Introduction to Industry:

Fintech Industry

BharatPe is a fintech company that operates a QR code-based payment app for


offline retailers and businesses. It allows merchants to accept UPI payments
the BharatPe QR.

Fintech, a portmanteau of "financial technology", refers to firms using new


technology to compete with traditional financial methods in the delivery of
financial services. Artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and
big data are regarded as the "ABCD" of fintech.

The Fintech segment in India has seen an exponential rise in funding over the
last few years; the sector received funding worth ~$9.8 Bn in 2021, led by the
Payments segment (53% share of fintech funding across all fintech verticals in
India.) Equity funding into Indian FinTechs has grown at a CAGR 26% over last
4 years, but more rapidly so from 2020 onwards, fuelled by the post-pandemic
impact of high growth via increased digital services adoption. The Indian Fintech
growth story continues to hold strong, with ~150 deals/quarter
While Payments and Alternative Finance segments constituted more than 90% of
the sector’s investment flows in 2015, there has been a major shift towards a
more equitable distribution of investment across sectors since to include
InsurTechs, WealthTechs, etc.
India has 23 Fintechs which have gained ‘Unicorn Status’. 1/5 Startup Unicorns
are from Fintech

At its core, fintech is utilized to help companies, business owners, and consumers
manage their financial operations, processes, and lives better by utilizing
specialized software and algorithms that are used on computers and, increasingly,
smartphones. The term fintech is a combination of "financial technology"

ORGANISATION STUDY OF BHARATPE

Mc KINSEY’S 7s FRAMEWORK

The Mckinsey 7s framework is a management model development by business


consultants Robert H. Waterman, Jr. and Tom Peters in the 1980s. this was a
strategic vision for groups, to include businesses, business units and teams.
The model is most often used as an organizational analysis tool to assess and
monitor changes in the internal situation of an organization.

The model is based on the theory that, for an organization to perform well,
these seven elements need to be aligned and mutually reinforcing. So, the
model can be used to help identify what needs to be realigned to improve
performance, or to maintain performance during other types of change.

Whatever the type of change may be – restructuring, new processes,


organizational merger, new systems, change of leadership and so on – the
model can be used to understand how the organizational elements are

23
ORGANISATION STUDY OF BHARATPE

interrelated, and so ensure that the wider impact of changes made in one area
is taken into consideration.

The 7S are;

• Structure
• Strategy
• Systems
• Skills
• Styles
• Staff
• Shared values

STRATEGY

BharatPe follows a unique marketing strategy that has helped the company reach
skyrocket. Before the establishment of the company, other UPI payment
platforms focused on consumers and customers. The consumer is the buyer
(generally a youth) and the customer is the QR Code which acts as a support
system. So the platform had to target two different entities and had to provide
cashback to two different entities. Whereas, for BharatPe its customers were its
consumers. Its consumer is the merchant. Thus the company decided to provide
cashback to the merchant himself.

The unique marketing strategy of the company led to two popular campaigns.
They were “Ek Bharat Ek QR” and “Team BharatPe”. BharatPe decided to select
only crickets for its brand ambassadors. The makers of the campaign “Team
BharatPe” realized that the cricket industry has a huge fan following. They have
plans to open up their payment bank for which RBI has already approved the
license.

SYSTEMS

The daily activities and procedures that staff use to get the job done.

Systems according to 7s framework proposed by McKinsey refers to all the rules,


regulations and production, planning and control system, recruiting and training,

24
ORGANISATION STUDY OF BHARATPE

development and performance evaluation. System is the formal and informal


procedures including the innovation systems, compensation systems,
management information systems and capital allocation system that govern
everyday activity.

STRUCTURE

A structure is an arrangement and organization of interrelated elements in a


material object or system, or the object or system so organized. The Organization
structure describes the hierarchy of authority and accountability in an
organization. These relationship are frequently diagrammed into organizational
charts. The four main corporate structures are Functional, Divisional,
Geographic, and the Matrix. Many corporations have a “hybrid” structure, which
is a combination of different models with one dominant strategy. Most
organizations use some mix of structures such as pyramid, matrix or networked
ones to accomplish their goals.

The organization structure hierarchy flows through

PORTER’S FIVE FORCE MODEL

The originator of the 5 Forces Model is Michael Porter, a Harvard Business


School (HBS) professor whose theories remain instrumental to business strategy
even today.
Porter’s 5 forces model framework is utilized for strategic industry analysis, and
focuses on the following:

1. Barriers to Entry – The difficulty in partaking in the industry as a seller.


2. Buyer Power – The leverage held by buyers in being able to negotiate lower
prices.
3. Supplier Power – The ability of a company’s suppliers to increase the prices
of its inputs (e.g. raw materials for inventory).
4. Threat of Substitutes – The ease at which a certain product/service can be
replaced, typically with a cheaper variation.

27
ORGANISATION STUDY OF BHARATPE

5. Competitive Rivalry – The intensity of the competition within the industry –


i.e. number of participants and the types of each.
Competitive industry structures can be analyzed utilizing Porter’s five forces
model, as each factor influences the profit potential within the industry.

Moreover, for companies that are considering whether to enter a particular


industry, a five forces analysis can help determine whether the profit opportunity
exists.

Rivalry among competitors


Rivalry that a firm faces form the competitors in its industry is an important
aspect for the success of a firm. Competing firms in most industries are mutually
dependent. A competitive move by one firm has a noticeable impact on its
competing firms. In an industry with intense rivalry among competing firms,
rivals utilize various strategies to boost their profit and thus hampering the
profitability of others.
Most firms are large and they will not make unnoticed moves. There are few with
market share meaning competitors will take action to become market leader. The
fintech industry is growing annually and is predicted to do so for years to come.
Positive industry growth is when competition is less likely to try capture market
share from each other. Fixed costs are high within this industry making rival
companies to push to full profit and productivity.

Potential new entrants


The economies of scale is hard to gain in the fintech industry which makes it
easier for those producing largely to have cost advantage. Subsequently making
production dearer for new entrants. Capital and revenue within this industry are
high which makes it tough for potential competitors to set up. Spending is also
overpriced because of research and development costs. Government policies
demand strict licensing and legal requirements before a firm can start trading.
These factors make threat of new entrants in this industry unlikely to happen
unless they can afford to spend and keep up with competitions funds. Key players
take advantage of the economies of scale through its cost advantage to keep new
entrants out.

Suppliers
There are a lot of suppliers in this industry. Product is ordinary and has small
switching costs making it easier for firms to switch. There are no substitutes for
the product other than the ones provided from the suppliers which makes this a
main driver. In the fintech industry firms manage suppliers and customers just as
critical as each other. Key players buy raw materials from suppliers at low cost

28
ORGANISATION STUDY OF BHARATPE

and if the cost does not suit firms will switch. Firms might have separate
suppliers depending on its location which will be efficient in the supply chain.

Substitute products
There are few high-quality substitutes but are more expensive in this industry.
Buyers are less likely to switch to substitute products because firms that produce
within the industry sell at a lower price than substitute products. Key players
provide quality in its products resulting in buyers to choose them. Competitors
differentiate products to ensure buyers see products as being unique and do not
move to substitutes that do not provide the unique benefits.

Buyers
Product differentiation in this industry is high meaning that buyers cannot find
alternative firms making a certain product. Income of buyers is low meaning
there is pressure to purchase at low prices resulting in the buyers being more
price sensitive. Buyers will not downgrade in this industry and go back on
technology once they know how to use it. Key competitors focus on innovation
and differentiation to attract more buyers. Product differentiation and quality are
important to buyers. Top firms also build a large consumer base and do so
through marketing aimed at constructing brand loyalty.

CHAPTER-4

SWOT ANALYSIS

29
ORGANISATION STUDY OF BHARATPE

CHAPTER-4

SWOT ANALYSIS

SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis is a


framework used to evaluate a company's competitive position and to
develop strategic planning. SWOT analysis assesses internal and
external factors, as well as current and future potential.

Components of SWOT Analysis

Every SWOT analysis will include the following four categories. Though the
elements and discoveries within these categories will vary from company to
company, a SWOT analysis is not complete without each of these elements:

Strengths

Strengths describe what an organization excels at and what separates it from the
competition: a strong brand, loyal customer base, a strong balance sheet, unique
technology, and so on. For example, a hedge fund may have developed a
proprietary trading strategy that returns market-beating results. It must then
decide how to use those results to attract new investors.

30
ORGANISATION STUDY OF BHARATPE

Weaknesses

Weaknesses stop an organization from performing at its optimum level. They are
areas where the business needs to improve to remain competitive: a weak brand,
higher-than-average turnover, high levels of debt, an inadequate supply chain, or
lack of capital.

Opportunities

Opportunities refer to favorable external factors that could give an organization


a competitive advantage. For example, if a country cuts tariffs, a car
manufacturer can export its cars into a new market, increasing sales and market
share.

Threats

Threats refer to factors that have the potential to harm an organization. For
example, a drought is a threat to a wheat-producing company, as it may destroy
or reduce the crop yield. Other common threats include things like rising costs
for materials, increasing competition, tight labor supply and so on.

Strengths of BharatPe:

• Sponsorship
• Big Investors
• Bucket of offers
• Ease of Payments
• User and Merchant base
• Investment and acquisition user friendly service application

Weaknesses of BharatPe:

• IT Infrastructure
• Customer service
• Fear of losing money
• TDR rates that are higher
• Services creating confusion
• Requires an internet connection

31
ORGANISATION STUDY OF BHARATPE

• Experiencing fraudulent activities

Financial technology firm BharatPe has seen its revenue and transaction volume
jump manifold in the financial year 2020-21, as the pandemic has forced people
and businesses adopt digital transactions and fund-starved small businesses
seeking more credit avenues like this start-up.
The company gives small-ticket fully unsecured loans averaging at Rs 75,000 to
it merchant members. It disbursed Rs 1,600 crore in 2020-21 to 1.8 lakh
merchant customers, which was only Rs 150 crore in 2019-20, BharatPe Group
President Suhail Sameer told PTI on Thursday.

This helped the start-up net a seven-times growth in revenue to over Rs 700
crore, up from around Rs 110 crore in 2019-20, Sameer said.

While the number of merchants jumped to 60 lakh in 2020-21 from 24 lakh in the
previous year, transaction volume rose over four times to 10 crore a month or 120
crore annually from 2.7 crore a month in FY20, he said.

The transaction value touched around Rs 5,800 crore, he added.

"The financial year 2020-21 was a great year for us, as the pandemic turned out
to be a game changer for the payments and financial services industry," Sameer
said adding that this, along with the company's entry into the credit business,
helped it grow manifold.

The lending business, which started right in the end of 2019, turned out to be the
biggest game changer for the company, Sameer said.

He added that the loan book has grown more than 10 times to Rs 1,600 crore in
small-ticket loans during 2020-21, up from Rs 150 crore in 2019-20.

It charges an interest rate of 1.5-2 per cent per month for a period one to six
months and a customer with good repayment history can get it even at 1.2 per
cent per month, he said.

He claimed that the company has one of the lowest bounce rates in the unsecured
credit industry at four per cent as against the industry average of over 20 per cent.

"We plan to focus more on lending going forward as this is our revenue earner.
We have set a target of disbursing over Rs 15,000 crore in FY22," Sameer said.

It is also planning to enter 300 cities this year from 100 now.

He said the company has set a target of more than doubling the number of
merchants to 1.2-1.3 crore this fiscal and take it to three crore next fiscal, on the
revenue rise.

BharatPe has so far raised USD 300 million in equity and debt from marquee
investors such as Coatue Management, Ribbit Capital, Insight Partners,
Steadview Capital, Beenext, Amplo, and Sequoia Capital.

Of the USD 240 million equity funding, it has used up only USD 60 million so
far, Sameer said, indicating that it does not need capital now.

Our monthly cash burn is only USD 2.6 million, spent primarily on merchant
acquisition, and this expense can easily be controlled, he said.
