The turmoil in global markets has impacted multiple sectors with expected losses ranging from moderate to even significant. Ravi has manufacturing units of packaging materials in 9 states in India. Ravi's organisation is one amongst many of the banks' MSME customers who run their operations from various locations in India. Having operations severely impacted in 5 states, he reached out to bank(s) seeking immediate help for the survival of his business and was faced with an uphill task of convincing a growing list of circumspect lenders of his credit-worthiness under the prevailing business climate.

Given that banking transactions have been the backbone for any decisioning for lending, it is axiomatic that underwriters have installed more stringent processes to curb fraudulent attempts by borrowers and avoid high-risk decisions, especially for small businesses.

The bank decided to evaluate Ravi’s business as a pan India operation to get a comprehensive view of his financials, i.e. evaluate Multiple GSTINs. GSTIN data gives a granular insight on business transactions and has evolved as one of the most important sources of key data points for credit risk assessment. It provides detailed overview of cash flow, turnover of the entity, related parties & other key insights for a multi-dimensional assessment of a borrower’s creditworthiness. 

The ask of the time is to derive deeper insights into the business spread across India, and not restricting to locales or singular geo-specific data. It calls for smarter and robust piece of technology hardened over time that goes beyond traditional credit risk assessment methodologies. Time being of essence, Ravi's potential lender looked at Perfios for the solution.
