The Brunch Lab With Bertelsmann

Society & Culture


For millions of Indians, the biggest hurdle to homeownership isn't finding a home—it's accessing the right home loan.


That's the problem Atul Monga, Co-Founder & CEO of BASIC Home Loan, set out to solve. By combining technology with a network of on-ground experts, BASIC Home Loan is making housing finance more accessible beyond India's largest cities.


In this episode of The Brunch Lab by Bertelsmann India Investments, Pankaj Makkar and Rohit Sood sit down with Atul Monga to discuss building a phygital home loan platform that blends technology with on-ground expertise, making housing finance more accessible for families across India. Together, they unpack the challenges of building trust, scaling across markets, and reimagining one of India's most important financial journeys.


At Bertelsmann India Investments, we believe the strongest companies are built through long-term partnerships rooted in shared conviction. The Brunch Labs brings those conversations to the table - exploring the ideas, decisions and relationships behind founders building category-defining businesses.
