Surety bonds can increase credit availability, boost trust in commercial transactions, and unleash liquidity by substituting insurance-backed, digital assurances for conventional, collateral-heavy ones.

Aditya Tulsian, CEO and co-founder of AxiTrust, stated, "This is about building a new trust architecture for India's financial system, one that expands opportunities for MSMEs to increase participation across Government and private supply chains."

As the infrastructure enabler of this new assurance economy, AxiTrust facilitates the safe, quick, and large-scale deployment of surety-backed solutions by banks, insurers, and platforms.
