Lending & Credit

Underwrite Smarter, Disburse Faster Than Ever

Digital lending in India is projected to hit $515 billion by 2030. But most lenders still rely on manual credit assessment, paper-based verification, and collection teams that call from spreadsheets. Our platform automates the entire lending lifecycle — from lead capture to recovery.

Industry Challenges

Lending Bottlenecks That Kill Growth

Every manual step in your lending pipeline is a customer you might lose to a competitor who disburses in minutes.

📝

Manual Underwriting

Credit analysts manually review bureau reports, bank statements, and ITRs — adding 2-3 days to every application.

🔍

Thin-File Borrowers

Traditional credit scores miss 300M+ Indians with no bureau history. Without alternative data models, you leave money on the table.

📞

Inefficient Collections

Collection agents work from static call lists with no prioritization — burning time on borrowers who would have paid anyway.

🔗

Bureau Integration Woes

Connecting to CIBIL, Experian, CRIF, and Equifax requires separate integrations, each with different APIs and SLAs.

⚖️

DLG & FLDG Complexity

Digital Lending Guidelines and First Loss Default Guarantee regulations add compliance layers that most lending stacks were not designed for.

📊

Portfolio Monitoring Gaps

Monthly MIS reports catch deterioration too late. By the time you see rising DPD buckets, NPAs are already forming.

Digital NBFC

How a Digital NBFC Cut Defaults by 45%

A mid-size NBFC disbursing ₹200 Cr/month in personal and SME loans was seeing a 6.2% default rate — well above the industry benchmark of 3.5%. Manual underwriting could not scale with application volume, and collections were reactive rather than predictive.

The Challenge

The Problem

The NBFC was growing fast but losing control of credit quality:

Manual credit analysts could process only 400 applications per day, creating a 3-day backlog
Bureau-only scoring missed risk signals in bank statements and GST data
Collection calls started only after 30 DPD, by which time recovery probability had already halved
Co-lending partners were flagging data-quality issues in shared portfolio reports

Our Approach: We deployed an AI underwriting engine that blends bureau scores with bank-statement analytics and GST data for richer risk assessment. Auto-decisioning handles 78% of applications without human review. A predictive collections engine starts engagement at 1 DPD with WhatsApp reminders and escalates to agent calls only for high-risk accounts. Co-lending data flows were automated with partner-specific reporting. Full deployment took 9 weeks.
