Yuvraja Singh, co-Founder and Joint Managing Director of DMI Finance commented, “Consumer finance is the obvious next step for DMI given our presence in wholesale lending and housing finance. Digital consumer lending is the frontier of consumer finance in India and we are very excited to be at the forefront of the effort to bring quick and easy personal and consumer loans to a market segment that has been somewhat ignored thus far.”
Shivashish Chatterjee, co-Founder and Joint Managing Director of DMI Finance, said, “Accelerated by Aadhaar, e-sign and the increasing availability of banking services, technology and data is rapidly transforming the financial services landscape in India. Fueled by mobile and broadband penetration, over 400mm technology-savvy but new-to-credit and thin credit file consumers are looking for the credit that they need across personal loans, e-commerce purchases, student loans and healthcare. DMI is committed to being at the forefront of this technology-driven consumer finance transformation.”
