Summary
In spite of a 40% fall in funding and a 13.5% drop in deal count YoY in 2022, the fintech sector in India is poised to grow due to the rapid adoption of digital technologies, ease of doing business and the presence of innovative startups, supported by favourable government policies.
Within the Indian fintech space, B2B lending is gaining momentum, with a 67% funding CAGR from 2019 to 2022. Currently, there are 60+ active startups in this sub-sector, accounting for 39.4% of the total funding raised by the fintech sector during 2014-2022.
Even with a sturdy track record and positive estimates on the cards, the fintech sector, on the whole, is facing many challenges. These include a lack of awareness and financial inclusivity, dwindling consumer trust, scaling hurdles, the rising cost of customer acquisition and finding/retaining talent for seamless operations and continued innovation.
However, startups and the Indian government are coming up with dynamic solutions to cope with these issues and ensure the growth and success of the fintech industry across the country.
