Future Growth Strategies to be Implemented by the Company:
Maintain focus on micro lending while expanding further into other retail and SME Lending:
As India’s largest micro lender in terms of overall advances, Company’s aim is to maintain their leading position in the micro lending space while expanding further into other retail and SME lending in order to capitalise on growth opportunities in India’s micro lending and banking industries.
To Expand Geographical Footprint:
Company’s strategy is to increasingly diversify their geographical footprint. Accordingly, they have increased their footprint to 33 State and Union Territories from 24 State and Union Territories since they began banking operations.
Targeting New Products & Customers:
In addition to expanding their branch network, they also have plans to develop products and services designed for rural and urban mass retail customers, as well as by continuing to actively promote our accounts and deposits, and by offering attractive interest rates.
For example, recently they had launched additional products and services designed for non-resident Indians (“NRIs”) and foreign currency remittances, in order to increase their business with the large Indian diaspora.
Moreover, Company believes that their broad micro banking platform provides them with opportunities to receive deposits from relatively underbanked and unbanked segments of Indian society as they become increasingly affluent over time.
Boost share of Non-Interest Income:
Company intends to complement income from core asset products with non-interest income from other sources in order to diversify their income stream and improve the profit margins.
Additionally, in 2017 they entered into arrangements to begin distributing third-party insurance products and third-party mutual funds, in return for which they receive a commission based upon the value of insurance product or mutual fund sold.
Company will also commence distribution of life insurance products as a corporate agent in December 2017, for which they have received a license from IRDAI.
As they expand their network,they expect to increase the size of their PSL-compliant loan portfolio as well as grow the distribution of third party products, thereby increasing their income stream from both sources.
Company has also commenced inward and outward foreign currency remittances. The service is made available to non-resident Indians (“NRI”) and resident Indian customers within defined regulatory guidelines. These remittance services will provide a further stream of non-interest income.
