Guiding Vision, Leadership, Excellence Embodied.
Mr. Mayank Poddar, the Group’s founder, initially focused his endeavors on hire purchase/lease-financing and real estate development. With time, the Group evolved into a diversified conglomerate, encompassing various industry verticals such as automobile dealership, property management, hospitality, and healthcare sectors. We remain consistently open to exploring novel markets and ventures. It is worth noting that the name ‘Celica’ finds its origins in the Latin word ‘celestial’ which means intriguingly. In line with its etymology, our business strategy has consistently been marked by a strong dedication to achieving outstanding results through our products and services.
- Our Legacy
The Celica Group was pivotal in promoting Magma Fincorp, a well-established player in the BFSI sector, encompassing asset finance, affordable home finance, and general insurance services (through a joint venture). Magma, with a widespread presence across India and 325 branches, emerged as a thriving NBFC that diligently served the semi-urban and rural regions of the country with a sincere vision and resolute determination. At its zenith, Magma extended its services to over four million customers, maintained a workforce of over 10,000 employees, and efficiently managed assets under management (AUM) totaling ₹ 20,000 Crores. In 2021, the majority ownership of Magma was cquired by the Poonawalla Group, a strategic move that unlocked significant value for all stakeholders involved.
