MUMBAI, India, March 15, 2023 According to the IMF, global GDP will decelerate to 2.9% in 2023, down from 3.4% in 2022. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects India to grow at a rate of 6.0-6.5%, down from a predicted rate of 7%.

It is understandable that recession can be a worrying time for both consumers and business. “Our company is expanding rapidly. We are growing in numbers. While we recruited more than 3,500 during the third quarter, largely for cross-selling and upselling of products, we intend to hire another 1,000 in the current quarter with regards to the recent merger,” states S Sunder, Joint Managing Director of Shriram Finance.

Financial Inclusion of SMEs

According to Mr. Umesh Govind Revankar, Executive Vice Chairman of Shriram Finance, Micro, Small and Medium-Sized enterprises account for 29% of the nation’s GDP, 49% of exports, and more than 63 million businesses nationwide, but this sector still faces a significant funding shortfall.

The company offers a range of loan products to help SMEs grow and succeed. The products include working capital loans, term loans and business loans.

According to YS Chakravarti, the Managing Director and CEO, Shriram Finance anticipates increasing the proportion of non-motor vehicle loans in its portfolio to 40% over the next 3 years, which will cause the percentage of car loans to shrink to 60%. “At the moment, our MSME loan book is worth ₹17,000 crores, 90% of which are dedicated to trading and services. As we have some experience in this field, we intend to focus mostly on it. We also intend to offer gold loans at all of our branches, with the goal of eventually increasing the share of our loan book from 10% to 12%, says Mr. Chakravarti.
