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. Thank you to all MFI representatives for a successful and enlightening roundtable! #IIMAVentures #Fintech #FintechLab #FinancialInclusion #Roundtable #Innovation #Startups Priyanka Agarwal Chopra | Vipul Patel | Sandeep Koujalgi | Swarup Pandya | Aakriti Shah Kamdar
