Learnings:
The results were as expected. We did fairly well in terms of shareholder value creation. Our loan
book grew significantly. Our AUM was the highest among all. Regulatory capital was more than
expected. The strategy to give cheap loans worked very well

Learnings:
In this round, we went with the same strategy. We decreased our interest rate on loans further due
to which NIM (Net Interest Margin) was further reduced. Our loan book also grew significantly but
since we had a low-interest margin, our profits plummeted significantly.

Learnings:
We continued with the same strategy of selling cheap loans to high-grade corporates because we
wanted to build a strong loan book. We also attracted good deposits because of attractive interest
rates. We were losing shareholder value because of minimal profits but we thought we can cover it
up later.

Learnings:
We learnt that all this time we were catching up with the competition. We had no differentiating
factor and we were not good in any single business line. To attract loans, we shrank NIM which
backfired. Rate cuts which we were doing were not proportional to the volume which we were
expecting. This was the biggest learning

Learnings:
This was the first round when our interest costs outweighed the interest income and hence, we
made losses. Our ROE went negative. But considering that many of our competitors had made
losses, we were relaxed and we decided that we will go all-in in our next round. Our biggest learning
was that this strategy never works. These types of decisions come in desperation and frustration.

Learnings:
In this round, we made our lending terms loose and decided to give loans to C grade corporates. This
was done in not any business sense but to improve our ranks and scores in simulation. As
anticipated, this didn’t work, we made the biggest losses. We ended up last
