Looking forward to a stimulating discussion today at the Taj in London about the role of technology in fostering growth. There are 65 million SMEs in India today and this number is growing at a CAGR of 20%. 40% of those new companies are new to credit and will need new innovative debt products to help them grow. They will also need a whopping amount of financial education to help them to be included in the formal financial sector. I believe technology is the the key to this and that an ecosystem approach is needed where lenders, technology platforms like CreditEnable and government collaborate to make this a reality. What are your thoughts? Leave your insights in the comment section below to start a dialogue on this. #dreambig #smefinance SME Finance Forum, Managed by the IFC (International Finance Corporation)
