We all have that one friendly neighborhood barber (at least\u00a0men do!), the guy who doubles up as your psychiatrist. To whom you blabber everything without caring much about privacy. The corner barbershop is nothing short of an offline Facebook, where regulars come to read the newspaper;\u00a0complain about Indian politics, criticize every poor performance of Kohli (which is a rarity!) or gossip about the latest item number.<\/p>\n

Meet Mr. Suresh Lanjewar, who owns, one such barbershop in the outskirts of Nagpur. We met him while he was busy giving one of those old-fashioned clean shaves from a straight razor! We almost ended up romanticizing the whole experience of an Indian roadside barbershop – the place where you just drop by to comb your hair and end up watching an entire episode of Crime Patrol!<\/p>\n

When\u00a0one of our talkative sales guys met Sureshji, he was not in his usual jovial mood. He looked disturbed and on probing further we found out he has been living in a Kaccha house since 2009 and was facing a lot\u00a0of problems due to heavy monsoons. \u201cThe roof had leaked due to constant rains. There\u2019s no place for my wife and kids to sleep. The house is flooded\u201d<\/em> Mr. Lanjewar recalled a ghost from the recent past.<\/p>\n

He needed funds to renovate his home and was looking for a Home Construction Loan<\/strong><\/a>. Being self-employed and with very little proof of documented income, it had become a nightmare for him! He had the ability to pay in EMIs but none of the bigger financial institutions believed in his creditworthiness…<\/p>\n

But thankfully our guy was listening!<\/p>\n

We at HomeFirst extended a home construction loan<\/a><\/strong> to him within 48 hours and the family also received a subsidy of Rs. 2,67,280 on their home loan under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana.\u00a0\u201cOur EMI reduced from Rs. 8500 to Rs. 5000 approx. The reduction in EMI for our home loan has made us feel very good.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0said Mr. Lanjewar with a smiling face.<\/p>\n
