“I had learned that when you hire someone you need to look for intellect, curiosity and integrity. Anup possess all the three in abundance. I hired from Campus in 2008 and had the privilege of managing him for the next 2.5 years…what a privilege it was. As much as he learned from me (I hope he did), I had the opportunity to learn from him. During the time I managed Anup his intellectual hunger, initiative, perseverance and sincerity were something worth emulating. What impressed me the most was his willingness to accept feedback and then work on it.He pulled together a remarkable portfolio of work over the 2.5 years he was in the team. Anup would be an asset to any organization he works for. He is someone who possess abundance of potential and I sincerely hope he is able to realize all of it during his professional career.”

Shachindra Nath’s non-banking financial company U GRO Capital has defied all typical growth norms. So has the founder, navigating an oft-contentious niche loan segment. However, NBFCs account for 30% of the total bank credit in India and play a critical role in credit intermediation and outreach👇 Set up in 2018 through the acquisition, recapitalisation and rebranding of the listed entity Chokhani Securities, U GRO took an unconventional route. Profitable from Day 1, it has designed and implemented a proprietary tech stack for loan underwriting and held its ground against formidable competitors. The NBFC’s profit after tax (PAT) soared to INR 119 Cr in FY24, a nearly 200% increase from INR 40 Cr in the previous financial year. 📎 To read in-depth article, click here👇 #NBFC #startups #profits #growth

Off-balance sheet co-lending is becoming a game changer for fintechs looking to scale rapidly and sustainably. By leveraging platforms like Yubi Co.Lend, fintechs such as WeRize can access larger pools of credit without burdening their balance sheets, allowing them to grow faster and reach new segments like the "missing middle" in India. It’s a smarter way to drive profitability while expanding financial inclusion. Proud to see how our partnership with WeRize is making a real impact. #OffBalanceSheet #CoLending #Fintech #FinancialInclusion

Why banks are offering higher deposit rates despite no fund crunch The hike in deposit rates appears counter-intuitive, especially as market stakeholders anticipate a cut in interest rates by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) by the third quarter of the current fiscal year. #BankingInsights #DepositRates #FinancialTrends #InterestRates #RBIPolicy #EconomicAnalysis #BankingSector #FinancialStrategy #MarketTrends #InvestmentNews #FinanceUpdates #BankingNews https://lnkd.in/gHD5aF2R
