Summary

As the Indian economy evolved from agrarian to a manufacturing and services-led economy, the lending ecosystem also changed from the formal sector to informal and unorganised lenders. While India’s banking system has sought to organise the age-old unorganised lending market through innovation and structure, instead of being the disruptor, traditional banks have been disrupted by technology startups. With demand for credit-based purchases in India growing in the past decade, lending tech startups are cashing in on the supply gap and serving the underserved through alternate data-based lending. The venture capital inflow in consumer lending tech startups has increased over five folds over the past four years, from $17 Mn (2014) to $81 Mn (Q3 2020). With over 120 Mn formally employed Indians without a credit card, the business opportunities for technology enabled consumer lending products remains high.
