What does it take for an MFI to adopt fast-paced digitisation for improved OPEX and customer experience? Partnering with #fintech startups is key! IIMA Ventures & MicroSave Consulting (MSC) hosted a half-day roundtable with Sa-Dhan Association members from #Kolkata. Our Financial Inclusion Lab fintech startups have showcased innovative solutions to enhance MFI's services. The partnership between MicroFinance institutions and fintech startups offers a promising path for innovation and growth in financial services. While opportunities abound to enhance efficiency, expand reach, and improve customer experiences, MFIs must navigate integration, regulation, and cybersecurity challenges to fully leverage fintech benefits. The session concluded with MFIs appreciating these transformative fintech solutions.

There are a number of 'systems' that founders always build from scratch as they grow. Little do they know - these systems already exist, and learning about & adopting these proactively clears a lot of the founders' bandwidth. Instating them early makes way for fewer breakages & friction in the team, and allows for robust people & culture systems that ensure everyone works towards the goals and vision set by founders. Hear insights on this from Mukul Chhabra, Founder at ScrapUncle , a #SharkTankIndia featured circularity startup, with a combination of white & blue-collar workforce, growing rapidly. Limited seats were available in this year's People & Culture Accelerator, and they are almost over. Register now in this one of its kind accelerator.
