The financial shocks from Covid-19 are still rippling through the global economy and inducing intense stress on the re-payment capabilities of borrowers.
While the microfinance loan portfolio grew by 17% in FY21, the increasing count of re-payment delinquencies has severely affected the collection efficiency of microfinance businesses. To offset these challenges, the micro-credit industry needs a reliable, agile, and digital lending and collections framework.

- How to create an agile operational credit framework which is ready for external shocks ?
- How can new-age collection systems improve the health of your loan book?
