In response to India’s central bank, RBI, tightening the reins on unsecured loans to curb rising debt, the fintech ecosystem faces a pivotal moment. The move underscores the critical role fintechs play in addressing financial gaps. As a Banking-as-a-Service expert, I see this as an opportunity for innovation – a chance for fintechs to pivot towards sustainable lending models, leveraging technology for responsible financial inclusion. The focus should be on collaborative solutions that balance growth and risk mitigation, ensuring that the fintech industry continues to be a force for positive economic transformation. – Jovi
