Maharashtra’s Kopargaon-based Samata Cooperative Credit Society has carved a niche for itself in the cooperative credit sector by transforming its gold loan portfolio into a model of technology-driven efficiency through Sudhan Gold Loan Solutions, earning accolades from leaders of the cooperative sector.
Addressing the Society’s Annual Staff Review Meet, ‘Navparv 2025-26’, CA Milind Kale, Vice President of the National Federation of Urban Cooperative Banks and Credit Societies (NFUCBS), hailed Samata’s outstanding achievements in the gold loan business, calling it “one of the safest and most reliable lending segments.” He said the society has set a new benchmark by leveraging advanced technology to deliver faster, seamless, and member-centric services.
Kale commended Sudhan Gold Managing Director Sandeep Koyate for spearheading innovative digital initiatives that have strengthened gold loan operations and enhanced customer experience. “Samata is not just an institution but a family, and its employees are its greatest strength,” he remarked.
Chairman Omprakash Dadappa (Kaka) Koyate said the society’s four-decade journey from a small rural cooperative to a modern financial institution reflects its commitment to innovation. Today, Samata offers mobile banking, paperless and voucherless transactions, self-banking facilities, and technology-enabled customer services.
The event also honoured top-performing branches and employees for excellence in deposit mobilisation, gold loan business, and overall performance, with Yeola, Pune, Shirdi, and Sangamner emerging among the best performers, reinforcing Samata’s position as a fast-growing cooperative credit society.
