Banking Solutions
Even though the financial sector is shifting from traditional network to connectivity-based applications, a large segment of the population lacks access to everyday banking and finance capabilities. Majority of this under-served population – about 60% – live in rural India and is neglected by banks in spite of latent demand.
Major concerns contributing to this divide:
- High infrastructural cost
- Lack of connectivity
- Uneven distribution of banking services
What India needs at the hour is to reap the benefits of financial inclusion with various industry and government stakeholders and achieve inclusive development and growth.
