The customer can generate his/her loan application, required details, credit information report along with verification of identity and address documents. This enables the customer to generate a ready to refer loan report. Loan Seva Kendra is a Mobile and web application platform where customers, especially in rural areas, can generate Loan application and Credit Reports at ease. This helps to create a marketplace where the customers can find the right lender and the lender gets access to credit worthy customers especially in rural areas which will mostly fall under Priority Sector Lending.

Brief us about your portfolio of solutions and the underlying technology frameworks of your solutions.
It is now being recognized that technology can improve operations, reduce costs of customer acquisition, customer service, and increase customer satisfaction. This is now opening up new avenues for banking, NBFCs, and insurance companies. AI and ML can make it possible to provide consumers with financial services that automatically let them decide on a suitable style of managing money, spending, saving, and investing. AI and ML play an important role in fraud detection, anti-money laundering, and compliance management. We provide services and solutions that enable access to financial services especially to rural enterprises, Agri-enterprises, Small businesses, Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), Producers, and individuals, at an affordable rate.

We are working on Robotic Process automation (RPA), an emerging form of business process automation technology based on artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML). RPA systems can help create an action list by watching the user perform a task and could help in evolving "software robots" to handle repetitive tasks traditionally handled by humans. Also, we are working on Blockchain technology that allows financial institutions to create direct links and interface with each other, avoiding correspondent banking.

What is ValueFin India Technologies future roadmap?
We are looking forward to providing our Mobile and web application platform to the NBFCs, MFIs, RRBs, DCCBs and banks and helping them financial with digital financial inclusion. Hopefully, in the next financial year, we will integrate at least 50 to 100 financial intuition in rural and our objective is to reach out to at least 200 thousand customers in the very first year. Over a period of next 5 years we wish to be leading digital solution provider for focussed on Rural India and reach 5 million customers.
