This presentation highlights how Poonawalla Fincorp is transforming India's lending landscape by integrating artificial intelligence with human expertise. Traditional underwriting methods, plagued by delays and inefficiencies, are being replaced with AI-powered credit analysis developed in partnership with IIT Bombay. By leveraging machine learning to assess both traditional and alternative financial data, the company has reduced loan processing times by up to 40%, improving access to credit for individuals and businesses, particularly in the MSME sector. While AI enhances efficiency and accuracy, human oversight remains central to ensure responsible lending. Looking ahead, Poonawalla Fincorp aims to incorporate self-learning capabilities, voice recognition, and natural language processing, paving the way for near-instant approvals while maintaining ethical AI governance. This innovation is not just reshaping loan approvals but is also setting a new benchmark for responsible fintech advancements in India.
