New Zealand’s own Valocity has made global headlines, becoming the first Kiwi company to secure three major India Fintech Forum Awards (IFTA) titles, this time taking out the prestigious International Fintech of the Year 2025.
Selected from a competitive field of more than 2,750 fintech innovators representing 50+ countries, Valocity was recognised for its scale, impact, and transformative technology that is redefining how lenders across India access property data for mortgage lending.
This latest honour builds on Valocity’s earlier IFTA successes, Startup of the Year in 2019 and Scale Up of the Year in 2022, highlighting a sustained track record of innovation, momentum, and value creation across the financial ecosystem.
Transforming India’s lending landscape
Sovan Mandal, Managing Director – India & MENA, said the award reflects both industry confidence and the meaningful change Valocity is driving nationwide.
“This recognition is a powerful validation of our mission,” Mandal said.“ Partnering with over 20 leading Indian lenders, we’re redefining property decision-making through a connected digital ecosystem that delivers speed, accuracy, and transparency. By uniting data and insights in one place, our platform helps lenders make faster, better-informed decisions. This award speaks to the trust of our partners and the impact we’re creating across India’s lending landscape.”
Global recognition and growing momentum
Valocity’s rapid growth continues to gain international attention. Following its win at Cityscape Global in Saudi Arabia in 2024, the company is scaling in fast growing UAE, recognising its leadership in building digital, data-driven solutions powering the future of lending and urban development.
As India accelerates its Digital Public Infrastructure agenda and financial institutions demand smarter, scalable decision-making tools, Valocity’s cloud-based platform offers a modern foundation to grow responsibly, reduce risk, and deliver superior customer experiences.
A proud moment for New Zealand innovation
Carmen Vicelich, Founder and Global CEO of Valocity, said this latest accolade reflects the company’s commitment to modernising lending at scale and cements Valocity’s reputation as a trusted global partner.
“We are incredibly proud to receive this prestigious recognition,” Vicelich said. “It is a tribute to our exceptional teams and clients and to the meaningful impact Valocity is making in digitising the property mortgage process, particularly in India, UAE, Australia and our other growing markets. Being recognised at this level is both humbling and inspiring as we continue our mission to advance lending with smarter data, technology, and collaboration.”
