“On a gross basis, every month the large telecom companies individually add about 10 million plus customers…So, infrastructure is one big thing that comes to the table and experience of running a large scale operation of that scale.”

“We pioneered and started MNREGA and Social Security Pension payments. One of the most critical factors is understanding consumer. Let’s accept that despite 70 years of freedom, we are still talking about financial inclusion because the banking hasn’t happened the way it should have.”
Priyam Alok, Senior Vice President and Joint Head, Bank Project, AU Financiers India Limited
“Any company becoming a small finance bank in transformation phase faces many challenges. There’s a paradigm shift in technology. While the RBI defined we required a capital of 100 crores to apply for a license, the fact is technology alone takes away that kind of money. That’s a big challenge.”
