In this exclusive conversation, Foxhog CEO Tarun Poddar sheds light on his bold initiative – “VC for Villages”, an innovative and interest-free debt model designed to empower rural India. For decades, entrepreneurs and farmers in villages have faced limited access to affordable capital. Traditional loans often burden them with high interest rates, creating cycles of debt instead of growth. Through “VC for Villages,” Foxhog is reimagining rural financing by offering structured, interest-free debt solutions that fuel entrepreneurship, strengthen local businesses, and create sustainable livelihoods.
