Ask before you sign

  1. Speak to at least 3 franchisees who have run an outlet for 2+ years and see their actual monthly sales and profit — a franchisor making money doesn't mean its franchisees do.
  2. Ask for every upfront payment in writing — deposit, onboarding, equipment or stock — and which parts are refundable.
  3. Ask exactly how your margin or commission is calculated, when it's paid, and whether the brand can change it.

About the Brand

Brand USP

A Mumbai loan distributor (since 1991) that signs up independent advisers as commission-only loan-referral agents (DSA partners), with no joining fee — a referral tie-up, not a franchise.

HeadquartersSantacruz (E), Mumbai
Andromeda (andromedaloans.com) is a Mumbai-based loan distributor: it sources home loans, loans against property, business and personal loans for banks and NBFCs and is paid by the lender. It started in 1991 as a direct sales agent for Citibank under V. Swaminathan. It told PTI in Apr 2025 that loans worth ₹1.08 L Cr were disbursed through it in FY25, with 470 branches and over 25,000 partners; its site now claims 500+ branches, 1,500+ cities and 5,000+ employees, while its contact page lists 15 branch addresses in 11 cities. Filings show the operating company, Andromeda Sales and Distribution Pvt Ltd, at ₹1,729 Cr revenue and ₹47 Cr profit in FY25. This is a loan-referral agent scheme, not a franchise: there is no outlet, territory or brand licence. Andromeda signs up independent advisers, tax practitioners and others with clients as DSA partners (sub-agents): no fee or investment, you refer borrowers and handle their paperwork, and you are paid a commission per disbursed loan. Its sample payouts work out to about 1–2% of the loan amount (₹20,000–40,000 on a ₹20 L home loan), varying by lender, product and volume. Applicants must be Indian citizens over 18 with an existing client base and submit KYC, Form 16 or ITR and three months of bank statements. Andromeda does not publish a partner agreement, payout schedule or typical partner income. What to watch: the income depends entirely on your own leads and on Andromeda paying out on time. On a consumer-complaints site Andromeda scores 2.8/5 from 32 complaints, several from DSA connectors alleging unpaid payouts for disbursed loans (most recent Jul 2025); in Jul 2026 a Bengaluru court dismissed an agent's ₹1.8 L suit for a 1.5% payout because he had no written agreement or payout letter to prove it — so get the payout terms in writing. Employees rate it 3.2/5 on AmbitionBox. Its own figures conflict (its About page says both ₹1.08 L Cr and ₹1.40 L Cr of loans a year; 180+ or 200+ lenders claimed, 146 partners listed). The company's profit says nothing about a partner's earnings — ask existing partners what they are actually paid and how fast.

Why invest in Andromeda Loans?

- This is a loan-referral (DSA agent) scheme, not a franchise: Andromeda says joining costs nothing, and its sample payouts work out to about 1–2% of the loan amount. - Its lending-partners page lists 146 partners, almost all banks and NBFCs (our count, Oct 2026). - Andromeda Sales and Distribution Pvt Ltd reported ₹1,729 Cr revenue and ₹47 Cr profit in FY25 — company figures, not what a partner earns.
