Technology bridges Partners and Rural

The BFSI sector is rapidly shifting toward more personalized and digitalfirst financial services. What specific advancements or strategic changes does your organization plan to implement by 2025 to meet evolving market expectations? Are there particular markets where you aim to expand your presence or market share?

The BFSI sector's move toward digitalfirst and personalized financial services perfectly aligns with Spice Money's mission as a rural-first product designed to empower underserved communities. While leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as AI, analytics, and voice capabilities, we remain committed to creating on-ground solutions that cater to last-mile customers, ensuring financial services are truly accessible across Bharat.

By 2025, Spice Money is expanding its tech-driven infrastructure to support seamless and secure financial transactions for rural populations. Key initiatives include growing UPI adoption and enabling faster, more secure transactions via mobile platforms. Additionally, tailored tools for Adhikaris are being enhanced, ensuring they can provide personalized support to their local communities.

Spice Money's focus goes beyond technology; it is about bridging the digital divide and addressing the unique needs of rural India. Through partnerships with local institutions and a deep understanding of grassroots challenges, we aim to drive financial inclusion while empowering Adhikaris as catalysts of change, ensuring the last-mile customer is at the heart of every innovation.

As you set financial goals for 2025, could you share specific targets, such as revenue growth, customer acquisition metrics, or cost efficiency ratios? How do you plan to leverage key market segments - like real estate, SMEs, or agriculturists to reach these milestones?

For 2025, Spice Money is focused on achieving transformative goals to deepen our impact and reach in rural India.

Aaya hoon toh kuch leke jaunga

Two things unlearned in 2024: Unlearning can be one of the most challenging aspects of life because what we've learned often stays with us. (i) However, one of the most important things I've unlearned is taking my health for granted. After facing significant health challenges, I've made a conscious effort to prioritize my well-being and gradually detoxify my lifestyle. (ii) Another key realization for me has been that there’s no age limit to learning. When I took on the role of CEO at ITI Mutual Fund, I had to step into a new world filled with fresh responsibilities and learning opportunities. As the saying goes, 'with great power comes great responsibility,' and I believe that to lead effectively, one must be committed to continuous learning and personal growth.
