V.Aana Urban Nidhi Limited

We are tucked away in the Somalwada area of Nagpur, specifically in the Narendra Nagar part of town. Our office is at Dinprajahi Society, House Number 12, which belongs to Shri J Shamrao Patil. It’s a residential neighborhood, so it doesn't feel like a cold business district. V.Aana Urban Nidhi was started to give the people around here a simple place to manage their savings. Being in a housing society means we see our neighbors every day. It’s very informal. You walk through the gate, and we are right there. We don't have a big sign or a fancy lobby. Just a room where we keep our registers and a computer for the records. People from Somalwada and Narendra Nagar find it convenient to just walk over after work or in the morning. We deal with small savings and help members with their financial needs without making them fill out twenty different forms. It’s a lot of face-to-face talking. Sometimes we spend more time chatting about the local news than actually doing the banking part. That’s the benefit of being a local Nidhi company. We understand the people who live on these streets because we live here too. It’s a practical setup that works for us and the people who have joined the society. We usually close up once the sun goes down and the society gets quiet. It’s a good way to stay connected with everyone and handle the small stuff.
