Jana Mobile App is relevant only for Individual Savings Account and Current Account
proprietorship for Jana Small Finance Bank customers.
Getting loans to such people in a viable manner “is a very people-intensive business and the
physical contact with people is very important,” says Radhakrishnan. Janalakshmi employs about
10,000 field staff who get to know the borrowers and offers loans.
The problem isn’t demand: The challenge is running a sustainable business collecting Rs 1,000
every month from millions of borrowers even as it adds between 300,000 and 400,000 new
borrowers every month. This is where technology plays a strong role in ensuring viability by
keeping costs low.
Unitus Capital’s Savage says: “They have consistently been growing at over 100 percent per
annum. This naturally creates many sticky wickets, including human resources, maintaining
credit discipline and sustaining culture. It will take continued vigilance to ensure this remains the
case.”
In the long run, Janalakshmi will continue to bring financial inclusion, but also look at ‘financial
adjacencies’. For instance it could look at low-cost housing or public toilets but not large projects
like metro rail, which will remain the domain of big banks. Says Radhakrishnan: “Over a period
of time, microfinance, the way we do it today, will become less and lending to enterprises,
affordable homes and public finance verticals will increase. Then it will be a more distributed
business.”
