IDEA COINED AND CHANGES IN THE INDUSTRY

Rupee Catalyst was started in October 2017, post the fall out of a few large NBFCs. There has been major liquidity stress in the untapped market which had a substantial contribution in lending to mid-segment in both rural and urban markets. The NBFC's are like a shadow bank which lends to those clients who probably are not the bank's target audience. Last one year has changed the entire credit cycle thereby increasing the bad assets in the lender's book.

COPING UP WITH THE CHALLENGES

Rupee Catalyst was started with a clear mandate to improvise their services which are backed by technology and works on a real-time basis. They faced various challenges in the initial stage of the launch, the biggest one was to match the customer's need versus the Institutional fulfilment during the slowdown in the banking sector which led to serious liquidity crisis across the sectors and industries coupled with critical economic reforms like Demonetization, GST and RERA. Their biggest challenge was to transform from the manual to the tech-based interface during this era.

ADVANCEMENT OF TECHNOLOGY IN FINANCIAL SECTOR

The technology revolution is bringing a massive change in organisational growth. The organisations are moving from their legacy operating systems to the latest cloud technology, which is more secure and cost-effective. More than having a tech-based platform it is important to upgrade the technology considering the market trends and consumer expectations.

  3. Brand Acceptance

They are a digitally advanced company as their Hi-tech systems are capable of engaging the client without human intervention. This cutting-edge technology keeps them ahead of curve and also helps them service the client faster through a very standard Robotic Process Automation.

ROLE OF GOVERNMENT AND EFFECTS OF BUDGET 2020

Rupee Catalyst is a start-up India approved company participating in various programs which are organised by DIPP. Considering the fact that this Government has a very strong mandate to implement economic reforms and upscale the nation to a 5 trillion economy by 2024. Well, they do have a lot of expectations from the Government to make the credit more accessible for the medium business class. This will boost consumption thereby reducing the inventory pressure on the manufacture.  

Before the budget 2020, there have been significant steps taken by the government to resolve various issues pertaining to drop in consumer demand and also enhancing credit facilities to MSMEs.
