Credit and More: Mukesh Ambani’s Financial Foray

What happens when a disruptor like Reliance doubles down in financial services? It’s the network effect really. A large telecom and retail and digital services empire throwing up tons and tons of data … all getting churned from within the Reliance Retail and the Jio ecosystem,  captive and waiting to be mined and then monetized profitably through financial services both for consumers and merchants. It’s the Ant, Tencent, Gojek, Grab or even the Singtel playbook one can argue.  But isn’t it a crowded Indian market with banks, shadow lenders, and fintech upstarts all jostling for market and consumer’s wallet share? Will data privacy be a concern? Host Arijit Barman goes hunting for loans with Mohan Jayaraman, Partner at Bain & Company in Singapore, a specialist in analytics and fintech for a ringside view on the analytics revolution that’s playing out across Asia and senior journalist and TMB co-host Kalpana Pathak, who also tracks Reliance, energy and infrastructure for the Economic Times.
