Indian NBFC Market Context


The contribution of NBFCs to the economy have grown from 8.4% in 2006 to 14% in
March, 2015.
In terms of financial assets, NBFCs have seen a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 19% over the past few yearscomprising 13% of the total credit and expected to reach
nearly 18% by 201819.
With the growing amount of bad debt in the public sector banks, their appetite to lend
(especially in rural areas), is going to deteriorate further, which in turn, provides an
opportunity for NBFCs to expand.
The success of NBFCs is because of their better product lines, lower cost, wider and
effective reach, strong risk management capabilities to check and control bad
debts, and better understanding of their customer segments.
NBFCs have emerged as the largest net receiver of funds from the rest of the financial
system.
According to the Financial Stability Report, 2015, scheduled commercial banks
(SCBs)
have
the highest exposure to NBFCs at 1,927 billion INR, followed by asset

There is a huge latent credit demand in Indian economy.


Adding to that, there is a huge self-employed population that is not served by banks, due to

Therefore, they would not be in a state of lending in the medium term till their situation

Regulatory Issues
NBFCs cannot offer interest rates higher than the ceiling rate prescribed by RBI from time to time. The present ceiling is
11%.
The NBFCs are allowed to accept public deposits for a minimum period of 12 months and maximum period of 60 months.

Lack of Data Integrity


The deposits with NBFCs are not insured; The repayment of deposits by NBFCs is not guaranteed by RBI
NBFCs having assets size of Rs. 500 cr. and above but not accepting public deposits are required to submit Quarterly

SMSs can also be sent informing about the newer product categories that have been

Mobile Channel:
Pull Strategy:
Customers can give missed call to a toll-free number in order to register their complaints (if
any). The MMFSL officials would then revert back to them so as to know in detail about the
issue that they are facing and at the same time, they can suggest suitable solutions to them.
Customers can also send answers to some questions asked by the company, in the form of a
winning contest. The cost per SMS sent by the customer in India has been tabulated below

COST ANALYSIS
Through dealers, also reminders can be
sent for timely repayment of loans. But
that would be more time consuming.
Therefore, usage of mobile channels would
be more time saving and cost effective
medium, as compared to dealers.

No Language Barrier:
The mobile app designed for use by customers, in order to get a feel of the latest products,
services and schemes of MMFSL, can be made available in Odia.
This would help eliminate the existing language barrier and would definitely help in improving
convenience of access by the customers.
As a result, they would eventually take more interest in gathering knowledge about MMFSLs
products and services, as compared to their competitors products and services.

They can have mobile van campaigns, in which they can display their equipment and
hence convert the potential customers in leads. This would eventually help in increasing
customer reach as well as profitability.
Melas:
Similar in concept with Driver Melas, the tractor manufacturing division along with the
farm equipment manufacturing division can conduct Melas at specific regions all over
Odisha, every quarter, so as to be able to offer quick service at lower cost.
Customers who avail this loyalty programme of Mahindra would be entitled to goodies and
freebies like, dashboard mementos, room fresheners, branded bottles and T-shirts.
This would help in a way that there are high chances that theyll mention about the same to
people they know and therefore, through Word of Mouth Communication, the message can be
spread further.

Social Media Marketing


Facebook Remarketing:
User clicks on Facebook ad or boosted post.
User lands on MMFSLs landing page. A tracking cookie is implanted on
the browser.
Users usually bounce off the landing page or forget about the ad.
The tracking cookie ensures that the same ad is posted again and again
on any website the user visits.
This will definitely help in capturing the attention of the consumers and
will increase chances of converting them to regular customers.
Facebook Website Custom Audience:
Target Segment/ Focus Audience: Existing Customer Base. The idea
is to create Whatsapp groups of the existing customer base, which can
serve as a common platform for discussion between them (which is
lacking now)
Then, the link of the landing page of MMFSL can be shared in these
Whatsapp groups.
Facebook has come up with the concept of Website Custom
Audiences(WCA).
It helps in targeting ads to the people who have already visited the
website before.
If this WCA feature is enabled in Facebook, then it gives a tracking code
which can be placed in MMFSLs website.
And, each time a person visits the website while being logged in to FB,
this tracking code automatically tags them as their website audience
(without the people having to enter their details like name, e-mail id etc).

Biometrics
Biometrics can be incorporated into citizen identity documents.
Customers can be made to use biometrics while logging in to their accounts.
This will help in cross-verifying the credentials of the person. So, this helps in enhancing
security of a wide range of transaction types by preventing people to present duplicate
identity documents.
Biometrics are the most unique and the most difficult to be decoded. They are not subject to
counterfeiting and forgery, unlike hard bound documents like birth certificates etc.
Biometrics is currently being viewed as the most convenient option because it helps in
overcoming problems associated with illiteracy, language barriers and the lack of

Digitization
The vision statement of Payment and Settlement Systems Vision Document, 2018 is as given
below:
Building best of class payment and settlement systems for a less-cash India through
responsive regulation, robust infrastructure, effective supervision and customer centricity
The estimated annual growth in the value of bank-card payments in emerging markets from
2015 through 2025 is estimated to be almost double the rate in mature markets (11% versus
6%).
India and China are expected to lead the boom with annual growth in noncash payment
values of 17% and 11%, respectively.
Therefore, digitization in the value chain can serve as a potential solution in this type of
scenario, where-in a digital first, digital everywhere mindset, led by senior leadership
and focused on the always-connected consumer is expected to work with tremendous results.
For digitization to take off at an exponential pace, there has to be a successful digital strategy
in place. The ingredients of this strategy could be:
Ultimate focus on digital channels.
Understanding that digitization can both enhance as well as replace delivery models.
Technology focussed on finding, serving and engaging customers.
Improving Customer Experiences.
Partnerships will provide the context or application for frictionless transactions.
Strategy must generate productivity, profitability and efficiency.

Sales
For any business, the sales team is ultimately responsible to draw in more customers.
A large part of new business comes from Direct Selling Agents and at the same time, a
large number of NBFCs are investing in hiring the right kind of sales talent to be able to find
their own customers.
"The NBFC plans to hire young graduates from business schools and reputed colleges to deal
with customers as the firm is focusing on increasing direct acquisition to complement the
business contributed by DSAs", Vimal Bhandari, managing director and chief executive
officer at IndoStar Capital, said.

Sales force automation


A cloud-based field force automation solution can be kept in place. Use of this would help
increase worker productivity to nearly 100% and would also help in eliminating fraud.
It would serve as an end-to-end mobility solution using voice, GPRS and SMS for the sales
and collection processes of the company
For each step in the work-flow, starting from lead capture, follow-up, document collection
to feasibility reporting, the field agent can enter the information in the relevant form on his
basic feature phone.
Each form can be filled either through text inputs or voice inputs, allowing agents to select
their most convenient form of interacting with a mobile.
If the agent chooses the voice input option, the system will engage him in an interactive
dialogue in his native language to complete the desired transaction (this can be useful for
MMFSL since they are employing local people for last mile service delivery)
The agent can also easily transmit statutory customer documentation by merely taking a
picture with his phone. The back-end module immediately collates these text and voice in one
powerful web application, giving business managers unprecedented visibility to field
operations.
Using this application, managers approve service requests in matter of minutes and
communicate these decisions to the field agents, so they not only have visibility into
real time operations, but can confidently analyse their business knowing that the underlying

UPI based Loan Repayment


What is UPI?
UPI is a payment system that
allows money transfer between
any two bank accounts by
using a smartphone.
UPI allows a customer to pay
directly from a bank account to
different merchants, both
online and offline, without the
hassle of typing credit card
details, IFSC code, or net
banking/wallet passwords.

Why not Wallet?


To enjoy the benefits of mobile
banking using bank apps, users
are required to know IFSC code,

For instance, a rating or score can be assigned to the current set of customers, depending
upon their tendency towards going for the companys products and services. The assignment
of scores would mostly vary according to the following parameters i.e., number of repeat
purchases, number of times the customer has defaulted to repay the loan, number of leads
generated by the customer, by serving as opinion leaders etc.
Basing upon this score, the customer who has a higher score shall enjoy the benefits of the
effective pricing mechanism. So, it tends to become a more customer-centric approach,
with primary focus on benefits based on customization.
