The company has evolved over the past years and diversified its services primarily to empower the mass community and enrich their lives further. 
Commencing its services as a micro finance company providing finances to the micro sector Sarvodaya Development Finance has now ventured into the SME finance, vehicle leasing and personal loans services in order to cater to a larger target market with diverse needs.
