Svasti's Fintech Solutions for Traditional Business Challenges.
The challenge for most financial services providers is that there is very little information available on customers' income, savings, credit, and spending patterns, and most of the low-income customers, especially women, are not digitally savvy app users.
"We have addressed the traditional challenges of the microfinance business by reimagining it with a unique amalgamation of well-designed processes and smart automation, using customised technology along with artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Svasti’s proprietary technology platform enhances our operational efficiency and risk management, while giving us invaluable insights into an undocumented and invisible customer segment.”

THE TRADITIONAL CHALLENGES IN MICROFINANCE
(That Svasti’s Fintech is Designed to Overcome)
How do you know enough to ensure all risks are managed and controlled in a company that has 500 CRMs, and 2,00,000 customers, and whose numbers will continue to grow?
How do you optimise the efficiency of employee time and costs, as well as the accuracy of data that is collected, in an industry that’s based on unscripted human interactions?
How do you analyse and plan for a customer segment whose income, expenses, savings, assets, and aspirations, are largely undocumented?
