 4845(E) dated 7 November 2024 lowered the TReDS onboarding threshold from ₹500 crore to ₹250 crore of turnover and brought all Central Public Sector Enterprises into scope, with a deadline of 31 March 2025. There are four RBI-licensed platforms — RXIL, M1xchange, Invoicemart and C2treds (KredX/DTX is the emerging fifth). As your Pune desk we choose the platform(s), register you and onboard your vendors.
Pricing is indicative and discovered per case, never a promised rate. On TReDS the discount rate is set by competitive auction — broadly ~6.5–9% per annum for a well-rated anchor; bank-led programmes run ~7.5–9.5%, and NBFC-Factor lines ~9–12%, with advance rates commonly ~80–100% of invoice value. A stronger anchor rating pulls a sharper rate, which is why we pair this with credit-rating advisory.
Reverse factoring (payables finance) is buyer-initiated: your MSME vendors draw early payment at your credit rating while you keep your payable terms. Vendor and dealer/channel finance fund the upstream and downstream legs of the same chain. Whether reverse factoring sits off your balance sheet is conditional under Ind AS 109 — it is never automatic, and we assess the accounting treatment with you, not assume it.
TReDS lets you pay registered micro and small suppliers within the 45-day limit while a financier funds the early payment, so you keep your own payable terms. Section 43B(h) — effective from AY 2024-25 — disallows the income-tax deduction on amounts owed to micro and small enterprises until actually paid within that window, so TReDS turns a compliance obligation into a working-capital tool. On TReDS the financing is without recourse to the MSME seller.
