The conference highlighted key indicators which will help in the growth of SME sector like policy changes that can help underwrite finance for industry segments that are not completely organized. How factors like data around Inventory management, analysis on spends happening on a merchant’s outlet etc. can be additional tools that can be used to underwrite finance in addition to the traditional methods of bank statements, collaterals etc. The need for resolute adoption of technology and digital mediums to help smoothen the process of financing for MSME’s were a highlight of the conference.
