About Retail Finance :

They have set up a consumer and small business lending business, to go with their existing presence in the wholesale lending space. Their intent is to build this out into a multi product lending business, with tech at its core. Over the last few years, the tech landscape in India has changed dramatically, and there are things that are possible today that were not possible even five years ago. That enables us to build a business that is fundamentally different from what one would have built in years past. It is in that context that we are looking for top talent to form our initial leadership team which will bring alive the aspirations.
