Fintech lending 2.0 shifts focus from blitz scale to depth and discipline

India’s fintech lending sector is entering its second act—and it looks markedly different from the first, top industry executives told Mint. Speaking at a panel discussion on digital lending’s next chapter at Mint’s annual BFSI Summit on Friday, fintech founders said the sector is moving away from blitz-scale expansion toward stronger liability management, unit economics and deeper monetization of existing customers. “I don’t think fintech 2.0 is about scale anymore,” said Sandeep Singh, chief executive of Trillionloans, a subsidiary of BharatPe.

Key Highlights

  • “It’s more about liability management and depth of customer monetisation.” That shift follows a turbulent first decade for digital lending.
  • “The entire fintech lending is a decade-long story,” said Madhusudhan Ekambaram, chief executive and co-founder of KreditBee.
  • “When we started, it was an unregulated world.
  • In March 2020, more than 2,400 companies were lending.” Regulatory scrutiny quickly changed that.
  • “Six months later, that number came down to 85 after the first set of regulations came in,” he added.
