The report comes at a time when the fintech lending ecosystem in India is facing increased scrutiny and regulatory changes from the Reserve Bank of India. These include the central bank’s directives requiring lending institutions to increase their risk weightage or allocate more capital for unsecured loans they disburse, which could potentially impact the emerging fintech lending sector in the country.
However, the report highlighted that 28 companies, representing almost 85 percent of the disbursement value, reported assets under management (AUM) of Rs 40,962 crore as of December 2023. The data also revealed positive financial trends, with more than three-fourths of the 21 fintech members reporting profitability, compared to less than two-third in FY22-23.
The report noted that women accounted for 12% of the total loans disbursed between April and December 2023, with six companies reporting women’s participation exceeding 20%. Additionally, women constituted a third of the workforce. However, the data indicated a lower participation of women in leadership roles, with only half of the companies having a woman on the board.
