Poonawalla Fincorp plans to expand its operations by doubling its workforce and adding around 400 branches by next year.
The company aims to diversify its offerings to include loans for gold purchases, used cars, shopkeepers, and education, with a particular focus on smaller cities.
This expansion will be achieved through a combination of digital solutions and physical locations.
Despite the challenges faced by the shadow banking sector, including slowing credit growth and increased scrutiny from the Reserve Bank of India, Poonawalla Fincorp remains committed to its growth strategy.
The firm recently experienced a decline in stock value due to higher provisions for bad loans and rising operating costs in the latest quarter.
