<title>Razorpay Launches UPI and All Payment Methods Within OpenAI&amp;apos;s Codex, Enabling Developers to Build and Monetise Apps Instantly</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Razorpay, India’s omnichannel payments platform for businesses, today, announced a first-of-its-kind collaboration with OpenAI, one that will make it easier for developers to monetise their apps by embedding payments in under 5 minutes. Starting today, developers on Codex, OpenAI’s AI coding platform used by over a million developers every week, can now connect Razorpay directly inside the agent and start accepting payments instantly.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Razorpay Integrates UPI Payments Directly into OpenAI Codex


	 


	This means builders can now move from an idea to a product that earns revenue in minutes. Instead of spending days setting up payment systems, developers can simply ask AI to add payments while building their app, powered by Razorpay’s MCP Server.


	 


	India is already home to one of the world’s largest developer communities and processes over 20 billion UPI transactions every month. As AI changes how software is built, this integration ensures that the products developers create can start earning from day one.


	 


	How it works → From Idea to Payment in a Single Prompt 


	By enabling the Razorpay MCP integration, developers can instruct Codex by describing the product they want to build and how they want to charge for it.


	 


	For example, a developer could say, “Build me an AI-powered fitness coaching app and help me collect payments from my users via Razorpay,” into Codex, which will generate an app and automatically set up Razorpay’s payment gateway to handle payments (checkout flows and payment collection automatically).


	 


	For student builders, solo founders, and early-stage startups, this removes one of the biggest hurdles to launching a product - that is, setting up payments. Builders can now go from idea to product to revenue without complex setup or building any payment infrastructure.


	 


	Managing Payments with AI - Inside ChatGPT


	Beyond Razorpay’s collaboration with OpenAI on Codex, Razorpay is also bringing payments management directly into ChatGPT. Businesses can install Razorpay’s App from the ChatGPT app directory and manage payments, etc., simply by asking questions.


	 


	For example, a business could ask the system to match payments with their bank statement, check refund status, or track settlements - all through a simple conversation.


	 


	“India is entering a moment where anyone with an idea can build a product in hours with AI,” said Shashank Kumar, Co-founder and MD of Razorpay. “But the real shift happens when those ideas can become businesses instantly. Our vision is simple: if AI makes it effortless to build, Razorpay should make it effortless to earn. By bringing Razorpay directly into Codex, we’re paving the way, i.e., the moment a developer creates something valuable, they can start charging for it right away. The next generation of startups won’t begin with funding or infrastructure - they’ll begin with a prompt. And when that prompt turns into a product, Razorpay will be there to power the transaction behind it.” 


	 


	Oliver Jay, Managing Director, International, OpenAI, said, “Codex is helping developers turn prompts into working software in minutes, and we’re seeing strong growth in adoption in India. In February, weekly users for the tool increased by 4x in just two weeks. Integrating Razorpay directly into Codex means builders can now go from idea to product to revenue in a single workflow, and we’re excited to see how this will impact the builder community.”


	
		 

	
		Building the Future of AI Commerce 



	This launch builds on Razorpay’s broader vision to power the next generation of AI-driven commerce. Through its ongoing work with OpenAI and the National Payments Corporation of India, Razorpay has also introduced agentic payments in India during the Global Fintech Fest last year - enabling AI systems to securely initiate and complete financial transactions on behalf of users.


	 


	Together, these efforts reflect a simple vision: as AI makes it easier for anyone to build, Razorpay is making it just as easy for them to earn.

<title>GoCredit Deploys India&amp;apos;s First AI&#45;Powered Loan Agent</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/gocredit-deploys-indias-first-ai-powered-loan-agent</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/gocredit-deploys-indias-first-ai-powered-loan-agent</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	GoCredit, a financial intelligence platform, has launched India’s first AI-powered Loan Agent, a conversational system that enables borrowers to discover, match, and apply for personal loans through a single chat-based interaction. The product has been in production since March 2026, processing real loan applications.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	GoCredit&#039;s AI Loan Agent aims to automate the complete loan application journey for borrowers


	 


	GoCredit has facilitated over Rs. 100 crore in loan disbursals, generated more than 15 million loan offers, and served over 2 million borrowers across 55+ lending partners.


	 


	A New Chapter in India&#039;s Credit Evolution


	India&#039;s lending ecosystem has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last decade. Deliberate regulatory design by the Reserve Bank of India — from the Co-Lending Model framework to Digital Lending Guidelines to the Account Aggregator infrastructure — has enabled a sophisticated system where banks provide low-cost capital and NBFCs deploy data-driven underwriting to reach borrowers that traditional banking infrastructure cannot serve alone.
	 


	GoCredit&#039;s AI Loan Agent represents the next step in this evolution: bringing the same intelligence and efficiency to the borrower&#039;s side of the transaction.


	 


	What the Loan Agent Does


	Today, a borrower seeking a personal loan typically downloads multiple apps, re-enters the same details on each, and triggers separate hard inquiries on their bureau report with every application — negatively impacting the very credit score they need to qualify. The act of seeking credit makes it harder to get credit.


	 


	The AI Loan Agent, live on the GoCredit platform, eliminates this cycle. The borrower describes their requirement once. The agent identifies the best-fit lender and submits a single consent-based application. No duplicate forms. No scattershot inquiries. The borrower&#039;s credit identity stays protected. While the Loan Agent currently lives on GoCredit platform, the company&#039;s longer-term vision is to make this intelligence layer available across the broader lending ecosystem.


	 


	The agent lives with GoCredit&#039;s first lending partner, processing applications daily. Additional integrations are rolling out in monthly waves through 2026.


	 


	&quot;RBI has built the regulatory architecture that lets India&#039;s lending system work brilliantly at the institutional level — banks providing capital, NBFCs providing intelligence, frameworks like Co-Lending making the connection seamless. What&#039;s been missing is someone on the borrower&#039;s side. The Loan Agent is our answer: an AI that represents the borrower inside this system, not just another app that makes them navigate it alone.&quot; - Anupam Acharya, Co-Founder &amp; CEO, GoCredit.


	 


	What This Means for Borrowers and Lenders


	For borrowers, the Loan Agent changes the economics of seeking credit. Instead of downloading multiple apps and absorbing hard inquiry damage across scattered applications, the borrower makes one informed decision through a single conversation. The agent handles profile assessment, lender matching, and consent-based application submission — replacing a process that typically takes days and costs the borrower credit score points with one that takes minutes and costs them nothing.
	 


	&quot;We designed the agent on consent-based automation — no proprietary API dependency on any lender, no bilateral integration per partner. That architecture is what lets us onboard new lending partners in days instead of quarters, and it&#039;s how we&#039;ll scale to fifty partners without the system collapsing under its own complexity.&quot; - Shubham Arawkar, Co-Founder &amp; CTO, GoCredit.


	 


	For lenders, the agent delivers pre-qualified, consent-verified, high-intent borrowers — matched to their specific approval criteria before the application is submitted. Early production data shows a 25 per cent improvement in conversion from offer click to KYC completion, driven by the agent&#039;s ability to match borrowers to the right lender before the journey begins. With full roll-out across lending partners, GoCredit projects a significant boost in application-to-disbursal conversion — translating directly into lower operational costs per loan for lenders. Fewer wasted credit pulls, fewer abandoned applications, fewer resources spent on borrowers who were never going to qualify.


	 


	The Next Evolution of the Loan Journey


	The Indian loan journey has evolved in distinct phases. The first era brought applications to bank branches. The second moved them to apps — digital forms, aggregators, instant pre-approvals. Each phase reduced friction but kept the borrower as the one doing the work.
	 


	&quot;The core challenge was building a system that can assess a borrower&#039;s profile, match it against multiple lenders&#039; criteria, and submit a fully compliant application, all while keeping it cost-effective at scale and making the experience feel human. A borrower applying for a loan is already stressed. The agent had to feel like a friend helping them through paperwork, not another system throwing forms at them. Making that work with real users and real money is where the actual engineering went.&quot; - Pranav Murali, Co-Founder &amp; Lead AI Engineer, GoCredit.


	 


	AI loan agents represent the next leap: the era where applications disappear altogether. The agent doesn&#039;t digitise the old journey — it replaces it with a fundamentally different interaction. One conversation, intelligent matching, consent-based automation, and an outcome that benefits the entire ecosystem — borrowers get better terms, lenders get higher-quality applicants, and the credit system operates more efficiently at every layer.


	 


	GoCredit is an AI Powered credit platform now with a 55+lender marketplace serving millions of Indian borrowers.


	 


	About GoCredit


	GoCredit is a financial intelligence platform for India&#039;s middle class. The company has facilitated over Rs. 100 crore in loan disbursals, generated more than 15 million loan offers for over 2 million borrowers, and integrated 55+ lending partners — built by a five-member founding team. GoCredit&#039;s product suite includes India&#039;s first AI-powered Loan Agent and AI-driven credit score forecasting. The company&#039;s R&amp;D division, TARA AI Labs, publishes research on behavioural credit modeling and responsible AI in the fintech domain.

			Marking a step towards PayU’s roadmap to becoming an AI-native organization across the merchant lifecycle
	
	
		
			PayU’s AI-powered voice agent engages, verifies, and onboards merchants through natural conversational interactions in English and Hindi, with plans to scale across multiple languages
	



	 


	PayU, a leading diversified fintech platform, has today announced the launch of its AI-Powered Outbound Voice Call Assistant, marking a key step in its broader strategy of becoming an AI-native organization across the merchant lifecycle.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	PayU’s AI-powered voice agent engages, verifies, and onboards merchants through natural conversational interactions in English and Hindi, with plans to scale across multiple languages


	 


	Merchant onboarding has traditionally been a cumbersome and time-consuming process, involving extensive paperwork, KYC verification, and multiple activation steps, often leading to delays, friction, and merchant drop-offs.


	 


	To address these challenges, PayU’s AI-powered Voice Call Assistant proactively engages merchant leads, especially those who have not initiated their onboarding journey. Through natural, conversational interactions in English and Hindi, the assistant guides merchants through the onboarding process while capturing essential business information such as website details, expected revenue, and business category. This enables faster verification, improved lead qualification, and significantly reduces drop-offs by connecting merchants with the right support at the right time, while enabling seamless handover to account managers for timely human intervention.


	 


	“We’re entering an era where Voice AI is becoming a core driver of how businesses operate and grow,” said Manas Mishra, Chief Product Officer, PayU and Wibmo. “At PayU, we are steadily building an AI-native platform where merchants remain at the center of every innovation. Our AI-Powered Outbound Voice Call Assistant is one example of how we are removing friction across the merchant lifecycle, from onboarding to activation and beyond, while enabling our teams to focus on deeper, high-impact engagement.”


	 


	PayU further intends to expand Voice AI deployment to additional merchant touchpoints, including KYC drop-off recovery, activation workflows, new product requests, and cross-sell opportunities and scale it across multiple languages to serve a broader merchant base.


	 


	About PayU


	PayU, India&#039;s leading diversified fintech platform with Prosus as an investor, operates businesses that are regulated by the Reserve Bank of India and offers advanced solutions to meet the digital financial services needs of customers (merchants, banks, and consumers). 
	 


	PayU provides payment gateway solutions to online businesses through its cutting-edge and award-winning technology and has empowered 4.5 lakhs+ businesses, including India’s leading enterprises, e-commerce giants and SMBs. It enables businesses to collect digital payments across 100+ online payment methods such as Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Net Banking, EMIs, pay-later, QR, UPI, Wallets, and more. It’s a preferred partner in the affordability ecosystem, offering the maximum coverage of issuers and easy-to-implement integrations across card-based EMIs, pay-later options and new-age cardless EMIs.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	When Samsung launched the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in 2025, it changed what Indian buyers expected from a premium smartphone. Now, with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 expected to arrive in July 2026, Samsung is preparing to do it all over again. Early reports point to a device that addresses everything buyers wanted. A bigger battery, a sharper ultrawide camera, and the kind of raw processing power that makes a large foldable display truly worth having. If the leaks are accurate, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 may be the most complete foldable Samsung has ever made.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Get the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 on Bajaj Finserv Easy EMI loan and enjoy hassle-free, budget-friendly payments

	The most significant camera upgrade on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 comes in the ultrawide department with a 50MP ultrawide lens.

	The Galaxy Z Fold 8 is expected to launch with Android 16 and Samsung&#039;s latest One UI, bringing multi-year OS upgrades and regular security patches. Galaxy AI features are also expected across productivity and camera tools, building on the innovations introduced with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7.

<title>Need a Personal Loan? Bajaj Finance Now Offers Up to 108 Months to Repay</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/need-a-personal-loan-bajaj-finance-now-offers-up-to-108-months-to-repay</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/need-a-personal-loan-bajaj-finance-now-offers-up-to-108-months-to-repay</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bajaj Finance has increased the maximum repayment tenure for its personal loan offering from 96 months to 108 months, providing customers with greater flexibility in managing their finances. With a longer repayment window, borrowers can spread their repayment over a longer period, making monthly instalments more manageable and supporting better financial planning.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan


	
	In today’s dynamic financial environment, individuals often face situations that require quick access to funds. Whether it is a medical emergency, a family celebration, travel plans, or urgent home repairs, arranging funds at short notice can be challenging. A personal loan provides a convenient solution by offering timely financial support without disrupting long-term savings. By extending the repayment tenure, Bajaj Finance aims to make borrowing more affordable, flexible, and accessible for customers with varying financial needs.


	
	Longer repayment tenure helps reduce monthly financial pressure
	The availability of repayment tenure of up to 108 months allows customers to distribute their repayment over a longer duration. This approach can help reduce the size of monthly instalments, making it easier to manage household expenses alongside loan obligations. It also improves monthly cash flow, allowing borrowers to allocate funds towards savings, investments, or other financial priorities.


	
	Customers can choose a repayment tenure ranging from 12 months to 108 months, depending on their income, financial commitments, and repayment preferences. This flexibility enables individuals to align their loan repayment with their monthly budget and avoid unnecessary financial strain. A longer repayment period can be particularly beneficial when managing large or long-term expenses that require careful planning.


	
	Personal loan interest rate supports better decision-making
	Clear communication of loan terms is an essential part of responsible lending. Bajaj Finance ensures that customers are informed about the applicable personal loan interest rate before finalising their loan. This transparency helps borrowers understand the total cost of borrowing and plan their repayments accordingly.


	
	The interest rate typically ranges from 10% to 30% per annum, depending on factors such as income level, credit history, and repayment behaviour. By providing clear information about interest rates and repayment obligations, the company supports informed financial decisions and helps customers avoid unexpected repayment challenges over the loan tenure.


	
	Flexible loan amounts support different financial needs
	Financial requirements vary from person to person, and access to the right loan amount is essential for responsible borrowing. Bajaj Finance offers a wide loan amount range starting from Rs. 40,000 and extending up to Rs. 55 lakh, allowing customers to select an amount that matches their specific needs.


	
	This flexibility ensures that customers can manage both small and significant expenses without borrowing more than necessary. Choosing an appropriate loan amount helps maintain financial discipline and reduces the risk of repayment challenges in the future. By providing options that suit different financial situations, the personal loan offering supports customers in making informed borrowing decisions.


	
	Quick approval process ensures timely financial support
	Speed is often a critical factor when dealing with financial requirements. Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan process is simple and efficient, enabling customers to apply online with minimal effort. The digital application system reduces paperwork and shortens processing time, making the borrowing experience more convenient.


	
	For eligible applicants, approval is completed quickly, and funds are typically disbursed within 24 hours* after verification. This timely access to funds can be especially valuable during emergencies or situations where immediate financial support is required. A seamless and responsive process helps customers address urgent needs without unnecessary delays.


	
	Collateral-free borrowing makes access to credit easier
	Another important feature of the personal loan offering is that it is completely collateral-free. Customers are not required to pledge property, gold, or other assets as security to obtain funds. This reduces financial risk and simplifies the borrowing process, particularly for individuals who prefer unsecured financing options.


	
	Minimal documentation requirements further enhance convenience. In most cases, customers only need to provide basic identity, address, and income details to complete their application. A straightforward process allows borrowers to focus on their financial priorities rather than complex paperwork.


	 


	Supporting customers through important life moments
	Access to reliable financing can make a significant difference during important life events. Customers often rely on a personal loan to manage expenses related to planned milestones such as weddings, education, and travel, as well as unplanned situations like medical emergencies or urgent repairs.


	
	Having a dependable source of funds allows individuals to move forward with their plans without delay. The availability of a longer repayment tenure further enhances convenience by giving borrowers more time to manage their financial commitments comfortably. This helps customers stay financially prepared across different life situations without disrupting their broader financial plans.


	
	Focus on responsible lending and customer convenience
	With repayment tenure now extended up to 108 months, Bajaj Finance offers customers greater flexibility in structuring their loan repayments. This is supported by loan amounts ranging from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 55 lakh, transparent personal loan interest rates, minimal documentation requirements, and disbursal within 24 hours*, covering a wide range of financial needs.


	
	Customers planning an expense or facing an urgent financial need can review their eligibility, apply now, and select a repayment plan that aligns with their financial goals and monthly budget.


	
	Terms and conditions apply*

<description><![CDATA[ Baisakhi is a time for full tables, festive cooking, and the kind of hosting that pushes a refrigerator to its limits. For households still working with an older single door model — one that ices up, runs out of space, and needs manual defrosting — this festive season is the perfect moment to make the switch. A frost-free double door refrigerator cools more evenly, stores more, and keeps food fresher for longer. With separate compartments, an inverter compressor, and zero maintenance cooling, it is not just an upgrade — it is a long overdue necessity for any busy kitchen.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Make your refrigerator upgrade easy and budget-friendly with Bajaj Finserv Easy EMI Loan


	
	The good news is that upgrading does not have to mean paying for it all at once. Customers can visit the Easy EMI Loan page on the Bajaj Finserv website, browse refrigerators that suit their home, and get a loan approved online — all before they even step into a store. They can then head to the nearest partner store to complete the purchase and split the total cost into Easy EMIs that fit their monthly budget. Select models come with zero down payment — meaning the new refrigerator comes home today, with payments starting only next month.


	
	Why a double door refrigerator is worth the upgrade

			Lower electricity bills: Inverter compressors use up to 30–50% less energy compared to fixed-speed models.
	
	
		
			More storage flexibility: Select models offer convertible freezer-to-fridge modes — ideal for festive seasons when fresh food storage needs spike.

<title>Bajaj Finance Extends Personal Loan Tenure up to 108 Months, Easing Repayment Burden</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-extends-personal-loan-tenure-up-to-108-months-easing-repayment-burden</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-extends-personal-loan-tenure-up-to-108-months-easing-repayment-burden</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Bajaj Finance has enhanced its personal loan offering by introducing an extended repayment tenure of up to 108 months (9 years). This move is designed to give customers greater flexibility in managing their finances. With longer tenures, borrowers can opt for lower monthly instalments that align better with their budget.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan


	
	A personal loan from Bajaj Finance is designed to help people manage both planned and urgent expenses. Whether it is a medical emergency, a family wedding, travel plans, or home repairs, customers can access funds quickly without pledging any collateral. The company continues to focus on providing reliable financial support through simple processes.


	
	Flexible loan amount and extended repayment tenure 
	The newly introduced 108-month repayment tenure is a key enhancement in the Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan. The repayment tenure has been extended from 96 months (8 years) to 108 months (9 years), giving customers more time to repay their loan and helping reduce the monthly EMI burden. This can be especially useful for borrowers who want to manage large expenses without putting pressure on their monthly cash flow.


	
	By offering a longer repayment window, Bajaj Finance allows customers to choose a tenure that fits their financial comfort. Those who prefer smaller instalments over a longer period now have more control over how they plan their repayment journey. At the same time, customers who wish to repay faster and potentially reduce their overall interest cost may continue to choose shorter tenures based on their needs, within the range of 12 months to 108 months.


	
	Bajaj Finance offers a wide range of loan amounts to meet different financial needs. Customers can choose a loan amount starting from Rs. 40,000 up to Rs. 55 lakh. This flexibility allows individuals to borrow only what they need.


	
	Quick approval and fast disbursal
	Speed is an important factor when dealing with financial needs. Bajaj Finance focuses on providing quick approval for eligible applicants. The application process is simple and can often be completed online.


	
	Once approved, funds are typically disbursed within 24 hours*. This quick access to money can be helpful during emergencies or urgent situations. Customers do not have to wait for long processing times or complicated paperwork.


	
	A fast and efficient process ensures that borrowers can focus on solving their financial needs without unnecessary delays.


	 


	Competitive interest rates
	Bajaj Finance offers competitive interest rates on personal loans, helping customers manage borrowing costs effectively. Customers are informed about the applicable personal loan interest rate before they apply. This helps them plan their monthly budget with confidence.


	
	The interest rate typically ranges from 10% to 30% per annum, depending on factors such as income, repayment history, and credit profile. Competitive interest rate allows customers to choose a loan structure that fits their financial goals while keeping repayments comfortable over the selected tenure.


	
	Collateral-free loan with minimal documentation
	Another advantage of choosing a personal loan from Bajaj Finance is that it is a collateral-free loan. Customers do not need to provide property, gold, or any other asset as security. This reduces stress and makes the borrowing process more accessible.


	
	The documentation requirements are also simple. In most cases, customers need to submit basic identity, address, and income details. Minimal paperwork helps speed up approval and makes the process convenient for working professionals, self-employed individuals, and small business owners.


	
	This straightforward approach allows borrowers to apply with confidence and receive funds without complicated formalities.


	
	Real-life use cases for a personal loan
	A personal loan can support many types of financial needs. Some common situations where customers use these funds include:

<description><![CDATA[ With rising living costs and evolving financial needs, individuals are increasingly looking for ways to manage expenses without disrupting their long-term financial plans. One of the key aspects of borrowing today is not just access to funds, but the ability to plan repayments efficiently.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan

	Growing need for smarter financial planning


	As financial commitments become more diverse, ranging from medical needs and education expenses to lifestyle upgrades, planning cash flow has become essential.

<title>slice Opens its UPI Credit Card to All, with 1.2 Million Customers Already in Line</title>

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/slice-opens-its-upi-credit-card-to-all-with-12-million-customers-already-in-line</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ slice, India&#039;s first digital &amp; AI native bank, today opened its UPI credit card to all customers. The card, which launched on an invite-only basis in July 2025, has built a waitlist of more than 1.2 million customers. This launch marks one of the first large-scale efforts to build a credit product natively on UPI rails.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	slice UPI credit card


	
	The card is free to own and use, with no joining fee, no annual fee, and no maintenance charge of any kind. Payments through the slice UPI card, work just like any other UPI transaction; through a QR code or a UPI ID. Customers can split payments into three monthly instalments at no extra cost through the product’s &quot;slice in 3&quot; feature. The card works internationally too, with no forex markup and acceptance in 200+ countries.


	
	slice&#039;s UPI credit card makes no-cost credit instalments accessible to 300 million Indians across 65 million merchants, on the largest payments network ever built. For context, the world&#039;s largest buy-now-pay-later platforms together reach roughly 1.5 million merchants globally.


	
	“slice credit card is now live for everyone. We appreciate the patience of our 1.2 million waitlisted customers over the last few months. We will shortly begin processing your applications and start accepting all new ones,” Rajan Bajaj, founder &amp; CEO, slice said in a tweet.


	
	Users earn rewards across all transactions, making it one of the first credit products in India to consistently reward small-ticket, high-frequency UPI transactions. UPI has already put a payments infrastructure in the hands of 300 million Indians. This card now layers a credit product on top of that — built around how those 300 million actually spend: in small amounts, frequently, and across millions of merchants. slice&#039;s systems assess creditworthiness based on real transaction behaviour, enabling it to extend credit responsibly and grow limits incrementally as behaviour is demonstrated. 


	
	About slice

It is reimagining consumer banking in India with simple, transparent and technology-driven products. slice operates as a full-stack bank, offering solutions such as the slice savings account, slice fixed deposits, slice UPI, slice borrow, the slice UPI credit card, and India’s first UPI-led bank branch.

<title>Zopper Launches ZENOVA, India&amp;apos;s First Agentic Bancassurance Operating Layer</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/zopper-launches-zenova-indias-first-agentic-bancassurance-operating-layer</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/zopper-launches-zenova-indias-first-agentic-bancassurance-operating-layer</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Purpose-built to help banks meet the Responsible Business Conduct regime, which will eliminate mis-selling risk by design
	
	
		
			ZENOVA is a policy-driven control layer that sits between core banking systems, insurer platforms, and all customer-facing channels
	
	
		
			Zopper&#039;s multi-insurer platform ZENOVA will help banks and BFSI players across India to configure institutions&#039; policies and architecture without multi-year build cycles.
	



	 


	Zopper, India&#039;s leading insurtech company, announced the launch of ZENOVA, an agentic layer designed to transform how banks distribute insurance products. ZENOVA embeds suitability, disclosure, and evidence generation directly into every insurance sale — helping reduce mis-selling risks across every channel. ZENOVA is powered by Zopper&#039;s API-first, multi-insurer platform already deployed at scale with banks and BFSI players across India and can be configured to each institution&#039;s policies and architecture without multi-year build cycles.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	ZENOVA is powered by Zopper&#039;s API-first, multi-insurer platform, deployed at scale with banks and BFSI players across India


	 


	Under the emerging Responsible Business Conduct (RBC) framework, mis-selling is no longer a reputational concern but has a direct impact on P&amp;L event. Banks face full refund plus compensation obligations if mis-selling is proven, and the fiduciary responsibility sits squarely with the distributing bank, not the insurer.


	 


	ZENOVA is a policy-driven control layer that sits between core banking systems, insurer platforms, and all customer-facing channels. It orchestrates every stage of an insurance interaction, from customer profiling. It needs assessment, suitability scoring, disclosure, consent, issuance, and post-sale verification, generating a regulator-grade evidence file as a byproduct of every transaction.


	 


	Suitability is built in by design, with board-approved rules translated into executable logic to ensure every sale passes a rigorous suitability check without exception. This is supported by a unified evidence fabric, where each sale is captured in a single, time-stamped record that includes screens, consents, recordings, and PLVC outcomes, making it instantly retrievable for audits, complaints, or regulatory review. At the same time, channel-consistent conduct is enforced through uniform suitability and disclosure standards applied seamlessly across branches, apps, contact centres, and WhatsApp, ensuring a consistent and compliant customer experience at every touchpoint.


	 


	Mr Surjendu Kuila, Co-founder &amp; CEO, said, “Banks that choose to re-platform onto ZENOVA will not only meet the next wave of conduct supervision, but they will set the benchmark for what responsible, profitable bancassurance looks like in India.”


	 


	Bragadish Sureshkumar, Chief Technology Officer, added, “ZENOVA is built for a world where banks are expected to prove, not just claim that every sale was done right. By combining agentic AI with a deep, evidence‑first architecture, we give institutions a single platform that can orchestrate journeys in real time and still leave a clear audit trail for every recommendation, interaction, and decision.”


	 


	Zopper has raised $125 million to date from marquee investors, including Creaegis, Bessemer Venture Partners, ICICI Venture, Blume Ventures, Elevation Capital, and Dharana Capital. With a 600+ member team across technology, sales, strategy, and operations, the company plans to double down on market penetration in the country while pursuing global expansion and strategic acquisitions in emerging markets.


	 


	Zopper has been actively integrating AI and Generative AI across underwriting, sales optimisation, fraud detection, and customer servicing. Its proprietary Digi-Banca platform offers a unified, end-to-end technology stack for insurers and banks, enabling seamless integration and improved customer journeys across multiple financial institutions. Zopper’s mission is to make insurance simple, contextual, and embedded within everyday consumer journeys. By leveraging technology to streamline underwriting, reduce issuance time to minutes, and design tailored micro-products, the company has significantly improved accessibility across ecosystems spanning lifestyle, digital commerce, and financial services.


	 


	About Zopper
	Zopper combines insurance and technology to deliver customised, end-to-end distribution solutions for insurers and ecosystem partners. Through API-led infrastructure and embedded insurance capabilities, Zopper is expanding access, improving efficiency, and strengthening India’s insurance ecosystem.

<title>Nilkamal Homes Launches &amp;apos;Safe Space Studios&amp;apos; for Content Creators in Bengaluru</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/nilkamal-homes-launches-safe-space-studios-for-content-creators-in-bengaluru</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/nilkamal-homes-launches-safe-space-studios-for-content-creators-in-bengaluru</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ India’s creator economy is growing rapidly, with thousands of independent influencers, vloggers and digital storytellers producing content every day. However, many creators face a common challenge - finding professional, well-designed and visually appealing spaces where they can shoot high-quality content. Studio rentals and premium locations are often expensive and not easily accessible for emerging creators.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Nilkamal Homes
	 


	Nilkamal Homes identified this gap and addressed it with Safe Space Studios by Nilkamal Homes, a one-of-its-kind initiative that gives creators access to beautifully designed showroom spaces that can be used as ready-to-shoot sets, free of cost. The pioneering initiative transforms its flagship Bengaluru showroom at NTR Plaza, Outer Ring Rd, Marathahalli into a high-end, free-to-use production set for content creators every Tuesday and Thursday from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM. 


	 


	During these hours, creators can use these curated interiors of the store as ready-made sets to shoot videos, reels, podcasts, and other digital content. Through this initiative, Nilkamal Homes aims to support the growing creator community by providing a premium, safe and accessible environment where creators can bring their ideas to life and produce engaging content. 


	 


	By day, the Marathahalli store functions as a Furniture showroom that welcomes customers to explore an expansive range of home furniture and décor, set within thoughtfully designed spaces that inspire confident purchase decisions. By night, it seamlessly transforms into a dynamic content creation studio, featuring multiple curated zones tailored for creators. From opulent bedroom settings to elegantly styled living and sofa spaces, each zone offers versatile styling possibilities. This unique adaptability provides creators with far greater flexibility and creative control than conventional, ready-made studios, free of cost. 
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Nilkamal Homes
	 


	Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Parekh, President at Nilkamal Homes, said, “Creators are the architects of today’s brand narratives, yet their creative potential is often constrained by limited access to well-designed, aesthetic spaces. With Safe Space Studios by Nilkamal Homes, we aim to bridge this gap by offering thoughtfully curated, well-lit, premium environments - completely free of charge. Bengaluru, widely regarded as the epicentre of India’s digital content ecosystem, was a natural choice to pilot this initiative.” 


	 


	Creators who want to use the space can apply through Nilkamal Homes’ official Instagram page @NilkamalHomes. Selected creators will receive a two-hour shooting slot and access to multiple styled areas including living rooms, sofas, dining setups, and bedroom spaces. On-site support will also be available to ensure a smooth shooting experience. 


	 


	The Marathahalli studio is a pilot project. Based on the response, Nilkamal Homes plans to expand Safe Space Studios to more than 70 Nilkamal Homes stores across India, creating one of the largest networks of free creator-friendly studio spaces in the country. 


	 


	About Nilkamal Homes
	Part of the legendary Nilkamal Limited group, Nilkamal Homes is a leader in the Indian home décor and furniture market. Known for their well-made furniture and decor, the brand operates 70+ stores across India, dedicated to redefining modern living for the Indian family.

<title>Why Interest Rates Matter When Choosing a Personal Loan: Key Insights for Salaried Borrowers</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-interest-rates-matter-when-choosing-a-personal-loan-key-insights-for-salaried-borrowers</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-interest-rates-matter-when-choosing-a-personal-loan-key-insights-for-salaried-borrowers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As personal loans continue to gain popularity among salaried individuals, interest rates remain one of the most important factors influencing borrowing decisions.


	 


	
		
			
				
					
			
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan


	
	With lenders like Bajaj Finance offering digital personal loan solutions tailored for salaried employees, access to credit has become faster and more convenient. This shift has made it easier for individuals to address both planned expenses and urgent financial needs without lengthy processes.


	
	At the same time, the cost of borrowing, primarily determined by the interest rate, plays a crucial role in shaping repayment commitments. A competitive interest rate can significantly reduce both monthly EMIs and the overall repayment amount, making it essential for borrowers to understand how these rates are structured before applying.


	
	Importance of interest rates in personal loans
	The personal loan interest rate represents the cost of borrowing and directly impacts:


	
		
			Monthly EMI
	
	
		
			Total repayment amount over the loan tenure
	
	
		
			Overall financial planning and budget management
	



	
	Even a small variation in interest rates can lead to a noticeable difference in long-term repayment, especially for loans with longer tenures.


	
	Factors that influence personal loan interest rates
	Interest rates offered to salaried individuals are not fixed and may vary based on several key factors:


	
		
			Credit score and repayment history

		
			
				
					A strong credit profile reflects responsible borrowing behaviour
			
		
	
	
		
			Monthly income and job stability

		
			
				
					Consistent income improves repayment capacity
			
		
	
	
		
			Existing financial obligations

		
			
				
					Lower liabilities may lead to better loan terms
			
		
	
	
		
			Employer profile

		
			
				
					Working with established organisations may positively influence eligibility
			
		
	



	 


	A well-maintained financial profile can improve the chances of securing more favourable interest rates.


	
	Why competitive rates matter for salaried individuals
	Salaried individuals typically rely on fixed monthly income, making it important to ensure that EMIs remain manageable.


	
	Lower interest rates can:


	
		
			Help keep EMIs within a comfortable range
	
	
		
			Reduce the total interest paid over time
	
	
		
			Support better long-term financial stability
	



	
	For this reason, comparing interest rates and understanding associated charges becomes an important step before choosing a personal loan.


	
	Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan: Key advantages
	The Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan is structured to meet the needs of salaried borrowers by offering a balance of flexibility, convenience, and accessibility:


	
		
			Loan amounts ranging from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 55 lakh

		
			
				
					Allows individuals to choose an amount based on their specific financial requirement
			
		
	
	
		
			Competitive interest rates

		
			
				
					Bajaj Finance offers attractive interest rates on personal loans ranging from 10% to 30% per annum*, depending on the customer’s credit profile, income, and eligibility.
			
		
	
	
		
			Flexible repayment tenure from 12 months to 96 months

		
			
				
					Enables borrowers to align EMIs with their monthly income and financial comfort
			
		
	
	
		
			Quick digital application process with fast approvals

		
			
				
					Reduces waiting time and simplifies access to funds
			
		
	
	
		
			Minimal documentation requirements

		
			
				
					Makes the application process more efficient and user-friendly
			
		
	



	 


	These features support borrowers in managing both short-term needs and long-term repayment commitments effectively.


	
	Simple and efficient online application process
	Applying for a personal loan through Bajaj Finance is designed to be straightforward and fully digital, allowing applicants to complete the process with ease.


	 


	The application journey typically involves:


	
		
			Visiting the Personal Loan section on the Bajaj Finserv website and initiating the application
	
	
		
			Verifying the registered mobile number through a one-time password (OTP)
	
	
		
			Filling in basic details related to the loan requirement
	
	
		
			Proceeding to select the preferred loan amount and available loan options
	
	
		
			Choosing a suitable repayment tenure, ranging from 12 months to 96 months
	
	
		
			Completing the KYC process and submitting the application online
	



	 


	This end-to-end digital process reduces the need for branch visits, extensive paperwork, and lengthy procedures, offering a more seamless borrowing experience.


	
	Access to support and assistance
	In addition to competitive rates, customer support plays an important role in the borrowing experience.

	Having access to reliable support ensures a smoother and more transparent loan journey.


	
	Making informed borrowing decisions

<title>Why Frost&#45;Free Inverter Refrigerators Are Worth the Upgrade This Gudi Padwa</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-frost-free-inverter-refrigerators-are-worth-the-upgrade-this-gudi-padwa</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-frost-free-inverter-refrigerators-are-worth-the-upgrade-this-gudi-padwa</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Gudi Padwa marks the start of a new year - a time to welcome fresh beginnings, good fortune, and smarter choices into the home. And if there&#039;s one upgrade worth making this festive season, it&#039;s switching to a frost-free inverter refrigerator. Unlike traditional direct-cool models that ice up, run loudly, and rack up high electricity bills, frost-free inverter refrigerators cool more evenly, run more efficiently, and keep food fresher for longer.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Easy EMI Loan


	 


	The good news is that upgrading does not have to mean paying for it all at once. Customers can visit the Easy EMI Loan page on the Bajaj Finserv website, browse refrigerators that suit their home, and get a loan approved online — all before they even step into a store. They can then head to the nearest partner store to complete the purchase and split the total cost into Easy EMIs that fit their monthly budget. Select models come with zero down payment — meaning the new refrigerator comes home today, with payments starting only next month.


	 


	Why Frost-Free Inverter Tech is a must-have


	Frost-free technology uses fans to circulate cool air evenly, preventing ice buildup in the freezer. Paired with an inverter compressor that runs at variable speeds based on cooling demand, this results in:


	
		
			Lower electricity bills: Up to 30–50% energy savings compared to non-inverter models.
	
	
		
			Reduced noise: Quiet operation that does not disturb the home environment.
	
	
		
			Longer freshness: Precise temperature control keeps perishable items fresh for days.
	



	 


	Best Frost-Free Inverter refrigerators to buy this Gudi Padwa


	From compact double-door models to AI-powered options, here are five of the best frost-free inverter refrigerators available right now — with EMI prices to match every budget.

<title>Yezdi Roadster wins car&amp;amp;bike &amp;apos;Bike Design of the Year&amp;apos; for its Defiant Design</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/yezdi-roadster-wins-carbike-bike-design-of-the-year-for-its-defiant-design</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/yezdi-roadster-wins-carbike-bike-design-of-the-year-for-its-defiant-design</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ car&amp;bike Bike Design of the Year: Yezdi Roadster wins one of India’s most respected automotive design honours.
	
	
		
			Award-winning stance: A planted silhouette, blending cruiser presence with roadster ergonomics, made muscular with wide rear fender and one of the widest rear tyres in the segment
	
	
		
			Segment-defining modular design: Switch between a bobber-style solo seat and a dual-seat configuration in minutes, retaining a finished look either way.
	
	
		
			Nod to lineage: Sculpted fuel tank, reminiscent of Yezdi’s design-first heritage.
	
	
		
			Shadow Black edition: A true stealth aesthetic achieved by eliminating chrome and silver finishes across the motorcycle.
	



	 


	The ‘Born Out of Line’ Yezdi Roadster from Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles has won the “Bike Design of the Year” award from car&amp;bike, adding another major recognition to the motorcycle’s growing list of honours. Earlier this year, the Roadster was also named the “Best 350cc Motorcycle” at the Zee Media Auto Awards. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Yezdi Roadster wins ‘Bike Design of the Year 2026’ award at car&amp;bike awards 2026


	 


	Boman Irani, Co-founder of Classic Legends, received the award from renowned automotive designer Thomas Dal, Dean of Strate School of Design India. The honour recognises the Roadster’s bold reinterpretation of the classic roadster with a ‘Born Out of Line’ design built around a planted silhouette, muscular proportions and modular versatility.


	 


	The company’s design-first approach pushed the Yezdi Roadster beyond predictable retro templates. Designed to be long, low, planted, and unapologetically defiant, the motorcycle blends the stance of a cruiser with the ergonomics and everyday usability of a roadster. The 12.5-litre sculpted fuel tank is a nod to Yezdi’s decades-long visual lineage and reinforces the motorcycle’s muscular road presence. With the liquid-cooled 350cc Alpha2, first-in-segment 6-speed gearbox, and assist &amp; slipper clutch under the hood, the Roadster design also keeps rider-comfort front and centre: It boasts an accessible seat height, ample ground clearance, and relaxed ergonomics.


	
	Boman Irani, co-founder of Classic Legends, said, “Recognition from car&amp;bike carries weight, especially when it comes to design. The Yezdi Roadster was created by deliberately rethinking classic proportions while staying true to Yezdi’s rebellious character, a philosophy that’s defined the brand since the 1970s. As the only India-born classic motorcycle marque, Yezdi has always challenged the mould. The Roadster reflects that spirit. Its design can shift effortlessly from the stealthy modern Shadow Black to the retro Red Wolf. That versatility is exactly what we set out to achieve.”


	
	The standout design innovation was the Yezdi Roadster’s modular seating, which allows riders to switch between a single-seat bobber setup and a dual-seat touring configuration in minutes, without compromising aesthetics. The design team engineered the rear section so that when the pillion seat is removed, the motorcycle retains a clean, finished bobber look with no exposed bolts, an area where many modular cruiser designs fall short. 


	
	Akhilesh Manchandani, Head, Concept Design, Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles, said, “The design brief was simple to say but challenging to execute: Building a motorcycle that feels rebellious and planted, yet stays practical for everyday riding. The modular rear seat was the toughest piece of the puzzle. Whether running solo as a bobber or with a pillion, the Yezdi Roadster looks clean and finished. This award is a recognition of such attention to detail and the team’s effort to push classic motorcycle design a little further.”


	
	Yezdi Roadster’s key design elements:


	 


	
		
			Standout cruiser-inspired stance: A long, planted silhouette that delivers the visual drama of a cruiser while maintaining comfortable roadster ergonomics for everyday riding. 
	
	
		
			Sculpted heritage fuel tank: A reinterpreted teardrop tank , with the Parsi Faravahar insignia anchors the motorcycle visually while linking it to the brand’s historic design language. 
	
	
		
			Wide rear stance: A redesigned rear section with one of the widest rear tyres in the segment, giving the motorcycle its planted look and commanding road presence. 
	
	
		
			Chopped rear fender: A tight, tyre-hugging rear fender that enhances the low-slung profile and, when paired with a single seat, delivers a clean bobber-like aesthetic. 
	



	
	The award-winning design principle is also reflected in the Shadow Black edition, one of the Roadster’s most sought-after variants. Rather than simply blacking out visible parts, the design team focused on achieving a true all-black aesthetic, carefully eliminating chrome and silver elements across the motorcycle, down to small details like fuel caps and hardware finishes. The result is an ultramodern stealth look rarely achieved in the category, where many motorcycles still retain exposed metallic elements.


	
	With its muscular proportions, thoughtful modularity and fearless attention to detail, the Yezdi Roadster proves that classic motorcycles can still surprise, and that design innovation often lies in how a machine’s stance, proportions and usability come together. The ‘Born Out of Line’ motorcycle channels Yezdi’s bold and wild personality by allowing riders to shape the motorcycle around their personality and is available from Rs. 196,000 (Ex-showroom) upwards at authorised dealerships across the country.


	 


	Ownership Assurance Programme for every rider
	The Yezdi Roadster is supported by Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles’ industry-first Ownership Assurance Programme, prioritising customer satisfaction and hassle-free ownership. It includes:


	 


	
		
			4-year/50,000-km standard warranty*
	
	
		
			Extended warranty options for up to 6 years*
	
	
		
			Up to 8 years of roadside assistance*
	
	
		
			Up to 5 years AMC with nationwide coverage*
	
	
		
			Comprehensive ownership benefits across 450+ sales and service touchpoints nationwide
	



	 


	*Conditions apply.


	
	About Classic Legends Pvt. Ltd
	Classic Legends Pvt. Ltd. was founded with a vision to reintroduce iconic motorcycle brands in India &amp; international markets. The company currently boasts an elaborate portfolio constituting Jawa, Yezdi &amp; BSA marquee brands.

<description><![CDATA[ Bajaj Finance, one of India’s most trusted non-banking financial companies, is making it easier than ever for individuals to access funds through its range of personal loan offerings. Tailored for both salaried and self-employed borrowers, these loans combine favourable interest rates with adaptable repayment structures, ensuring that financial goals remain within reach regardless of the circumstances.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan


	
	From planned milestones such as weddings and overseas travel to unplanned situations like medical emergencies, a personal loan from Bajaj Finance offers a dependable and swift financial lifeline. With end-to-end digital processing and a customer-first approach, the borrowing experience is designed to be seamless from start to finish.


	
	Affordable rates that put customers first
	A standout feature of the Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan is its competitive interest rate framework. Rates are calibrated to keep total borrowing costs low, giving customers clarity on their repayment obligations from day one.


	
	The applicable interest rate is assessed based on a combination of factors such as the applicant’s income level, employment category, CIBIL score, repayment history, and existing liabilities. Borrowers with a healthy credit profile and steady income stand to gain the most competitive rates, maximising long-term savings.


	
	Repayment flexibility
	Recognising that no two borrowers are alike, Bajaj Finance provides repayment tenures spanning 12 months to 96 months. This flexibility allows customers to calibrate their EMIs to fit their monthly cash flow, helping them avoid financial pressure while meeting repayment commitments.


	
	Selecting the right tenure is central to maintaining a sustainable repayment rhythm. A longer tenure lowers the monthly instalment, while a shorter one reduces the overall interest outgo, giving borrowers the power to decide what works best for their specific situation.


	
	Substantial loan amounts to match every aspiration
	Personal loans from Bajaj Finance are available from Rs. 40,000 up to Rs. 55 lakh, ensuring that customers can address both modest requirements and significant financial commitments with equal ease. Whether managing short-term cash flow gaps or funding a landmark event, the right amount is always available for eligible applicants.


	
	A streamlined digital application, from approval to disbursal in hours
	Bajaj Finance has engineered a fully digital application journey that eliminates the friction typically associated with loan processing. Applicants simply submit their basic personal and financial details online, after which verification is carried out swiftly. In most cases, approved funds are credited within 24 hours*, enabling customers to act on their financial needs without delay.


	
	Collateral-free: Borrow without pledging assets
	As an unsecured lending product, Bajaj Finserv Personal Loans require no collateral or guarantor. This removes a significant barrier for many borrowers, simplifying the documentation process and enabling faster disbursals. Customers can access the credit they need purely on the strength of their financial profile.


	
	Who can apply? Eligibility at a glance
	Bajaj Finance welcomes applications from eligible Indian residents meeting the following criteria:


	
		
			Nationality: Indian citizen
	
	
		
			Age: 21 to 80 years* 
	
	
		
			Employed with: Public, private, or MNC.
	
	
		
			CIBIL Score: 650 or above
	
	
		
			Customer profile: Self-employed or Salaried
	



	 


	*Customers should be 80 years* or younger, at the end of the loan tenure.


	
	Uses of a Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan
	Bajaj Finserv Personal Loans can be used for various personal expenses, such as:


	
		
			Medical and Healthcare Costs: Cover hospitalisation, treatment procedures, and post-recovery expenses swiftly, without drawing on savings.
	
	
		
			Weddings and Celebrations: Finance venue bookings, catering, travel arrangements, and event décor for family milestones without disrupting existing savings.
	
	
		
			Travel and Experiences: Plan domestic or international journeys and repay at leisure through structured instalments.
	
	
		
			Home Improvement Projects: Fund renovation, repair, or interior upgrades to create a comfortable and upgraded living space .
	
	
		
			Education and Career Development: Invest in academic programmes, professional certifications, or skill-building courses to accelerate career growth.
	



	 


	Bajaj Finance continues to set the benchmark in personal lending, combining low-cost borrowing with the speed and simplicity that modern customers expect. Through competitive interest rates, generous loan amounts, and a frictionless application experience, the company empowers individuals across India to pursue their financial goals on their own terms.

The collaboration is designed to directly address the &#039;silent revenue killer&#039; faced by D2C brands: the significant leakage caused by checkout drop-offs, payment failures, and conversion inefficiencies in the final moments of purchase.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	PayU and GoKwik Strategic Partnership

This partnership introduces an integrated commerce layer that combines GoKwik’s conversion intelligence with PayU’s robust, scalable payments infrastructure, moving D2C brands beyond fragmented solutions to solve these challenges at scale.


	 


	“Across the D2C ecosystem, the demand from founders is clear: they need integrated solutions that solve for payment reliability and checkout conversion in one cohesive layer. This isn’t a hypothetical challenge; it&#039;s a measurable drain on potential revenue”, Vineet Sethi, Chief Growth and Marketing officer, PayU. The coming together of PayU’s deep payments expertise and GoKwik’s category-leading conversion intelligence is a direct response to this merchant need. It’s about creating the kind of continuous, high-success experience that is non-negotiable for any brand aiming to move from early traction to major scale”.


	 


	“GoKwik has set the industry standard for D2C conversion and checkout optimization. Our partnership with PayU is a strategic and natural evolution of that commitment”, said Chirag Taneja, CEO - GoKwik. “By tightly integrating our intelligence with PayU&#039;s robust payments infrastructure, we are extending the impact of our platform to ensure a seamless, high-success-rate payments experience. This is about delivering the final, critical piece of the puzzle, enabling our merchants to unlock the next level of growth with total confidence and zero friction.&quot;


	 


	“I’m incredibly excited about this partnership in action. With GoKwik and PayU both now a seamless part of our commerce journey, the difference has been immediate and quantifiable,” says Ganesh Sonawane, Founder - Frido. “GoKwik&#039;s conversion intelligence gets customers ready, and PayU’s reliability ensures they complete the transaction without friction. Since integrating this stack, we have seen an encouraging conversion lift and a massive boost in transaction success rates. This is the integrated solution the D2C market needed to move from great growth to sustainable scale”.


	 


	For D2C merchants, this collaboration signifies the shift away from fragmented point solutions. It delivers a truly cohesive commerce experience, drastically reducing checkout-to-payment drop-offs and improving success rates; allowing brands to shift their focus from operational complexity to pure growth. This integrated approach is key to simplifying the commerce stack and supporting the sustainable scaling of the next generation of digital-first Indian brands.

<title>What Is the Best Eco&#45;Friendly Refrigerator to Buy This Summer?</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/what-is-the-best-eco-friendly-refrigerator-to-buy-this-summer</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/what-is-the-best-eco-friendly-refrigerator-to-buy-this-summer</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ During summer, refrigerators work harder than usual. Rising temperatures and frequent door opening — whether to grab a cold drink or store leftovers — put extra pressure on the appliance. An eco-friendly refrigerator is designed to handle this better, consuming less energy and using eco-friendly refrigerants without compromising on cooling. Brands like Haier, LG, and Samsung offer a solid range of options for those looking to upgrade.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Upgrade to a new refrigerator this season with the Bajaj Finserv Easy EMI Loan


	
	The good news is that upgrading doesn&#039;t have to mean a large one-time expense. The Bajaj Finserv Summer Sale makes it more affordable, with Easy EMI Loan of up to Rs. 5 lakh, seasonal discounts, and zero down payment on select models. Shoppers can head to their nearest Bajaj Finserv partner store — including Vijay Sales and Croma — to avail the financing options and take their new refrigerator home the same day.


	
	Why eco-friendly refrigerators are worth considering?
	The BEE star rating is a reliable indicator of energy efficiency — the higher the rating, the lower the power consumption. Since a refrigerator runs 24/7 and is opened frequently, a higher-rated model can meaningfully reduce long-term electricity costs. Selecting the right capacity is equally important, as an oversized or undersized fridge consumes more energy than necessary.


	
	Top eco-friendly refrigerators available in March 2026
	Shoppers can compare features, capacity, and type on Bajaj Mall before visiting a nearby partner store to finalise the purchase.

			Choose an EMI plan: Financing of up to Rs. 5 lakh is available through the Bajaj Finserv Insta EMI Card or Easy EMI Loan, with zero down payment on select models and tenures ranging from 1 to 60 months.
	
	
		
			Complete the purchase: Once approved, the transaction is processed instantly and the refrigerator can be taken home the same day.

<title>5 Common AC Buying Mistakes to Avoid This Summer (2026 Guide)</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/5-common-ac-buying-mistakes-to-avoid-this-summer-2026-guide</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/5-common-ac-buying-mistakes-to-avoid-this-summer-2026-guide</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Summer is here, and staying cool isn’t just a luxury—it is essential. Buying the right AC can make all the difference between a comfy, refreshing home and soaring electricity bills. Before you rush into a purchase, it helps to focus on practical needs rather than just discounts or looks. Brands like Voltas, Hitachi, LG, and Samsung offer a wide range of ACs, but choosing the wrong model can cost you in comfort and efficiency.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Make buying your AC simple and budget-friendly with a Bajaj Finserv Easy EMI Loan


	
	The good news is that buying a new AC doesn’t have to strain your budget. With Bajaj Finserv Easy EMI loan, you can spread the cost of up to Rs. 5 lakh into manageable monthly instalments. Many models are available with zero down payment, making upgrades more accessible. Plus, during the Bajaj Finserv Summer Sale, you can explore a wide range of options at attractive prices.


	
	How the wrong AC choice affects comfort and bills


	
	Buying an AC without checking the right specs can lead to:


	
		
			High electricity bills
	
	
		
			Uneven cooling
	
	
		
			Frequent breakdowns
	



	 


	Avoid these common mistakes to make a smart, energy-efficient choice.


	 


	1. Picking the wrong AC size


	 


	
		
			Too small: Runs constantly, struggles to cool, wastes energy.
	
	
		
			Too large: Cools unevenly and consumes extra electricity.
	



	 


	Always match AC capacity (tonnage) to your room size.


	 


	2. Ignoring Energy Star Ratings
	Price matters, but so does efficiency. Higher BEE star-rated ACs cost more upfront but save significantly on electricity over time.


	 


	3. Overlooking Inverter Technology
	Non-inverter ACs frequently switch on/off, consuming more power. Inverter ACs adjust compressor speed, making them quieter, faster, and energy-efficient.


	 


	4. Forgetting installation costs
	Split ACs require professional installation, brackets, copper piping, and sometimes stabilizers. Include these costs in your budget.


	 


	5. Ignoring room conditions


	
		
			Direct sunlight, high ceilings, poor insulation, and number of occupants affect cooling.
	
	
		
			Don’t choose an AC based only on square footage—consider room environment too.
	



	 


	6. Skipping maintenance planning: Check service availability locally. Regular servicing ensures long-term performance and reliability.


	 


	7. Prioritising looks over performance: Sleek design is nice, but cooling efficiency, warranty, after-sales support, and spare part availability matter more.

<title>How to Plan Investments After Receiving a Bonus, Inheritance, or Asset Sale</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-plan-investments-after-receiving-a-bonus-inheritance-or-asset-sale</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Receiving a sudden windfall—be it a year-end bonus, family inheritance, or proceeds from selling an asset—may nudge an investor to review their financial strategy. By investing this surplus money, one can potentially enhance their corpus and earn higher potential returns. This article walks you through ways in which you may plan your investments after receiving a lumpsum and how a lumpsum calculator may aid this process. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	How to Plan Investments After Receiving a Bonus, Inheritance, or Asset Sale


	
	Assess the surplus
	Before diving into investments, pause to evaluate the funds at hand. Calculate your net amount after taxes and essentials: bonuses may attract TDS, inheritances may involve probate fees or estate duties, and asset sales may trigger capital gains tax. Investors may use part of the windfall to build an emergency fund covering 6-12 months&#039; expenses through an overnight or liquid mutual fund to have convenient access to their money. They may also use some money to pay off high-interest debts such as credit cards. After this, the remaining sum could then be allocated strategically to align with their long-term financial objectives.


	
	Lumpsum vs SIP: Core strategies
	Deploying a windfall may demand choosing between lumpsum investing and SIP investment routes, each suiting different risk profiles and market views. A lumpsum calculator may be of help here—it simulates growth potential by inputting your bonus amount, expected rate of annual return, and time horizon of the investment. Investors may use free lumpsum calculators to assess various scenarios.


	
	SIP investment, conversely, involves dividing the sum into monthly/quarterly instalments, mitigating timing risk via rupee-cost averaging. Investors could also adopt a hybrid approach by investing 50% of the surplus as lumpsum and the rest in an SIP.


	
	Use a lumpsum calculator for precision
	A lumpsum calculator helps demystify one-shot investing by projecting the potential projecting future using the compound interest formula:
	A = P X (1+r)^n


	
	Where:


	
		
			A = Final value of investment
	
	
		
			P = Initial investment amount (Principal)
	
	
		
			r = Annualized rate of return (in decimal, e.g., 10% = 0.10)
	
	
		
			n = Number of years
	



	
	For example, if you invest Rs. 1,00,000 in a fund for five years and expected returns of 12% per annum.


	
	A = 1,00,000 × (1+0.12)^5
	A = 1,00,000 X 1.76
	A = Rs. 1.76 lakh


	
	Example for illustrative purposes only.


	
	These figures are illustrative, not guaranteed, as markets fluctuate. However, the tool may help investors take data-driven and more informed decisions. 


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture. 


	
	Practical steps 
	Here are steps you may follow when investing an extra inflow of money. 


	
	1. Define goals: Retirement? Children&#039;s education? You may list timelines and required corpus via goal-based calculators.
	2. Run simulations: You may use lumpsum and SIP calculators to review various scenarios.
	3. Invest: You may choose funds and an allocation strategy that aligns with your investment objectives and risk appetite.
	4. Review annually: It is advised to review and rebalance investments regularly to maintain a suitable asset mix.
	5. Seek advice: You may consult professional advisers for personalised plans and further guidance.


	
	Conclusion
	Receiving a windfall through a bonus, inheritance, or asset sale may mark a moment of investment reassessment in an investor’s journey. Thoughtful deployment of these extra funds may help you enhance your potential corpus.

<title>How investors can use a CAGR calculator to understand portfolio performance over time</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-investors-can-use-a-cagr-calculator-to-understand-portfolio-performance-over-time</link>

<description><![CDATA[ When reviewing long-term investments, investors might encounter multiple return metrics that appear similar but convey different information. For example, absolute returns describe total growth, while annual return reflects performance in a specific year. In this context, a CAGR or Compound Annual Growth Rate, may be commonly referenced as a way to express long-term portfolio growth in an annualised form.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	How investors can use a CAGR calculator to understand portfolio performance over time


	 


	For investments held over several years, this measure may help place potential outcomes in perspective rather than focusing on isolated periods. A CAGR calculator can help with estimating the returns earned on an investment. Understanding what a CAGR calculator reflects, and what it ignores, may help investors interpret portfolio results with relatively more clarity.


	 


	What CAGR represents in portfolio analysis


	CAGR, or Compound Annual Growth Rate, represents the annualised rate at which an investment’s value grew over a defined period, assuming all returns were reinvested.


	 


	CAGR does not represent interim volatility, instead it shows the returns as a single annualised figure – the steady rate at which an investment would have theoretically grown year on year to arrive at the final amount. In reality, a portfolio may experience uneven gains and declines during the investment period yet still show a positive CAGR if the final value is higher than the starting value. In this sense, CAGR summarises the outcome rather than the actual return path.


	 


	This makes CAGR suitable for a quick assessment of a portfolios long-term performance, rather than a granular view of day-to-day volatility.


	 


	Why CAGR is commonly used for long-term portfolios


	Over extended horizons, portfolio performance may be influenced by market cycles, economic changes, and shifts in sentiment. Year-on-year returns may therefore vary. A CAGR condenses this variability into a single annualised figure, which may be relatively easy to interpret across longer periods.


	 


	For mutual funds, performance communication often relies on CAGR because investors enter and exit schemes at different points. CAGR allows historical performance to be presented without assuming identical investment dates or cash-flow patterns. For this reason, CAGR is treated as a reporting metric rather than an indicator of future potential results.


	 


	It is important to note that CAGR reflects only starting and ending values. It does not capture interim drawdowns, recovery phases, or periods of stagnation.


	 


	Past performance may or may not be sustained in the future.


	 


	How a CAGR calculator works


	A CAGR calculator typically requires three inputs:


	
		
			the initial investment value
	
	
		
			the final investment value
	
	
		
			the investment duration in years
	



	 


	Using these inputs, the calculator applies a mathematical formula to compute the annualised growth rate:


	CAGR = (Ending Value / Beginning Value)^(1/n) − 1


	Where:


	Beginning Value = initial investment amount


	 


	Ending Value = value of the investment at the end of the period


	 


	n = number of years the investment is held


	 


	The result is typically expressed as a percentage by multiplying the outcome by 100.


	 


	For example, if an investment grows from Rs. 4,00,000 to Rs. 6,80,000 over a period of 7 years, the CAGR is calculated as:


	 


	CAGR = (6,80,000 / 4,00,000)^(1/7) − 1


	 


	This results in an approximate CAGR of 7.9% per annum, indicating that the investment’s value increased at an average annualised rate of about 7.9% over the seven-year period.


	 


	Example for illustrative purposes only. The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Interpreting CAGR alongside other measures


	Although widely referenced, a CAGR calculator does not present a complete picture of portfolio behaviour. CAGR assumes a smooth growth trajectory, which may not reflect actual market movements. As a result, CAGR figures may be viewed alongside other measures such as rolling returns and risk-adjusted return metrics such as beta, standard deviation, information ratio and Sharpe ratio.


	 


	In mutual funds, two schemes may report the same CAGR, even though Fund A experienced sharp interim declines and Fund B saw relatively steady performance. This highlights why it is advised to interpret CAGR as a summary measure rather than a standalone assessment.


	 


	Using a CAGR calculator for comparisons


	One relatively common application of a CAGR calculator is comparing portfolio outcomes across timeframes or strategies. By converting cumulative growth into an annualised rate, CAGR offers a common reference point.


	 


	Portfolios with different investment amounts or durations may still be assessed once CAGR is applied. However, such comparisons depend on consistent assumptions, as a CAGR calculator does not adjust for differences in risk, volatility, or liquidity.


	 


	Limitations to keep in mind


	While useful, a CAGR calculator has certain limitations. It does not reflect the sequence of returns, assumes reinvestment at a uniform implied rate, does not account for volatility or drawdowns, and may mask periods of underperformance.


	 


	For portfolios built through staggered investments, such as Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs), CAGR may not fully represent individual cash-flow timing. In such cases, other measures, such as XIRR, may be referenced for added context.


	 


	Conclusion


	A CAGR calculator is used for summarising portfolio performance over extended periods. By expressing growth as an annualised rate, it may help investors compare outcomes across different timeframes and investment approaches. When viewed alongside other performance measures and with knowledge of its potential assumptions, a CAGR calculator may help in understanding how a portfolio has evolved over time, without implying certainty about potential future results.

<title>Balancing Growth and Income: Linking SIP Investments with a Systematic Withdrawal Plan</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/balancing-growth-and-income-linking-sip-investments-with-a-systematic-withdrawal-plan</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/balancing-growth-and-income-linking-sip-investments-with-a-systematic-withdrawal-plan</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A long-term investment journey may typically involve two distinct phases: accumulation and distribution. During the accumulation stage, investors may contribute regularly to build a potential corpus. Later, that accumulated amount may serve as a potential source of periodic income. A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) is commonly associated with the first phase, while a Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator becomes relevant when evaluating the second.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	An SIP facilitates regular investing, while an SWP enables regular withdrawals from your mutual fund scheme


	
	Understanding how these two stages connect may help frame the broader lifecycle of mutual fund investing in India.


	
	From accumulation to distribution
	A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows investors to invest fixed amounts at regular intervals into mutual fund schemes. Over time, these contributions and assumed potential returns interact under compounding principles, contributing to potential growth of the invested corpus.


	
	Once a sufficient potential corpus is accumulated, investors may consider structured withdrawals instead of redeeming the entire investment at once. A Systematic Withdrawal Plan (SWP) permits periodic withdrawals of a fixed amount from a mutual fund scheme while the remaining balance continues to stay invested.


	
	In this transition from potential growth to income, a Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator serves as an estimation tool. It helps project how long a corpus might sustain periodic potential withdrawals under selected assumptions.


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	
	How a Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator works
	A Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator typically requires the following inputs:


	
		
			Total investment amount or accumulated corpus.
	
	
		
			Withdrawal amount per interval.
	
	
		
			Assumed rate of return.
	



	
	Based on these inputs, the calculator estimates how the corpus may decline or sustain itself over time after periodic withdrawals. In the Indian mutual fund framework, withdrawals under an SWP are treated as redemptions of units. Each withdrawal reduces the number of units held, while the remaining units continue to participate in market-linked movements.


	
	The projection generated by a Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator reflects potential outcomes derived from constant return assumptions. Since actual market performance may fluctuate, these projections remain illustrative rather than predictive.


	
	Balancing withdrawal and potential growth
	When linking an SIP with a withdrawal strategy, the relationship between contribution phase and income phase becomes central. The size of the potential corpus built during the accumulation stage can directly influence the sustainability of future withdrawals.


	
	A Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator allows investors to evaluate how different withdrawal amounts may affect the longevity of the potential corpus. Higher withdrawal levels may reduce the duration for which the corpus sustains income, while moderate withdrawals may allow the remaining balance to continue generating potential growth for a longer period.
	Because potential returns in mutual funds are market-linked, the sustainability of withdrawals depends on the interplay between the potential withdrawal rate and assumed return rate. The calculator helps visualise this interaction within a structured model. Although, these calculations remain illustrative and not predictive. 


	
	Understanding the role of assumed returns
	The assumed annual return entered into a Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator significantly influences the projections. If the assumed return rate exceeds the withdrawal rate over time, the potential corpus may sustain withdrawals over the long term. If potential withdrawals exceed assumed returns, the potential corpus may reduce relatively rapidly.


	
	These projections are based on constant growth assumptions. For this reason, projections are typically interpreted as scenario illustrations rather than assurances.


	
	Linking SIP accumulation with withdrawal planning
	The transition from a Systematic Investment Plan to periodic withdrawals represents a shift in financial objectives. During the accumulation phase, the focus is on building potential growth. During the withdrawal phase, it shifts toward generating periodic income while ensuring relative stability of capital.


	
	A Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator helps bridge these stages by showing how the accumulated corpus from a Systematic Investment Plan might support regular withdrawals under selected assumptions. By adjusting withdrawal amounts or return expectations, investors may observe how projected sustainability changes across scenarios. This may help bring about awareness of trade-offs between income requirements and the potential longevity of the corpus.


	
	Recognising structural limitations
	While a Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator offers a numerical projection, it operates on simplified assumptions. It typically assumes a fixed rate of return and consistent withdrawals. In reality, market movements influence unit values, and withdrawal timing may affect realised outcomes.


	
	In India, mutual fund redemptions are also subject to applicable taxation and exit load structures, depending on scheme type and holding period. Such factors may not be reflected in basic calculator projections and may influence actual results.


	
	Conclusion
	A Systematic Investment Plan and a withdrawal strategy represent two interconnected stages of mutual fund investing. The accumulation phase focuses on building a potential corpus, while the distribution phase centres on generating potential periodic income.


	
	A Systematic Withdrawal Plan calculator provides a structured way to examine how potentially accumulated investments may translate into potential income streams over time. Although projections remain dependent on selected assumptions, they may help illustrate how growth-oriented investing and income-oriented withdrawals may connect within the mutual fund framework without implying certainty about future performance.

<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/enrich-money-launches-orca-chart-an-industry-first-advanced-charting-platform</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/enrich-money-launches-orca-chart-an-industry-first-advanced-charting-platform</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Enrich Money, a SEBI-registered online trading and wealth-tech firm, has announced the launch of its fully in-house, India-built advanced stock charting platform, ORCA Chart, developed entirely by its internal technology and R&amp;D team. Designed to meet the evolving needs of traders and investors, ORCA Chart offers unrestricted access to all predefined and premium technical indicators at no additional cost, delivering institutional-grade analytical capabilities to retail participants.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Ponmudi R, CEO - Enrich Money


	
	A key industry-first innovation is the “Share Chart” feature, a real-time collaborative charting capability that allows users to draw trendlines, add analytical notes, and publish structured market views directly on a live chart. Unlike static screenshots that require repeated resharing, Share Chart enables multiple users across locations to view and engage on the same live chart simultaneously, creating a seamless, interactive, social-media-like analytical environment. By encouraging transparent, logic-based analysis and community learning, ORCA Chart aims to reduce dependency on unverified tips and speculative market predictions, fostering a more disciplined and education-driven trading ecosystem in India.


	
	Building on this collaborative innovation, Enrich Money has launched an integrated trading community that allows users to share charts, exchange ideas, and receive real-time feedback from fellow traders—directly within the platform.


	
	ORCA Chart is seamlessly integrated within ORCA, Enrich Money’s comprehensive all-in-one investment platform that brings together equities, F&amp;O, commodities, ETFs, bonds, IPOs, and mutual funds under a single unified framework.


	
	At a time when most stockbrokers in India rely on third-party charting solutions, Enrich Money stands among the select few to build and operate a fully in-house charting platform. This transition from fragmented external dependencies to a proprietary, India-built architecture enhances platform efficiency, lowers latency, and improves system stability—particularly during high-volatility and event-driven market sessions.


	
	“Indian traders deserve technology that evolves at the speed of the markets,” said Ponmudi R, Founder &amp; CEO, Enrich Money. “With ORCA, we have built a fully in-house, India-engineered ecosystem that combines speed, intelligence, and collaboration. By eliminating third-party dependencies and integrating AI-driven insights with real-time execution, we are empowering traders with greater control, deeper market understanding, and a platform truly aligned with India’s unique market dynamics.”


	
	Built entirely in India, the integrated technology stack unifies charting, real-time market data streaming, advanced analytics, AI-driven intelligence, onboarding, and trader collaboration into a single high-performance ecosystem engineered for speed, control, scalability, and reliability across asset classes.


	
	Designed from the ground up for rapid rendering and precision execution, ORCA’s proprietary charting engine supports advanced technical studies with exceptional speed and accuracy. The platform also features Scalper Mode, enabling one-click trade execution directly from the charts and eliminating the delays commonly associated with external charting engines—thereby improving decision-making speed and execution efficiency for active traders.


	
	ORCA is Enrich Money’s most advanced AI-driven investment platform, powered by intelligent engines that continuously monitor price action, volatility, and news triggers. By delivering real-time market insights and instant alerts on key movements, the platform enables traders to respond swiftly and confidently to evolving market conditions.


	
	The platform also introduced an AI-driven Strategy Builder, designed to help traders create, test, and refine trading and options strategies using real-time, data-driven outputs. This empowers users to move from idea generation to structured execution with greater precision and confidence. In addition, ORCA offers AI-based fundamental analysis that simplifies complex financial data into clear, decision-ready insights—helping investors evaluate opportunities with clarity and speed.
	Further enhancing the user experience, the platform features an AI-driven KYC workflow that enables fast, fully digital account opening within just two minutes, while remaining fully aligned with SEBI compliance requirements. Last year, Enrich Money became the first distributor in India to introduce mutual fund SIPs starting at just INR 10 on its ORCA App—democratizing access to disciplined investing at an unprecedented scale. Unlike platforms that restrict INR 10 SIPs to select in-house offerings, Enrich Money enables investors to start with just INR 10 across multiple mutual fund AMCs through ONDC integration.


	
	This pioneering initiative has significantly lowered the entry barrier to wealth creation, bringing mutual fund investing within reach of millions—particularly in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and among first-time investors. By combining accessibility, technology, and choice, Enrich Money continues to empower a new generation of Indians to take meaningful steps toward achieving their financial goals and aspirations. (ENDs) 


	
	About Enrich Money

<title>Visualising the Power of Reinvestment: What Happens When Earnings are not Withdrawn</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/visualising-the-power-of-reinvestment-what-happens-when-earnings-are-not-withdrawn</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/visualising-the-power-of-reinvestment-what-happens-when-earnings-are-not-withdrawn</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When potential earnings are generated in long-term investing, an investor has two options: withdraw them or reinvest them. This decision may be shaped by one’s changing income levels, liquidity needs, and evolving financial priorities. However, over time, this can impact how an investment develops.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	A compound interest calculator helps you visualize the power of compounding


	
	A compound interest calculator offers a structured way to examine this behaviour. By placing reinvestment and withdrawal scenarios side by side, it helps illustrate how potential outcomes may differ as time progresses. 


	
	This approach may support understanding of how reinvestment interacts with time in a long-term investing context. Such tools may be used for comparison and illustration and not for predicting potential conclusions.


	
	Reinvestment as a repeated choice
	Reinvestment refers to allowing interest, dividends, or gains to remain invested instead of being withdrawn. In the short-term, this choice may not appear to alter much. Over longer periods, however, its influence may become more noticeable with each reinvestment cycle. This process may be particularly relevant in market-linked investments, where potential returns are uneven and distributed across cycles.


	 
	Compounding has the potential to be more effective when investments remain invested for longer durations. Discussion around compounding may revolve around consistency and on how it functions across extended periods, rather than on frequent action. 
	Visualising reinvestment using a compound interest calculator.


	
	Because compounding unfolds gradually, its effects may not be intuitive. A compound interest calculator may help translate this process into comparable figures.


	
	For example, when earnings are withdrawn periodically, the investment may have less capital available for compounding, which can limit long-term growth. When earnings are reinvested instead, the base amount increases over time, allowing compounding to potentially accelerate the growth trajectory. Comparing these scenarios could help investors observe how reinvestment could influence potential outcomes, even when calculation assumptions remain unchanged.


	
	Actual results may vary from the calculations as they’re only illustrative and not conclusive. Instead, they provide a way to explore how different behavioural choices may interact with time. 


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture. 


	
	The power of compounding
	The power of compounding describes how potential earnings, when retained, may generate additional potential income over time. As this process repeats, its effect might become more visible across longer periods, particularly when reinvestment remains uninterrupted.


	
	In investment discussions, the power of compounding may commonly be associated with:


	 


	
		
			Long-term equity investments.
	
	
		
			Retirement-focused planning.
	
	
		
			Regular investment approaches that place importance on discipline.
	



	
	These associations arise because time and consistency play a central role in compounding. However, compounding does not operate independently of potential risk or market variability.


	
	Compounding neither reduces uncertainty nor guarantee favourable outcomes. Market-linked investments remain subject to risks. However, the power of compounding gives investments the potential to grow significantly in the long run. 


	
	How withdrawals influence the pattern
	When potential earnings are withdrawn, part of the compounding process is interrupted. This does not suggest that withdrawals are inappropriate, as individual financial needs may vary across life stages. From a numerical perspective, however, withdrawals reduce the potential amount that remains available for future compounding.


	
	A compound interest calculator may help compare scenarios with and without withdrawals. Over extended periods, even relatively modest interruptions may lead to noticeably different outcomes. These differences may become relatively clearer when viewed across longer horizons rather than shorter intervals.


	
	The impact of withdrawals is therefore less about timing individual decisions and more about how frequently the compounding process is allowed to continue uninterrupted.


	
	Conclusion
	Reinvestment does not imply certainty of potential results. It represents a framework shaped by time, behaviour, and potential expectations. By understanding the power of compounding and using a compound interest calculator to visualise different scenarios, investors may gain insight into how repeated decisions might potentially accumulate over long horizons.


	
	In some cases, the decision to reinvest may not feel significant at the moment it is made. Over longer periods, its effects may become more visible as potential outcomes gradually take shape, without requiring relatively frequent intervention.


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>Stable Money Leads Gold &amp;amp; Silver ETF Surge on ONDC as Investors Turn to Safe, Regulated Products</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/stable-money-leads-gold-silver-etf-surge-on-ondc-as-investors-turn-to-safe-regulated-products</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/stable-money-leads-gold-silver-etf-surge-on-ondc-as-investors-turn-to-safe-regulated-products</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As gold and silver prices trade near recent highs, wealthtech platform Stable Money is seeing record transaction volumes in precious metal ETFs, driven by growing investor demand for safe, transparent, and SEBI-regulated investment options. This momentum is reinforced by Stable Money’s leadership on the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), where it drives over 95% of all mutual fund transactions on the network. This position reflects strong investor trust built through early ONDC integration, a focus on regulated products, and a seamless user experience.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Stable Money x ONDC
	 


	The surge comes at a time when market uncertainty is pushing more Indians towards regulated gold and silver exposure through exchange-traded funds, moving away from physical holdings or unregulated alternatives.
	 


	Stable Money operates on ONDC, an open digital infrastructure that enables platforms to reach investors across the country without being locked into closed ecosystems. By leveraging ONDC&#039;s interoperable network, Stable Money offers seamless access to SEBI-regulated mutual funds and ETFs - making it easier for investors to access trusted financial products. This alignment reflects a shared vision: democratising access to regulated investments through open, transparent infrastructure.
	 


	With precious metal prices hovering near multi-year highs and ongoing global economic uncertainty, investors are increasingly favouring SEBI-regulated gold and silver ETFs for their transparency, ease of access, and regulatory oversight. Stable Money has recorded its highest monthly transaction volumes in these asset classes, reflecting a clear shift in investor preference toward products they can trust. ONDC saw nearly 1,50,000 transactions in Jan ‘26, closing at an AUM of INR 72 Crores.
	 


	&quot;When markets are uncertain, investors want products and platforms they can trust - and the numbers show it. We&#039;re seeing our highest transaction volumes ever in gold and silver ETFs because people are choosing SEBI-regulated products over physical holdings or unregulated options. They want transparency, safety, and easy access all in one place. By operating on open infrastructure like ONDC and focusing exclusively on regulated investments, we&#039;re able to meet that demand at scale without locking investors into closed ecosystems,” said Saurabh Jain, Co-founder and CEO, Stable Money.
	 


	Hrushikesh Mehta, SVP - Financial Services at ONDC, said, “Stable Money’s activity on the ONDC Network reflects growing adoption of open, interoperable infrastructure within financial services. Participation at this scale indicates increasing maturity of network-led distribution models. It also points to broader access to regulated investment products across platforms. This represents an important phase in the evolution of open digital networks.”
	 


	This growing preference is clearly reflected across Stable Money’s 30 lakh-strong user base, where the platform has recorded its highest-ever transaction volumes in gold and silver ETFs. By leveraging open digital infrastructure such as ONDC and maintaining a focused approach on regulated investments, Stable Money is well-positioned to meet this demand at scale while keeping investor choice and trust at the core.
	 


	About Stable Money


	Stable Money is India’s leading fixed-income investment platform that enables individuals to earn stable and secure returns through fixed deposits, bonds via Stable Bonds, and other low-risk instruments. Founded in 2022, the platform has built a user base of over 30 lakh investors and facilitated more than Rs. 4,000 crore in investments with a simple, trusted, and transparent digital experience.

<description><![CDATA[ An individual’s income may evolve gradually across their working life, with salaries increasing through annual increments, promotions, or role transitions. As income rises, investors may also choose to increase their investments over time rather than keeping the same contribution level. A step-up Systematic Investment Plan or step-up SIP is designed around this idea. It allows an individual to increase their SIP contributions periodically, with the aim of aligning long-term investing with potential growth in earnings.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Step-up SIP: A step-up SIP allows you to increase your SIP contributions at regular intervals


	
	A step up SIP calculator could help provide a way to examine how incremental changes in SIP contributions may influence the overall investment journey.


	
	What a step-up SIP is designed to reflect
	An SIP allows you to invest in a mutual fund scheme in regular instalments – daily, weekly, monthly etc. A step-up SIP involves increasing the SIP contribution at predefined intervals (example, an annual 8% step-up). The increase is usually expressed as a percentage of the existing SIP amount. While salary growth may be frequently used as a reference point, the step-up itself remains a voluntary adjustment rather than an automatic one.


	
	A step-up does not alter the structure or risk profile of the underlying mutual fund scheme. The investment continues within the same scheme, following the same asset allocation and market exposure. The only variable that changes is the contribution amount, which affects the pace at which the capital is added over time.


	
	Exploring contribution paths using a step-up SIP calculator
	A step-up SIP calculator is a planning tool that helps estimate how your corpus may potentially grow if you increase your contribution by a fixed percentage each year. It typically requires you to enter your starting SIP amount, expected annual step-up rate, investment duration, and an assumed rate of return, and then calculates an illustrative future value based on compounding.


	
	Since future income changes and market performance cannot be predicted with certainty, the results shown are based on hypothetical scenarios and fixed return assumptions that may not play out in real life. For example, comparing a modest annual step-up rate with a higher one may show how contribution totals and estimated corpus values differ over longer periods. These illustrations do not guarantee outcomes, but may help visualise how small annual increases can accumulate gradually over time.


	
	Common uses of a step-up SIP calculator include:


	
		
			Observing how stepped contributions may accumulate relative to a flat SIP
	
	
		
			Comparing conservative and higher step-up percentages
	
	
		
			Understanding how contribution growth interacts with time and compounding
	



	
	Overall, the calculator should be viewed as an aid for comparison and planning rather than a precise prediction tool.


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	
	Linking step-ups to salary growth
	Salary growth is not always steady or predictable. In some years, increments may be significant, while in others, income may remain unchanged. Due to this variability, increasing SIP contributions strictly in line with salary hikes may not always be practical.


	
	Instead, step-ups may be considered after evaluating changes in expenses, savings goals, and liquidity requirements. Rather than mechanically matching salary growth, the decision to step up a SIP usually reflects how much additional surplus income an investor is able to allocate towards investments. A step-up SIP calculator may help explore this under different assumptions, including periods where step-ups are paused or reduced.


	
	Role of a mutual fund scheme
	While step-ups influence how much amount is invested, the behaviour of the investment depends on the selected mutual fund scheme and market conditions. Equity-oriented schemes may experience higher variability, while debt-oriented schemes potentially offer relatively stable outcomes. These attributes remain unchanged regardless of whether contributions are stepped up.


	
	As a result, step-up decisions are usually considered alongside factors such as investment horizon, risk tolerance, and the nature of the chosen mutual fund scheme, rather than as a standalone choice.


	
	Limits of step-up planning
	Step-up SIPs do not reduce market risk or volatility. Market-linked investments continue to be subject to fluctuations, and higher contributions do not change this underlying reality. Step-ups also do not ensure favourable results, as potential outcomes depend on multiple variables beyond contribution levels.


	
	Recognising these limits may help keep realistic expectations. Step-ups are advised to be viewed as a way to adjust contribution behaviour, not as a mechanism to influence potential market performance.


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>5 Things to Check Before Applying for an Instant Personal Loan</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/5-things-to-check-before-applying-for-an-instant-personal-loan</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/5-things-to-check-before-applying-for-an-instant-personal-loan</guid>
<description><![CDATA[  In today’s fast-paced world, financial needs can arise unexpectedly, making instant personal loans a convenient solution for many. However, before applying, it is crucial for applicants to be well-informed to ensure they make the right decision. Experts recommend considering the following five key factors to make the most of a personal loan and avoid future financial strain.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan


	
	1. Eligibility criteria
	Before applying for an instant personal loan, it is essential to understand the eligibility requirements. Customers can apply for a Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan if they meet a few basic conditions, such as


	 


	
		
			Nationality: Indian
	
	
		
			Age: 21 years to 80 years*.
	
	
		
			Employed with: Public, private, or MNC.
	
	
		
			CIBIL Score: 650 or higher.
	
	
		
			Customer profile: Self-employed or salaried
	



	
	*Applicants must be 80 years or younger, at the end of the loan tenure.


	
	2. Choose a reputed and trustworthy financial partner
	Selecting a reputed and trustworthy financial partner is essential when applying for an instant personal loan. A reliable institution ensures transparency, data security, and smooth service throughout the loan journey. Bajaj Finance Limited stands out for its strong customer-centric approach, offering quick approvals, funds disbursal within 24 hours*, and seamless digital processes. In addition, its extensive branch network and dedicated customer support provide both online and offline assistance, ensuring personalised service at every step. Choosing a trusted financial partner like Bajaj Finance helps customers enjoy a hassle-free borrowing experience, backed by reliable support and efficient service.


	
	3. Interest rates 
	With Bajaj Finance, customers can avail an instant personal loan with interest rates starting from 10% p.a.* This ensures affordable monthly repayments while providing timely financial support. Additionally, processing fees, which are usually a small percentage of the loan amount, should be considered. Understanding these costs beforehand helps borrowers plan their repayments efficiently and avoid surprises.


	
	4. Loan amount and repayment tenure
	With Bajaj Finance, customers can apply for an instant personal loan ranging from Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 55 lakh, with a repayment tenure of 12 months to 96 months. Funds can be disbursed within 24 hours*, providing quick access to financial support when needed. Using a personal loan EMI calculator, applicants can easily estimate monthly payments based on loan amount, tenure, and interest rate, helping them plan their finances effectively and achieve their objectives with ease.


	
	5. Terms and conditions
	Finally, reviewing the terms and conditions of the loan is indispensable. This includes prepayment charges, late payment penalties, and any hidden fees that could add to the cost. Understanding the fine print ensures transparency and helps borrowers avoid financial stress in the long run. 


	
	Conclusion
	An instant personal loan can provide a timely financial boost for various needs, including medical emergencies, home renovations, or travel plans. However, careful consideration of eligibility, interest rates, loan amount, and terms ensures a smooth borrowing experience. Using tools like a personal loan EMI calculator allows applicants to plan their repayments effectively, ensuring financial well-being while leveraging the convenience of instant loans.


	
	By taking these precautions, customers can confidently apply for a personal loan and achieve their goals without compromising their financial stability.


	
	*Terms and conditions apply

<title>Healthcare Emergencies Among Top Reasons for Urban Borrowing: Paisabazaar Research Study</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/healthcare-emergencies-among-top-reasons-for-urban-borrowing-paisabazaar-research-study</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/healthcare-emergencies-among-top-reasons-for-urban-borrowing-paisabazaar-research-study</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Medical emergencies are among the biggest reasons for taking a personal loan in urban India, reveals a consumer research report by Paisabazaar. 
	 


	According to “The Personal Loan Story” released by Paisabazaar, 11% borrowers in India took a personal loan to meet emergency healthcare and medical expenses, with the share rising to 14% in Tier 1. The same stood at 10% in Tier 2 and 8% in Tier 3. The insight clearly points to low health insurance penetration and rising medical costs leading to dependence on personal loans during medical emergencies.
	
	The report is based on in-depth interviews with 2889 personal loan borrowers across 23 cities and towns, offering insights into key borrowing triggers, preferences, decision drivers, and awareness levels across regions, city tiers, and age groups in India.
	
	Along with medical needs, borrowers cited essential day-to-day essential expenses, urgent home repairs, and wedding or celebratory events as the most common reasons for availing personal loans.
	 


	Key Highlights of the report


	
		
			Borrowing is no longer driven only by need. 48% took personal loans for essential requirements, while 36% borrowed to fund aspirations and 16% for business investments.
	
	
		
			Tier 3 borrowers are 2.4x more likely to borrow for daily needs than Tier 1 borrowers.
	
	
		
			Apart from self-employed borrowing for business investments, salaried individuals (9%) are also leveraging personal loans to fund family/side businesses or passion projects.
	
	
		
			Middle-income India is the most credit-active for aspirational led borrowing. Borrowers earning between Rs. 7.5 to 10 lakh annually show the highest lifestyle borrowing at 40%.
	
	
		
			Credit is being used for life events, with 11% of borrowers financing weddings and celebrations, led by Tier 1 cities at 14%.
	
	
		
			Despite the growth of online loans, many still rely on offline channels for borrowing. Only 32% availed personal loans online
	
	
		
			Impulse borrowing is becoming mainstream, with 25% of borrowers skipping evaluation of other credit alternatives, a behaviour most pronounced among Gen Z at 31%.
	



	 


	Santosh Agarwal, CEO, Paisabazaar, said, “Borrowing decisions today are shaped as much by life events, aspirations and urgency as by interest rates or eligibility. This study is our effort to move beyond transactional data and better understand the motivation and behaviour behind borrower decisions. As consumer behaviour evolves rapidly, it is becoming increasingly important for the ecosystem to understand these shifts and enable responsible, transparent and inclusive credit delivery.”


	
	The study also revealed that post-purchase experience was rated “good” or “very good” by a remarkable 91% of borrowers. Speed was the single strongest driver of satisfaction across both offline (58%) and online channels (57%), followed by simplified processes and less paperwork, reinforcing the premium consumers place on efficiency over form.
	 


	In terms of credit understanding, the report also shed light on how Indians, though majorly credit aware, are yet to grasp the full depth and breadth of credit intricacies. 98% knew what a credit score is, but only a mere 7% fully understood how it affected their loan approval and pricing.

<title>Understanding Mutual Funds as a Structured Investment Option</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/understanding-mutual-funds-as-a-structured-investment-option</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/understanding-mutual-funds-as-a-structured-investment-option</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Mutual funds are often considered by investors who are exploring market-linked instruments aligned with different financial goals and time horizons. Instead of investing directly in individual securities, mutual funds pool money from multiple investors and allocate it across assets such as equities, debt instruments, or a mix of both, based on the scheme’s stated objective. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Understanding mutual funds as a structured investment option


	
	This structure may help investors participate in the markets in a more organised manner while relying on professional fund management.


	
	What mutual funds represent in an investment journey


	At their core, mutual funds are collective investment vehicles. Each investor holds units that represent a proportionate share of the scheme’s portfolio. The value of these units fluctuates based on the market value of the underlying assets. This structure may suit individuals who prefer a managed approach rather than tracking and transacting in individual securities themselves.


	
	Mutual funds are offered across categories to align with varying investment horizons and risk profiles. These categories may include equity-oriented schemes, debt-oriented schemes, and hybrid schemes. The suitability of any category depends on factors such as financial objectives, time horizon, and comfort with market volatility.


	
	How diversification plays a role
	One of the key structural features of mutual funds is diversification. By investing across multiple securities, sectors, or maturities, a scheme may reduce the impact of adverse movement in a single investment. This does not eliminate risk, but the likelihood of concentration-related volatility may reduce when investments are spread across assets.


	
	Diversification works differently across categories. For instance, equity-oriented schemes may diversify across industries, while debt-oriented schemes may diversify across issuers and maturity profiles. Investors may choose schemes based on how this diversification aligns with their expectations and financial planning approach.


	
	Investment approaches within mutual funds
	Investors may participate in mutual funds through different investment methods. A lump sum approach involves investing a larger amount at one time, while an SIP allows investments at regular intervals. An SIP may suit individuals who prefer staggered investments over time rather than committing a larger amount upfront.


	
	The choice between these approaches may depend on cash flow patterns, market conditions, and personal preference. It is important to note that each method carries market-related risks and outcomes may vary.


	
	Understanding returns and performance measurement
	Returns from mutual funds depend on multiple factors, including asset allocation, market movement, and expense ratios. Performance is generally measured over different time frames to provide context on how the scheme has behaved historically.


	
	While historical data may offer perspective, it should not be viewed in isolation. Investors often compare scheme performance against benchmarks or peer averages to understand relative behaviour, though such comparisons are indicative and not predictive.


	
	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	
	Costs and expense considerations
	Mutual funds charge an expense ratio, which covers fund management and operational costs. This expense is deducted from the scheme’s assets and may impact overall returns over time. Lower expenses do not automatically translate to better outcomes, but understanding cost structures may help investors make informed comparisons.


	
	Direct and regular plans also differ in expense structures, which may influence long-term outcomes. Investors may review these aspects based on their investment approach and preference for advisory support.


	
	Role of risk and time horizon
	All mutual funds are subject to market risks. Equity-oriented schemes may exhibit higher volatility over shorter periods, while debt-oriented schemes may be sensitive to interest rate movements and credit risk. Hybrid schemes combine elements of both, but still carry market-linked uncertainty.


	
	The time horizon plays a significant role in how these risks manifest. Longer investment horizons may allow periods of volatility to smoothen out, whereas shorter horizons may be more sensitive to market fluctuations. Aligning investment horizons with scheme characteristics is an important consideration.


	
	Using tools to estimate potential outcomes
	Investors sometimes use tools such as a mutual fund returns calculator to estimate how an investment amount might grow over time under assumed return scenarios. Such tools typically allow users to input variables like investment amount, duration, and expected rate of return to generate illustrative projections.


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	
	While a mutual fund returns calculator may help in visualising potential outcomes, it does not account for real-time market conditions or future uncertainties. These projections should therefore be viewed as broad illustrations rather than forecasts.


	
	Factors investors may evaluate before choosing mutual funds
	Before selecting mutual funds, investors often evaluate multiple aspects such as scheme objective, asset allocation, historical behaviour across market cycles, expense ratios, and alignment with personal financial goals. Risk appetite and liquidity needs also influence this evaluation.


	
	It may be useful to review scheme documents carefully to understand how the fund is structured and managed. Decisions are generally more effective when made in the context of an overall financial plan rather than in isolation.


	
	Conclusion
	Mutual funds offer a structured way to participate in financial markets across different asset classes and investment styles. Their diversified nature, professional management, and variety of categories may suit investors with varying objectives and horizons. However, outcomes remain linked to market movements and individual scheme characteristics. A thoughtful evaluation of goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon, along with a clear understanding of how mutual funds function, may support more informed investment decisions.


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.

<title>Simple Interest Calculator: Understanding Basic Interest Before Mutual Fund Investing</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/simple-interest-calculator-understanding-basic-interest-before-mutual-fund-investing</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/simple-interest-calculator-understanding-basic-interest-before-mutual-fund-investing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Understanding how interest works is often the first step in building financial awareness. Before exploring market-linked products, some investors prefer to understand basic interest concepts and how money grows over time in a linear manner. A simple interest calculator helps explain this foundation in a straightforward way, without introducing complexity. This understanding may help you place mutual fund investing in the right context and set realistic expectations.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Simple interest calculator


	
	What simple interest means in everyday terms
	Simple interest is calculated only on the original amount invested, also known as the principal. The interest earned does not compound or earn further interest. This makes it easier to understand and predict.


	
	For example, if a sum is invested at a fixed rate for a fixed period, the interest is calculated once on the principal for the entire duration.
	For illustrative purpose only


	
	Because of this linear structure, simple interest is often used for short-term instruments or basic learning purposes, rather than long-term wealth planning.


	
	How a simple interest calculator works
	A simple interest calculator uses three basic inputs: principal amount, rate of interest, and time. Based on these, it shows the interest earned and the total value at the end of the period.


	
	The calculation follows a standard formula, which keeps outcomes predictable and easy to interpret. This makes the simple interest calculator suitable for understanding time-value concepts without market variables.


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	
	Why understanding simple interest may still matter
	While mutual funds do not operate on simple interest, understanding this concept may help you build financial clarity. It shows how time and rate influence outcomes in a direct manner, without compounding effects.


	
	This clarity may be useful when comparing different savings and investment options. It may also help you recognise why long-term market-linked investments behave differently from fixed-return instruments.


	
	Comparing simple interest with market-linked investing
	Simple interest offers certainty in calculation, but it does not reflect how mutual funds work. Mutual fund returns depend on market movements and portfolio performance.


	
	performance: Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	
	Unlike simple interest, mutual fund returns may vary year to year. Over longer periods, compounding plays a role, which is not captured in simple interest calculations. Understanding this distinction may help you set suitable expectations and avoid comparing unrelated return structures.


	
	Using a simple interest calculator for basic planning
	You may choose to use a simple interest calculator when planning short-term goals or understanding how fixed-rate products behave. It may also help in estimating interest from basic lending or savings arrangements.


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	
	However, it is generally not used to evaluate mutual fund investments, as these involve varying returns and compounding over time.


	
	Where mutual funds fit into the picture
	Mutual funds are managed investment products where money is invested across assets such as equity or debt, depending on the scheme objective. An asset management company oversees these investments, following stated mandates and regulatory frameworks.


	
	Unlike simple interest-based products, mutual funds do not promise fixed outcomes. Returns depend on multiple factors including market conditions, asset allocation, and time horizon. Understanding simple interest first may help you appreciate why mutual fund outcomes are not linear.


	
	Understanding the role of an asset management company
	An asset management company is responsible for managing mutual fund schemes and making investment decisions in line with the scheme objective. The company appoints fund managers, ensures compliance, and handles day-to-day operations.


	
	The asset management company does not guarantee returns. Its role is to manage investments professionally within defined risk parameters, while outcomes remain linked to market performance.


	
	Conclusion
	A simple interest calculator is a useful learning tool for understanding basic interest concepts and linear growth. It may help build financial awareness and provide clarity on how time and rate influence money. However, mutual fund investing operates differently, with returns linked to markets and compounding over time. Understanding this distinction may help you approach investments with more informed expectations and a suitable perspective.


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.

<title>Using a Step up SIP Calculator to Plan Gradual Increases in SIP Contributions</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/using-a-step-up-sip-calculator-to-plan-gradual-increases-in-sip-contributions</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/using-a-step-up-sip-calculator-to-plan-gradual-increases-in-sip-contributions</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Planning regular investments often involves balancing present affordability with future income growth. One approach investor explore is gradually increasing their SIP amount over time rather than starting with a higher commitment. This method aligns contributions with changing cash flows and evolving financial priorities. A structured way to visualise this approach is by understanding how step-up features work within an SIP framework.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Using a step up SIP calculator to plan gradual increases in SIP contributions
	 


	Understanding the concept of a step-up SIP


	A step-up SIP allows you to increase your SIP contribution at predefined intervals. Instead of investing a fixed amount throughout the tenure, the contribution rises periodically, usually in line with income progression or revised savings capacity. You may choose the frequency and percentage of the increase at the outset, depending on what suits your planning horizon.
	 


	This structure may suit investors who prefer starting with a manageable amount and adjusting contributions gradually. It is commonly considered in long-term planning where consistency and discipline are prioritised over short-term outcomes.
	 


	Why investors consider a step-up approach


	A gradual increase in SIP contributions may help align investing habits with changing life stages. Early in one’s career, surplus income may be limited, while later years may allow higher allocations. By planning incremental increases, you may avoid the pressure of committing a larger sum at the start.
	 


	This approach also supports habit-building, as the initial SIP amount remains within comfort levels. Over time, the likelihood of maintaining continuity may increase, provided contributions remain aligned with income changes.
	 


	How a step up SIP calculator supports planning


	A step up SIP calculator helps you estimate how periodic increases in SIP contributions may influence the overall investment journey. By entering variables such as starting amount, step-up rate, and tenure, you may view an indicative projection of how contributions and potential outcomes evolve over time.
	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.
	 


	Using a step-up SIP calculator may assist in comparing different step-up rates and understanding how small increases may affect long-term accumulation. It allows you to explore scenarios without making assumptions about certainty or outcomes.
	 


	Interpreting outputs with caution


	While a step up SIP calculator presents projections, it is essential to interpret these outputs carefully. Any illustration is based on assumed inputs and does not account for market fluctuations or changes in personal circumstances.
	
	Performance: Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.
	 


	If an example shows a higher accumulated value due to stepped-up contributions, it reflects a mathematical projection rather than an assured outcome.
	
	*For illustrative purpose only
	 


	You may treat such outputs as a reference point for planning conversations rather than as a basis for expectation-setting.
	 


	Factors to consider before choosing step-up increments


	Before deciding the step-up percentage, you may review income stability, expected changes in expenses, and existing financial commitments. A modest increase that aligns with realistic cash flows may be more suitable than an aggressive step-up that becomes difficult to sustain.
	 


	Using a step up SIP calculator again with revised assumptions may help you reassess affordability under different conditions. This iterative approach supports informed planning without over-reliance on a single scenario.
	 


	Where hybrid funds may fit in a broader plan


	Within a diversified portfolio, some investors also explore hybrid funds to balance exposure across asset classes. Hybrid funds combine different investment types within a single structure, which may suit those seeking moderated variability alongside growth-oriented components.
	 


	When considering such options, it is important to view them as part of an overall allocation strategy rather than in isolation. The suitability of hybrid funds depends on individual goals, time horizon, and comfort with variability.
	 


	Conclusion


	A step-up approach to SIP investing focuses on gradual progression rather than immediate scale. Tools such as a step up SIP calculator may help you visualise how incremental increases in contributions interact with time and consistency. While such tools support planning, outcomes remain uncertain and depend on multiple factors. A measured, well-considered approach aligned with personal circumstances may help maintain continuity over the long term.
	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>Classic Legends Unites Jawa, Yezdi and BSA Riders Under &amp;apos;Nomads&amp;apos;, the Unified Riding Collective, this Republic Day</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Riders of Jawa, Yezdi and BSA rode out across India on 26 January 2026, with the shared belief that motorcycling, like the Republic itself, thrives on unity drawn from diversity. Classic Legends, the makers of the modern performance classics, celebrated with them by going live with its community page, titled ‘Nomads: Ride as One, Ride the Legacy’, on its official website. The new page is designed to take riders closer to their local riding community (Jawa-Yezdi-BSA rider clubs) by making discovery and connecting just a click away.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Jawa-Yezdi-BSA Nomads Kommuniti&#039;s The Republic Ride


	 


	The Republic Day rides, Nomads for Unity in Diversity, stretched across regions and cultures, from Jammu to Tamil Nadu, Gujarat to Manipur, reflecting India’s vast geography united by a single passion for performance classics from Jawa, Yezdi and BSA. The love for these motorcycles brought together more than 2,000 riders, representing over 20 independent riding communities and more than 150 dealership-led riding groups, spanning different age groups, professions, and riding styles.


	 


	In a rolling expression of continuity, seasoned riders rode alongside first-time tourers, and legacy machines flanked modern-day performance classics from brands Jawa, Yezdi and BSA. The independent communities and dealership-led riding groups will now be further unified by Classic Legends’ riding collective called ‘Nomads’, consolidating all the brands’ riding groups on the brands’ common website.


	 


	Spanning riding communities across Jawa, Yezdi, and BSA, Nomads is designed to be their shared identity that cuts across the brands, regions, and choice of ride. Built by riders, and not by campaigns, Nomads epitomises the inclusiveness, independence, and joy of riding with one’s tribe. It made Republic Day a fitting celebration to launch the Nomads website nationally. The page will make finding the riding club closest to the rider easy and facilitate riding out with their tribe more often.


	 


	Anupam Thareja, Co-founder, Classic Legends, said, “At the heart of motorcycling lies the urge to seek out your own brand of freedom. Our performance classics are designed for that quest. But there is a deeper longing that defines motorcycling across generations, especially in these alienating times of digital overload – the urge to belong. While some days are about riding for yourself, Republic Day is about riding together. The annual rides of Jawa, Yezdi and BSA on this day unites different riders to ride out as a close-knit tribe. This year, we are celebrating them by doing more than sharing their stories. We are going live with our community page, Nomads, which lets each of our riders, old and new, find a riding community near them. The name for our riding collective recognises the urge to test boundaries and yet, belong together for a shared purpose, which could simply be the love of motorcycling.”


	 


	In addition to the Nomads page launch, rider stories from across the country were shared in real-time on the Jawa Yezdi and BSA Motorcycle social media handles throughout the day, saluting the spirit of riding with fellow Nomads.


	 


	The Republic Day rides are an annual tradition for Nomads, the Jawa, Yezdi and BSA riding communities. This year marks a larger, more unified Nomads presence, deeper collaboration with independent communities, and the launch of the Nomads platform, built to sustain that momentum well beyond community rides throughout the year.


	 


	About Classic Legends Pvt. Ltd. &amp; BSA Motorcycles


	Classic Legends Pvt. Ltd. was founded with a vision to reintroduce iconic motorcycle brands in India &amp; international markets. The company currently boasts an elaborate portfolio constituting Jawa, Yezdi &amp; BSA marquee brands.

Three offerings in particular reflect this approach, addressing long-standing gaps in value, access, and simplicity.


	
	Savings account linked to 100% of the RBI repo rate


	slice has introduced India’s first savings account linked to 100% of the RBI repo rate, ensuring customers earn returns aligned with the true cost of money in the economy. Interest is calculated and credited daily, allowing savings to grow in real time rather than through static, below-market rates.
	
	The offering is enabled by slice’s digital-first operating model, which keeps costs low and deploys deposits through disciplined lending to generate a healthy spread over the risk-free rate. Customers benefit from transparent returns, no minimum balance requirements, instant liquidity, and full digital access from day one, including UPI for everyday transactions.
	
	By aligning profitability with fairness, the product sets out a new benchmark for what consumers should expect from a modern savings account.
	 


	UPI credit card built for everyday payments


	As UPI becomes the default payment mode across India, slice is extending credit to where users already transact. The slice UPI credit card allows customers to scan and pay at any UPI-enabled merchant while drawing directly from an approved credit limit, embedding credit into routine payments instead of restricting it to traditional card usage.
	 


	This shift matters because access to formal credit is still limited for a large part of the population. Banks play a critical role as stabilizing institutions, enabling consumers to build a credit history early in their financial journey. Regular, responsible credit usage helps individuals qualify over time for lower-cost loans such as home loans, education loans, or business credit. For millions, the absence of a simple entry point into formal credit delays these opportunities.
	 


	Check the NPCI podcast between Rajan Bajaj, Founder &amp; ED, slice and Dilip Asbe, MD &amp; CEO, NPCI
	 


	The card offers up to 3% cashback based on usage, features such as “slice in 3” for no-cost EMI conversion on purchases above Rs. 2,000, and weekly rewards through slice sparks. With no joining, renewal, or annual fees, and a fully digital experience, the slice UPI credit card lowers barriers to formal credit while aligning with existing payment behaviour.
	 


	Digital fixed deposits with high returns and regulatory protection


	For users seeking predictable and secure returns, slice offers fully digital fixed deposits that combine traditional stability with app-based convenience. Customers can open, manage, and track deposits entirely online, choosing from multiple tenures based on their financial goals.
	
	The fixed deposits offer interest rates of up to 7.25% per annum and are insured up to Rs. 5 lakh by the DICGC, providing an additional layer of regulatory protection. By pairing competitive returns with transparency and ease of access, slice is reimagining even conventional products for a digital-first audience.
	 


	As banking continues to evolve alongside India’s digital economy, slice’s integrated approach highlights a broader shift in consumer expectations. Platforms that simplify savings, spending, and wealth creation within a single ecosystem are increasingly shaping preference, signaling a new chapter in how Indians experience banking. ]]></description>

	Gullak, a digital gold savings platform, today announced the launch of India’s first jeweller savings scheme marketplace, bringing leading jewellery brands onto a single digital platform. The marketplace currently features CaratLane, with two more large jewellers set to launch in the coming days, and 15-20 additional brands planned to be added over the course of the year as the platform scales.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Manthan Shah, Naimisha Rao, Dilip Jain (L-R) - Gullak Co-founders
	 


	The launch marks a significant step in Gullak’s vision to build the most comprehensive product ecosystem for gold lovers, one that supports every stage of a consumer’s gold journey, from short-term gifting to long-term life goals.
	 


	Jewellery savings schemes have long been trusted by Indian consumers, but discovery has remained fragmented across individual brands, often requiring users to visit multiple stores or platforms to evaluate options. This has led to confusion around which scheme best fits a consumer’s needs. Gullak’s jeweller scheme marketplace brings these schemes onto a single digital platform, allowing users to discover multiple options side by side, choose how they save, and manage their jewellery savings seamlessly in one app.
	 


	While this launch marks the first step, Gullak’s ambition extends beyond aggregation. Over time, the company aims to build India’s leading jeweller marketplace, bringing together trusted brands, co creating innovative products with jewellers and helping users consistently access the best value for money.


	 


	“Many users tell us that while gifting gold especially for anniversaries and other recurring milestones brings immense joy, the purchase often burns a hole in the pocket. Gullak’s jeweller schemes are designed to solve this exact tension - helping users spread the cost of meaningful gifts over time, without compromising on quality or intent. The marketplace fits naturally into recurring use cases like anniversaries, where users redeem jewellery every year on the same date,” said Manthan Shah, Co-founder of Gullak.


	 


	Early traction has indicated strong demand for the marketplace. Given Gullak&#039;s highest concentration of serious Gold lovers, in just five days of launch, the platform has already surpassed volumes of several physical stores. Jewellers have seen strong engagement and high-quality customer demand through Gullak, with many users turning out to be first-time buyers for these brands and arriving with clear purchase intent.
	 


	“Jewellers are extremely happy with the scale &amp; quality of customers coming through Gullak. Many of them are first-time buyers for these jewellers, and they come with a clear intent to purchase gold jewellery,” said Manthan Shah.
	 


	Saumen Bhaumik, Managing Director, CaratLane, said, “CaratLane jewellery is about celebrating life’s daily milestones. Our partnership with Gullak enables millions to plan and save for the pieces they aspire to own - making the journey to owning a natural diamond ring or tennis bracelet as seamless as the purchase itself.”
	 


	While this launch marks the first step, Gullak’s ambition extends beyond aggregation. Over time, the company aims to build India’s leading jeweller marketplace, bringing together trusted brands, co creating innovative products with jewellers and helping users consistently access the best value for money.
	 


	As more jewellers come onboard, Gullak envisions becoming the default destination for anyone planning to buy gold, whether for gifting, milestones, or legacy purchases - further strengthening its position as a leading platform for gold lovers in India.

<title>MATTER Unveils India&amp;apos;s First AI&#45;DV Platform at Technology Day 3.0, Announces a Series of Products Across Two&#45;Wheeler Segments for a Complete EV Transformation</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/matter-unveils-indias-first-ai-dv-platform-at-technology-day-30-announces-a-series-of-products-across-two-wheeler-segments-for-a-complete-ev-transformation</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/matter-unveils-indias-first-ai-dv-platform-at-technology-day-30-announces-a-series-of-products-across-two-wheeler-segments-for-a-complete-ev-transformation</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ MATTER today unveiled India’s first AI-Defined vehicles (AIDV) platform at Technology Day 3.0, marking a tech forward defining milestone and a decisive inflection point in the evolution of electric two-wheelers. The unveiling establishes the company’s intent to lead the next phase of the two-wheeler industry, while signalling a structural shift in how vehicles are engineered, built, and experienced.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	MATTER - TechUp3.0 - The New Continuum


	 


	With this announcement, MATTER positions intelligence not hardware alone as the defining layer of the next generation of two-wheelers. The AIDV platform establishes a scalable technology and product roadmap spanning multiple products over the next 36–48 months, while establishing MATTER as a proven long-term leader in performance, efficiency, safety, and lifecycle value, with alternate materials as a complementary key initiative in building sustainable, future-ready vehicles.


	 


	A Defining Moment for Indian Two-Wheelers


	With Technology Day 3.0, MATTER positioned itself not merely as an EV manufacturer, but as a deep-technology company redefining how two-wheelers are conceived, engineered, and evolved ahead of time. The unveiling of the AIDV platform marks a decisive inflection point, signalling a structural shift in how electric two-wheelers are built, experienced, and taken into the future.


	 


	AIDV: Redefining the Architecture of Two-Wheelers


	MATTER emphasised that AIDVs are not incremental upgrades over existing electric architectures. They represent a fundamental re-architecture ahead of field where intelligence actively governs how materials, energy, power, and control systems behave in real-world conditions.


	 


	Unlike mechanically defined vehicles (MDVs), where performance and behaviour are fixed at the time of production, or electronically defined vehicles (EDVs), where control improves through electronics, and software-defined vehicles (SDVs)—such as MATTER AERA, which represents an SDV architecture with vehicle functions and behaviours defined and upgraded through software—AIDVs continuously evolve across the entire vehicle lifecycle.


	 


	Intelligence sits at the core, enabling consistent real-world performance and energy efficiency, predictive reliability with lower lifetime ownership costs, continuous capability expansion through software, and deep personalisation with adaptive ride behaviour tech forward by design.


	 


	As vehicles transition from Mechanical → Electronic → Software → Intelligence-Driven, MATTER aims to set the benchmark for the next generation, ahead of time where materials, machines, and intelligence operate as a single, adaptive system.


	 


	This approach enables electric two-wheelers to move beyond traditional constraints of energy density, thermal management, and power delivery—positioning them not merely as alternatives to fossil-fuel vehicles, but as a new reference point for the category, ahead of field.


	 


	Innovation That Already Matters: AERA as SDV 1.0


	MATTER highlighted that this transition did not begin today. With AERA, the company has already delivered multiple industry-first paradigm shifts:


	
		
			Hypershift™ gearbox, redefining rider control and engagement in EVs,
	
	
		
			Liquid-cooled motor and battery, breaking long-standing thermal ceilings in E2Ws
	
	
		
			Deeply embedded control systems, integrating FOC into CLA
	
	
		
			Cell and pack innovations, enabling improved repairability, laser-welded integrity, and higher power density
	
	
		
			MATTER reiterated that AERA is already an SDV 1.0 platform, proven, with every OTA release enhancing vehicle character and capability on unchanged hardware.
	



	 


	From Software-Defined to AI-Defined Vehicles


	While Software-Defined Vehicles digitised vehicles through connectivity and updates, MATTER’s AIDV architecture introduces a deeper shift, tech forward intelligence embedded directly into control and decision layers.


	 


	Here, intelligence governs how motors adapt torque and efficiency in real time, how batteries age and protect themselves, how thermal systems manage stress rather than derate performance, and how vehicles predict faults, adapt behaviour, and improve over time.


	 


	This allows MATTER to manage rising system complexity without slowing development—turning engineering depth into a proven long-term competitive advantage.


	 


	Materials, Reimagined—and Governed by Intelligence


	MATTER underscored that the next decade will be defined not only by AI, but equally by new materials—and by intelligence that understands and governs those materials, ahead of time.


	 


	Key breakthroughs include rare-earth-free motor architectures, adaptive variable flux drives, advanced semiconductor and sensor strategies, and cell-level intelligence unlocking industry-leading battery life and consistency.


	 


	By embedding intelligence into how materials behave—not just how they are selected—MATTER unlocks new benchmarks in efficiency, longevity, and customer experience, ahead of field.


	 


	Domain-Integrated Compute &amp; Intelligence at Scale


	MATTER detailed its domain and zonal integration strategy, optimising compute across the vehicle rather than distributing intelligence across isolated controllers—tech forward in execution. This balances edge and cloud intelligence, enabling higher performance, lower latency, and scalable complexity without hardware sprawl.


	 


	Speaking at the event, Mohal Lalbhai, Founder and Group CEO, MATTER, said: “Two-wheelers have been mechanically defined for decades. Intelligence-Driven Vehicles change that permanently. When intelligence governs materials, energy, and control—not just software—we unlock vehicles that continuously outperform their own starting point. This is not an EV transition. This is a category reset.”


	 


	Kumar Prasad Tellikepalli, Founder and Group CTO, MATTER, added, “Intelligence is the only way to scale complexity without slowing innovation. AIDVs allow us to compress development cycles, improve first-time-right outcomes, and build vehicles that learn from every kilometre ridden—while introducing a new approach to materials, where intelligence governs how materials behave, age, and perform in real-world conditions. This is how engineering depth becomes a proven compounding advantage.”


	The future of two-wheelers is not electric alone.
	It is intelligent.


	 


	Five-Segment Product Expansion Strategy (36–48 Months)


	MATTER announced a five-segment expansion roadmap, all built on a common AI-defined hardware, software, compute, and data backbone:


	
		
			Naked Street Motorcycles
	
	
		
			Street Fighter Motorcycles
	
	
		
			Adventure (ADV) Motorcycles
	
	
		
			Youth-Focused Commuter Motorcycles
	
	
		
			Electric Scooters
	



	 


	This strategy enables MATTER to address the majority of India’s two-wheeler demand spectrum through a core, scalable technology platform.


	 


	Long-Term Technology Leadership


	MATTER reported 400+ technology innovations supported by 97 granted patents, reinforcing the company’s proven long-term intellectual property defensibility and deep-technology foundation.


	 


	With the AIDV platform, MATTER has laid out a clear direction: to lead the transition from mechanically defined motorcycles to AI-defined electric motorcycles, ahead of time, setting new benchmarks for performance, reliability, and ownership experience.

<title>ZebPay Introduces SIPs to Promote Disciplined, Long&#45;Term Bitcoin Investing</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/zebpay-introduces-sips-to-promote-disciplined-long-term-bitcoin-investing</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/zebpay-introduces-sips-to-promote-disciplined-long-term-bitcoin-investing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ ZebPay, one of India’s pioneering Bitcoin exchanges, has announced the launch of its Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) feature, allowing users to avail the benefit of automated, recurring crypto investments. The new feature is designed to promote a disciplined, long-term approach to crypto investing, especially Bitcoin, helping Indian investors manage market volatility with consistency and confidence.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	ZebPay Introduces SIPs to Promote Disciplined, Long-Term Bitcoin Investing


	
	Reinforcing its long-standing Bitcoin-first philosophy, ZebPay has designed its SIP offering with a clear emphasis on systematic Bitcoin investing, while also extending access to a curated set of 15 crypto investing pairs. Anchored in the brand’s “Bitcoin Mein Pro” ethos, the initiative underscores ZebPay’s belief that long-term value in crypto is built through discipline, consistency, and informed participation rather than short-term speculation.


	
	Sharing his views on the launch, Rahul Pagidipati, CEO of ZebPay, said, “Bitcoin investing, like any long-term financial journey, rewards discipline and consistency. While market volatility is inevitable, systematic investing can help users navigate these cycles with greater confidence. Through the launch of SIPs, we aim to make it easier for Indian investors to adopt a long-term mindset, leverage rupee-cost averaging, and participate in the crypto ecosystem in a more structured and responsible manner.&quot;


	
	By enabling regular investments at fixed intervals, ZebPay SIPs help users reduce reactionary decision-making and build disciplined investing habits focused on long-term participation in the crypto ecosystem. The feature is suited for both first-time investors beginning their crypto journey and experienced users seeking a more structured investment approach. Furthermore, ZebPay SIPs enable users to automate their crypto investments on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis through the platform’s Quick Trade feature. Investments are executed automatically at prevailing market prices, allowing for hands-free investing while helping users average their purchase costs over time. Users also retain full flexibility, with the option to pause, resume, or cancel their SIPs at any time, without lock-ins or penalties.


	
	Raj Karkara, COO of ZebPay, mentioned, “Over the years, we’ve seen growing interest from users seeking simpler, more automated ways to invest in crypto without the need to constantly track the markets. ZebPay SIPs are designed to offer users control and transparency while reducing the friction associated with manual investing. This launch marks another step in our ongoing efforts to build intuitive, compliant, and investor-first solutions for India’s evolving crypto community.”


	
	Setting up a SIP on ZebPay is designed to be simple and transparent. Users can select a crypto asset of their choice, set a fixed investment amount in INR, and choose an investment frequency aligned with their financial goals. Each SIP execution is carried out through Quick Trade market orders, with the purchased crypto credited directly to the user’s account. Investors also have clear visibility into their investment amounts, applicable fees, and execution history at all times.


	
	In line with ZebPay’s commitment to accessible and responsible investing, SIPs follow the same fee structure as Quick Trade. As a special benefit, users making their first-ever Bitcoin transaction, even if via SIP, will enjoy a zero-fee experience, making it easier for new investors to take their first step toward systematic Bitcoin investing. On that note, ZebPay SIPs are available to KYC-compliant users, with investments executed only when sufficient wallet balance is present. The feature has been live on Android and web platforms from January 8, 2026, and has also become available on iOS since January 12, 2026.


	
	With this launch, ZebPay reinforces its position as a platform focused on long-term value creation. The SIP offering embodies the company’s broader philosophy of promoting disciplined investing, setting ZebPay apart from platforms primarily focused on active or high-frequency trading.


	
	About ZebPay
	ZebPay is one of India’s oldest Bitcoin exchanges, with over 6 million registered users. Founded in 2014, it strives to be the leading blockchain asset solution provider and the #1 financial advisor for Indians in the crypto space. The company’s mission is to help its members achieve financial freedom in the Web3 economy. ZebPay is an FIU-registered digital asset exchange, accessible via zebpay.com/in/ as well as the Android Play Store and Apple App Store. Customers can invest in Bitcoin, Ethereum, BAT, and 400+ other crypto pairs, trading both crypto-fiat and crypto-crypto. ZebPay OTC, a bespoke trading desk for high-volume clients, serves both individual and institutional investors.

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-housing-finance-limiteds-sambhav-home-loan-offers-eligible-homebuyers-to-explore-pmay-u-20-benefits</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban 2.0 (PMAY-U 2.0) aims to expand access to homeownership for eligible urban families, particularly those who do not own a permanent home. The scheme is designed around inclusion, transparency, and improved ease of access through a structured eligibility and beneficiary identification framework. In parallel, Bajaj Housing Finance Limited’s Sambhav Home Loan offers housing loan solutions for homebuyers from the unorganised sector, including micro-entrepreneurs and low-income households, designed for customers with cash-based incomes or limited formal documentation.


	 


	A key component of PMAY-U 2.0 is the Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS), under which eligible beneficiaries can receive an interest subsidy of up to Rs. 1.80 Lakh over a period of 5 years on their housing loan. This helps reduce the effective cost of borrowing and supports more manageable monthly repayments. The subsidy is applicable on home loans sanctioned and disbursed after 1 September 2024, subject to eligibility and scheme norms.


	 


	Eligible homebuyers who opt for Bajaj Housing Finance Limited’s Sambhav Home Loan can apply for PMAY-U 2.0 interest subsidy benefits, subject to the scheme’s eligibility framework, verification, and allotment process, among other factors. Final allotment under PMAY-U 2.0 is determined based on preference categories outlined in the official guidelines.


	 


	Eligible applicants can also check their eligibility and register for PMAY-U 2.0 benefits through the Unified Web Portal of PMAY 2.0, launched by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, as per the scheme’s eligibility criteria and process.


	 


	As urban India continues to expand, widening access to housing remains central to building stronger communities. PMAY-U 2.0, through its interest subsidy framework, helps eligible households reduce the cost of borrowing, while lending solutions such as Sambhav Home Loan expand access to home loans for customers with varied income profiles. Together, these efforts contribute to a more inclusive housing ecosystem for eligible homebuyers.


	 


	Sambhav Home Loan is designed for homebuyers from the unorganised segment, including micro-entrepreneurs, self-employed individuals, and households with cash-based incomes. The product framework is structured to consider varied income profiles and, where applicable, supports assessment through alternative income and repayment indicators. The product framework also follows a simplified documentation approach for eligible applicants, subject to internal verification and credit norms.


	 


	Borrowers can read PMAY-U 2.0 scheme details and registration information on the Unified Web Portal of PMAY 2.0.


	BHFL is a facilitator of the PMAY-U 2.0 application and does not guarantee any receipt of the subsidy.

<title>Using a simple interest calculator to understand basic return scenarios</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/using-a-simple-interest-calculator-to-understand-basic-return-scenarios</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/using-a-simple-interest-calculator-to-understand-basic-return-scenarios</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When planning investments, understanding how returns are calculated is often the first step. While markets and instruments vary widely, some investors begin by exploring basic interest concepts before moving to more complex approaches. In this context, a simple interest calculator may help you understand how returns are computed in a straightforward manner, without assumptions around compounding or reinvestment.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Breaking down basic returns through simple interest calculator


	 


	What simple interest means in financial terms


	Simple interest refers to interest calculated only on the initial amount invested, also known as the principal. Unlike compounding, the interest earned does not get added back to the principal for future calculations. As a result, the growth pattern remains linear over time.


	 


	This method of calculation is often used for short-term instruments or illustrative purposes. It is not designed to reflect how most market-linked investments function, but it may help explain basic return mechanics.


	 


	How a simple interest calculator works


	A simple interest calculator typically uses three inputs: the principal amount, the rate of interest, and the time. Based on these inputs, it shows the total interest earned and the final value at the end of the chosen period.


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Using a simple interest calculator may help you visualise how time and rate influence returns under a fixed structure. However, real-world investments often behave differently due to market-linked factors.


	 


	Where simple interest calculations are commonly used


	Simple interest calculations are generally applied in situations where returns are predefined and time horizons are short. These may include certain deposits or lending arrangements, depending on terms and conditions.


	 


	In mutual fund investing, simple interest is not the method used to compute returns. Still, understanding it may provide a baseline for comparing how different return structures work conceptually.


	 


	Understanding limitations of simple interest models


	One key limitation of simple interest is that it does not account for reinvestment of earnings. As a result, it may understate potential outcomes when compared with compounding-based approaches over longer durations.


	 


	A simple interest calculator also assumes stability in rate and tenure. Markets, however, move through cycles, and investment values may fluctuate accordingly. Treating calculator outputs as learning tools rather than decision inputs may help maintain realistic expectations.


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Using calculators as part of early-stage planning


	Calculators are often used to bring structure to financial thinking. They help convert abstract ideas into numbers that are easier to interpret. A simple interest calculator may be particularly useful at an early stage, when the objective is to understand how returns are computed mathematically.


	 


	That said, calculators do not capture factors such as volatility, taxation, or changes in economic conditions. These elements may materially influence actual outcomes.


	 


	Comparing basic and market-linked return views


	As investors move beyond basic concepts, they may explore tools that reflect market-linked behaviour more closely. While simple interest offers clarity, it does not mirror how mutual fund returns are generated.


	 


	At this stage, some investors refer to an investment return calculator to understand how different assumptions around time, contribution levels, and expected rates interact mathematically.
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Using an investment return calculator alongside a simple interest calculator may help highlight the difference between linear and variable return structures, without implying certainty.


	 


	Conclusion


	A simple interest calculator may serve as a foundational tool for understanding how basic return calculations work. While it does not reflect the dynamics of market-linked investments, it may help build clarity around interest mechanics and time value. As investment understanding evolves, additional tools and perspectives may be required to account for real-world complexity and uncertainty.

<title>Using a lumpsum calculator to understand one&#45;time investment planning</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/using-a-lumpsum-calculator-to-understand-one-time-investment-planning</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/using-a-lumpsum-calculator-to-understand-one-time-investment-planning</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Planning a one-time investment often begins with setting expectations rather than predicting outcomes. Investors may want to understand how a single allocation could behave over time under different assumptions. In this context, a lumpsum calculator may help you visualise potential investment values across time horizons, while keeping in mind that market-linked outcomes remain uncertain.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Understanding one-time investments with lumpsum calculator


	 


	What a lumpsum investment involves


	A lumpsum investment refers to investing a single amount at one point in time, rather than spreading contributions periodically. This approach may be considered when you have surplus funds available or when aligning investments with a specific financial milestone.


	 


	The performance of a lumpsum investment is closely linked to market entry timing and subsequent market movement. As a result, short-term fluctuations may influence outcomes more visibly than with staggered investments.


	 


	How a lumpsum calculator works


	A lumpsum calculator typically requires inputs such as the investment amount, assumed rate of return, and time. Based on these assumptions, it provides an indicative future value of the investment.


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	By using a lumpsum calculator, you are exploring hypothetical scenarios rather than forecasting actual returns. Real market behaviour may differ from assumed conditions.


	 


	Understanding assumptions behind calculator illustrations


	Every calculator output is based on fixed assumptions. Equity funds move through cycles, and returns may vary from year to year. A lumpsum calculator does not account for interim volatility, portfolio changes, or external economic events.


	 


	It may be useful to review assumptions periodically and treat calculator outputs as a reference point rather than a basis for decision-making.


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Market timing and its influence on lumpsum investments


	Since a lumpsum investment is made at one time, market levels at the point of entry may influence short- to medium-term outcomes. Entering during a market peak or correction may lead to different interim experiences.


	 


	Over longer horizons, market movements may even out, but this is not guaranteed. Understanding this sensitivity may help set realistic expectations when planning a lumpsum allocation.


	 


	Role of asset allocation in managing variability


	Asset allocation plays an important role in shaping how investments respond to market conditions. A diversified allocation across equity and other asset classes may help balance volatility, depending on market behaviour.


	 


	While a lumpsum calculator does not reflect allocation-level dynamics, it may still help frame discussions around time horizon and assumed growth rates.


	 


	Exploring equity exposure in long-term planning


	Equity-oriented investments are often considered for long-term financial objectives due to their market-linked nature. When you invest in equity fund options, outcomes depend on company performance, economic conditions, and broader market trends.


	 


	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	 


	When planning to invest in equity fund categories through a lumpsum approach, aligning the investment horizon with risk tolerance becomes particularly important.


	 


	Using planning tools thoughtfully


	Planning tools may help organise financial thinking, but they do not replace professional judgement or market understanding. A lumpsum calculator helps illustrate mathematical possibilities, not market realities.


	 


	Similarly, deciding to invest in equity fund categories involves understanding volatility, liquidity, and time horizon. Tools and insights may support this process, but certainty is not possible.


	 


	Conclusion


	A lumpsum calculator may help you understand how a one-time investment could evolve under assumed conditions. It is best used as a planning aid rather than a predictive measure. When combined with an understanding of market behaviour and personal risk tolerance, such tools may support more informed investment conversations, while acknowledging that actual outcomes may vary.

<description><![CDATA[ Scalable, turn-key solution tailored for India’s traffic and road conditions, delivers safe navigation and cost-effective regulatory compliance
	
	
		
			Integrates Aptiv’s latest radar and smart camera - featuring STRADVISION’s AI-based vision technology - with Aptiv’s modular software solutions, all optimized for commercial vehicle applications
			 
	



	Aptiv PLC (NYSE: APTV), a global industrial technology company, today announced that a leading commercial vehicle OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) has selected its Gen 6 Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) to equip its future trucks and buses in India. 
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Gen 6 ADAS platform will scale across the broad commercial vehicle lineup, covering 14 models and more than 30 variants
	 


	This partnership marks Aptiv’s first collaboration with an Indian commercial vehicle OEM on ADAS. It comes as the industry prepares for yet to be rolled out 2027 regulations requiring new trucks and buses to include safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane departure and blind spot warnings and pedestrian and obstacle detection when starting from a stop.


	 


	To meet these requirements, commercial vehicle OEMs face unique challenges. They must integrate advanced safety technologies across diverse vehicle types and powertrains, address larger blind spots, and ensure reliability in harsh environments. Validation standards are more demanding than for passenger cars due to heavy-duty driving cycles, longer operating hours, and greater exposure to vibration and challenging road conditions.


	 


	“We are ready to play a leading role in helping OEMs in India meet demanding real-world conditions by introducing advanced, cost-effective safety solutions tested and tailored to local needs,” said Javed Khan, Executive Vice President and President, Intelligent Systems, Aptiv. “By combining globally proven technologies - already deployed in millions of vehicles across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific - with intelligent adaptations for the local commercial vehicle segment, we enable OEMs to rapidly deliver advanced safety technology for one of the world’s fastest-growing markets.”


	 


	Scalable, High-Performance Safety for Diverse CV Fleets


	Built on a uni-voltage architecture, the Gen 6 ADAS platform will scale across the broad commercial vehicle lineup for this OEM, covering 14 models and more than 30 variants.
	 


	Perception will be powered by Aptiv’s newly launched Gen 8 radar and Gen 7 smart camera, featuring STRADVISION’s AI-based vision technology specifically tailored for Indian road conditions - including detection of three-wheelers, large animals, and vulnerable road users such as pedestrians, road workers, and cyclists.


	 


	As part of an integrated solution, these advanced sensors and software will deliver industry-leading performance while reducing system complexity compared to conventional configurations. The platform leverages Aptiv’s modular ADAS software - already in production on more than 40 million vehicles globally - with support for over-the-air updates to add features and improve performance over time, enabled by Aptiv’s LINC™ Software Platform and Wind River’s VxWorks® real-time operating system (RTOS).


	 


	This partnership reinforces Aptiv’s long-term commitment to India’s rapidly growing passenger and commercial vehicle markets. It follows significant investments in local capabilities, including the opening of Aptiv’s technical center in Chennai in 2025 and the expansion of its advanced manufacturing facility in Chennai in 2024. Today, Aptiv India employs 2,500 engineers and 13,000 employees across 7 manufacturing sites, 4 technical centers, and 1 tooling center nationwide, supporting OEMs with production-ready, software-led solutions.


	 


	“India’s mobility ecosystem is at a pivotal point as regulatory and consumer expectations evolve rapidly. This is yet another example of Aptiv’s commitment to working closely with leading OEMs and industry partners to ensure optimized performance, timely regulatory compliance and a more resilient mobility landscape for India,” said Arun Devaraj, Vice President and Managing Director, Intelligent Systems, Aptiv Asia Pacific (Non-China).

	Aptiv is a global industrial technology company enabling more automated, electrified, and digitalized solutions across multiple end-markets.

<description><![CDATA[ Following its historic achievement as the first Miscellaneous Non-Banking Company (MNBC) in India to cross the Rs. 1 Lakh Crore ($12 Billion+) business turnover mark, Kerala State Financial Enterprises (KSFE) has started 2026 on a high note by securing top honors at the 7th Business World Emerging Business Awards.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	KSFE Dividend Presentation: Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal receiving the Rs. 70 crore dividend for FY 2024-25 from KSFE Chairman K. Varadarajan and MD Dr. S.K. Sanil


	 


	Recognized nationally for Excellence in MSME Financing and Leadership in Financial Inclusion, KSFE is now pivoting from a regional powerhouse to a national pillar of trusted finance.


	 


	“The achievement of KSFE is not just a success for Kerala, but a resilient model for the entire country. At a time when many financial institutions have faltered due to policy flaws, KSFE has proven that a public sector entity, rooted in transparency and public trust, can become a national leader in the financial sector,” stated Kerala Finance Minister K.N. Balagopal.


	 


	The &quot;Mission One Crore&quot; Surge


	Entering 2026, KSFE has officially activated &quot;Mission One Crore.&quot; With a current base of 6 million customers, the institution is aggressively expanding its digital footprint and physical presence to reach 10 million customers across India.


	 


	Why KSFE is Winning the Trust War:


	
		
			While the private NBFC sector faces volatility, KSFE’s &quot;State-Backed&quot; model has become a safe haven for Non Resident Keralalits
	
	
		
			Hyper-Growth: Business volume doubled from Rs. 50,000 Cr to Rs. 100,000 Cr in just 48 months.
	
	
		
			Fiscal Strength: A net profit of Rs. 512 Crore (FY24-25) with Rs. 8,925 Crore in fixed deposits safely held in the state treasury.
	
	
		
			Social Impact: Unlike private lenders, KSFE returned Rs. 504 Crore to the public through interest waivers and contributed Rs. 920 Crore to state development projects.
	



	 


	Innovation for the New-Age Indian


	The 2026 strategy is anchored by two flagship initiatives:


	 


	The Fraternity Fund: Rebranding the traditional &quot;Chitty&quot; for Gen Z and Millennials as a peer-to-peer savings-cum-credit tool for high-end education and home-building.


	 


	Digital First: The KSFE Power App is now processing thousands of transactions daily from the Malayali diaspora and young professionals in metros like Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi.


	 


	&quot;KSFE is no longer a Kerala-only secret. We are India’s answer to sustainable, ethical finance. Our win at the BW Emerging Business Awards proves that our model of &#039;People over Profits&#039; is what India wants in 2026,&quot; says Dr. S. K. Sanil, Managing Director, KSFE.


	 


	About KSFE


	KSFE is a 100% Kerala Government-owned financial institution. Since 1969, it has provided a transparent and secure alternative to private money lenders, now operating 683 branches with a business volume exceeding Rs. 1 Trillion. ]]></description>

<title>M1 Group&amp;apos;s Samaah 2025 Sparks Industry&#45;Regulator Dialogue on Scaling Digital Trade Finance</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/m1-groups-samaah-2025-sparks-industry-regulator-dialogue-on-scaling-digital-trade-finance</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/m1-groups-samaah-2025-sparks-industry-regulator-dialogue-on-scaling-digital-trade-finance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ M1 Group successfully concluded the third edition of its flagship thought-leadership forum, Samaah 2025, in Mumbai. The event brought together policymakers, senior banking leaders, corporates, and fintech players to discuss how digital finance and supply chain innovation can accelerate India’s participation in global trade.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Eminent Speaker, panellist, and the Award winners at the M1 Group’s Samaah 2025 in Mumbai


	 


	Samaah 2025 emphasised the importance of collaboration across the supply chain finance ecosystem to shape the next generation of trade and supply chain financing in India. The forum witnessed participation from the entire banking spectrum, including public sector banks, private banks, multinational banks, and NBFCs.
	 


	 


	A key highlight of the evening was the keynote address by Mr K. Rajaraman, Chairman, International Financial Services Centres Authority (IFSCA), who underscored the significant under-penetration of global trade finance in India. He noted that current factoring and trade credit volumes stand at approximately USD 45 billion, accounting for only about 10% of India’s merchandise exports of nearly USD 425 billion, compared with a global benchmark of around 20%.
	 


	Mr Rajaraman highlighted that while initiatives such as TReDS have expanded access to domestic trade finance, particularly for MSMEs, there remains substantial headroom for growth. He emphasised that the future of trade finance lies in technology-led platforms that enhance transparency, mitigate risk, and enable lenders to scale sustainably. With India targeting USD 2 trillion in exports by 2030, he noted that efficient, low-risk access to trade finance will be critical to achieving this ambition.
	 


	Among the key moments of Samaah 2025 was the unveiling of a comprehensive suite of Supply Chain Finance solutions - UFX (Unified Financing Xperience), developed by MYND Fintech, a subsidiary of M1xchange and a leading digital lending marketplace. The supply chain finance platform is designed for large corporates to manage multiple working capital programs through a single interface. Designed to simplify and unify financing across both payables and receivables, UFX enables enterprises to manage all financing programmes on a single integrated platform. The platform offers deep ERP integration and access to over 70 banks, NBFCs, factors, and TReDS platforms, enabling automated and largely touchless transactions.
	 


	Commenting on the success of the event, Mr Sundeep Mohindru, Founder and Promoter, M1 Group, said, “The success of Samaah 2025 lies in the depth and quality of conversations across the supply chain finance ecosystem. Bringing regulators, financiers, and industry leaders onto a common platform enabled meaningful dialogue on how technology can reduce friction, mitigate risk, and unlock capital for businesses of all sizes. At M1 Group, we remain committed to building digital infrastructure that supports sustainable growth and strengthens India’s global trade competitiveness.”
	 


	The forum featured several high-impact discussions, including a panel on ‘Improvement of Yields for Banks’, where industry experts Mr Nagaraj Garla, Executive Director, IDBI Bank, and Mr Deepak Kumar, Senior Executive Vice President, Tata AIG General Insurance Company Limited, shared insights on enhancing yield performance through innovative financing models, digital enablement, and risk-optimised credit frameworks. The session was moderated by Mr Amit Sachdev, Co-founder &amp; COO, M1 Group, and offered actionable perspectives for banks navigating an evolving financial landscape.

	About M1xchange
	M1xchange is a TReDS (Trade Receivables Discounting) exchange that started in April 2017. M1xchange facilitates the financing of trade receivables of MSMEs from corporate buyers through ‘factoring’ or ‘invoice discounting’ by financiers (Banks and NBFC). In a short span of time, M1xchange has onboarded 70+ Banks, 3,500+ corporates, and 70,000+ MSMEs and has facilitated the discounting of invoices of more than Rs 250,000 Crores. Transactions on the TReDS platform happen digitally and start when the MSME Supplier of Goods &amp;amp; Services raises the invoice, and the Buyer validates the same. This permits the financiers (Banks/NBFCs) to bid against the verified and approved invoice. Once the supplier accepts the bid, the payment is processed in 24 hrs. and credited to the MSME&#039;s bank account. Through this platform, M1xchange promises MSMEs greater access to finance at competitive rates and without providing any collateral. Further, the financing is without recourse. MSMEs pass on the risk of receivables to the financiers (NBFCs/Banks) by selling their receivables. ]]></description>

<title>As FX Volatility Continues, Xflow Helps Indian Exporters Turn Currency Risk into a Profit Lever</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/as-fx-volatility-continues-xflow-helps-indian-exporters-turn-currency-risk-into-a-profit-lever</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/as-fx-volatility-continues-xflow-helps-indian-exporters-turn-currency-risk-into-a-profit-lever</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For decades, Indian exporters have quietly absorbed high foreign exchange (FX) costs as an unavoidable part of global trade. While Indian products, services, and talent became globally competitive, the infrastructure supporting cross-border payments remained expensive, opaque, and slow - eroding margins through hidden FX spreads and delayed settlements.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Anand Balaji, Co-founder and CEO, Xflow
	 


	Over the last few months, as global markets grew volatile and export margins tightened, these inefficiencies became impossible to ignore. It was this exact problem that led Ashwin Bhatnagar, Anand Balaji, and Abhijit Chandrasekaran to start Xflow, with a mission to make international payments transparent, fast, and affordable for Indian businesses.
	 


	“When we started Xflow, most exporters didn’t actually know what they were paying to receive international payments, high FX spreads were buried in fine print and treated as inevitable. Only large enterprises could negotiate better terms. We believed transparency had to be the starting point,” said Ashwin Bhatnagar, Co-founder, Xflow.
	 


	Solving the First Problem: FX Transparency


	From day one, Xflow began displaying the mid-market FX benchmark rate in real time, alongside fully transparent FX spreads linked to globally accepted benchmarks. For many customers, this shift led to immediate savings.
	 


	For most businesses using Xflow, the FX costs dropped by 50% and more importantly, exporters finally knew what they were paying - and why.
	 


	From Payments to FX Intelligence


	With transparency in place, Xflow addressed a deeper challenge: exporters were still forced to react to FX rates rather than plan around them. To solve this, Xflow introduced enterprise-grade FX capabilities - traditionally available only to large corporates - to SMBs, agencies, and freelancers:
	 


	
		
			Live FX Booking: Track real-time FX rates and choose when to convert, ensuring predictable INR outcomes
	
	
		
			AI-Powered FX Insights: Analyze millions of data points across markets, news, and trends to generate actionable FX signals
	
	
		
			Limit Orders: Set target FX rates and automate conversions when markets hit the desired level
			 
	



	“We wanted to turn FX from a passive cost into an active margin lever,” said Bhatnagar. “Even small improvements in timing can materially impact profitability at scale.”
	 


	Real Impact for Growing Exporters


	Today, Xflow works with 30,000+ Indian exporters across IT services, SaaS, agencies, and freelance businesses. Many report settlement times reducing from (1-2 days) to under 24 hours, along with better control over FX outcomes.
	 


	“Xflow has been a game-changer for us,” said Mayank Pandey, Founder &amp; Director, Elbroz Media Pvt. Ltd. “Faster settlements and tools like FX AI Analyst and limit orders allow us to convert at rates we’re comfortable with - not reactively.”


	 


	About Xflow
	Xflow - a leading fintech offering cross-border payments for SMEs (ITES &amp; Funded Startups). Designed to eliminate inefficiencies in international transactions, Xflow offers a seamless, transparent, and fully compliant payment experience for businesses of all sizes - from freelancers and startups to large-scale enterprises. The company is currently servicing over 10,000 businesses &amp; has processed hundreds of millions.


	 


	Founded by Anand Balaji, Ashwin Bhatnagar and Abhijit Chandrasekaran, Xflow simplifies global money movement with innovative solutions that ensure effortless international transactions, efficient currency conversion, instant settlements, and full regulatory compliance. Headquartered in Bangalore, India, Xflow is backed by Lightspeed, General Catalyst, and Stripe, providing a strong financial foundation for long-term innovation. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ As part of its steadfast commitment to advancing India’s digitization mission, and further driving financial inclusion agenda, PayU, a leading fintech platform, executed a host of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives in 2025. Designed to bridge the digital divide and empower underserved communities nationwide, PayU’s multi-faceted programs have directly benefited over 50,000 rural beneficiaries and over 140 women across key villages in states like Maharashtra, etc. and about 450 students and educators in India since 2024. To drive this mission forward, PayU partnered with the key organizations including partnerships with the Data Security Council of India (DSCI), NeevJivan NGO, etc.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	 PayU conducted engaging sessions on cybersecurity for students in partnership with DSCI’s Cyber for Youth Program


	
	&quot;PayU&#039;s commitment to social impact goes beyond financial inclusion – we&#039;re building digitally safe and economically empowered communities from the ground up,&quot; said Richa Mukherjee, Senior Director – Corporate Affairs and Public Policy. &quot;These programs represent our belief that technology and entrepreneurship can transform lives. When we see rural students mastering cybersecurity concepts or women launching sustainable businesses, we&#039;re creating lasting change that supports the Digital India mission.&quot;


	
	Pioneering Digital Safety Education
	In partnership with the Data Security Council of India (DSCI) for its Cyber for Youth Program, PayU revolutionized cybersecurity education in rural Karnataka. Through engaging activities such as interactive quizzes, poster competitions, and live demonstrations conducted in local languages, covering critical topics including cyberbullying prevention, social media safety, and digital payment fraud awareness. The program&#039;s impact was validated through rigorous pre- and post-assessments, with students showing knowledge improvement rates ranging from 62.5% to 82.3% across different schools.


	
	Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Through Sustainable Livelihood Programs
	By collaborating with NeevJivan NGO, PayU implemented its ‘Model Village Program’ focused on empowering women entrepreneurs in the Nashik, Dahanu, and Jawhar regions of Maharashtra. The initiative introduced sustainable livelihood projects including bee-keeping, mushroom farming, poultry farming, and vermicomposting, providing women with viable alternate income sources.


	
	The program provided comprehensive support including 30-45 days of entrepreneurship training and strategic branding assistance, with products like &quot;Madhu&quot; for honey and &quot;Mastshroom&quot; for mushrooms. The initiative successfully established 14 sustainable projects, with every participating household gaining access to new income-generating opportunities, demonstrating PayU&#039;s commitment to economic empowerment through innovation.


	
	Leadership-Driven Educational Impact
	PayU further strengthened its educational commitment through a strategic partnership with Teach for India. PayU&#039;s senior leaders engaged directly with over 450 students and educators through extended mentorship sessions, facilitating knowledge sharing and providing real-world insights into technology, entrepreneurship, and career development. This initiative reinforced PayU&#039;s belief in leadership-driven social change and the power of direct engagement in shaping young minds.


	
	All these initiatives build upon PayU&#039;s established track record of impactful CSR programs. Last year, the company successfully implemented two major initiatives: the Village Adoption Program under RBI&#039;s framework, which brought digital payment literacy to 5,000 beneficiaries across five villages in Uttar Pradesh under the theme ‘Har Payment Digital’ and the Digital Vans initiative in partnership with MeITY&#039;s CSC, which delivered financial and digital literacy training to over 50,238 citizens in remote areas around Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Gurugram. These programs demonstrate PayU&#039;s consistent commitment to bridging the digital divide and advancing financial inclusion across India&#039;s rural landscape.

<title>How to Use a CAGR Calculator for Long&#45;Term Investment Planning</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-use-a-cagr-calculator-for-long-term-investment-planning</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-use-a-cagr-calculator-for-long-term-investment-planning</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When you invest for many years, the value of your investment may not usually grow at the same rate every year. Some years may see more growth, some may be slow, and some may even be negative. Because of this, it can be difficult to get a simplified view of how your investment has grown over time. This is where CAGR, Compounded Annual Growth Rate, can be useful.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Using a CAGR calculator for investing


	 


	CAGR gives you a single, annualised growth number that smooths out the ups and downs of different years to helps you understand at one glance how an investment has performed over a chosen period. Tools like a CAGR calculator online make estimating this metric process simple and accessible for everyday investors.


	 


	In this article, we’ll walk through what CAGR means. We’ll also look at how to use a calculator to understand potential long-term growth and how it may support planning.


	 


	What CAGR really means


	CAGR is a measure that shows how much an investment would have grown each year if it had increased at a steady rate. Markets are not steady, but CAGR helps you see the overall pace of growth over time. It is especially helpful for long-term investments, where returns can vary year to year.


	 


	It’s important to remember that CAGR reflects historical performance only. It does not indicate future returns, nor does it guarantee any outcome. Investment values can rise or fall based on market conditions.


	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	 


	Why a CAGR calculator is helpful


	Calculating CAGR manually requires a complex formula. A CAGR online makes the process simple by doing the maths for you. All you need to do is enter three basic inputs:


	
		
			Initial investment amount
	
	
		
			Final investment value
	
	
		
			Total investment period
	



	 


	The calculator then shows the annualised growth rate. This makes it easier to compare different investments or to assess how your money has grown over time.


	 


	While it is a useful reference point, it should not be the only factor in choosing investments. Other aspects such as risk level, time horizon, personal financial goals, and market volatility also matter.


	 


	How to use a CAGR calculator step by step


	1. Enter your starting value*


	This is the amount you invested at the beginning of the chosen period. For example, if you invested ₹50,000 in 2018, that is your starting value.


	*For illustrative purposes


	 


	2. Enter the current or final value


	This is how much your investment is worth today or at the end of the period you’re checking.


	 


	3. Enter the time


	This is the number of years that have passed since you made the investment.


	 


	4. Review the CAGR result


	The result will show the average annual growth rate. This helps you understand how your investment has moved over that period, without focusing on short-term ups and downs.


	 


	However, it’s essential to note that CAGR does not reflect market volatility, does not show yearly fluctuations, and should not be taken as a forecast for the future.


	 


	CAGR simply provides a way to understand historical growth in a smooth, annualised form.


	 


	Using CAGR to support long-term planning


	CAGR can be one reference point when you’re thinking about your long-term investment approach. For example, it can help you see how certain investments behaved over longer periods, and whether they aligned with your expectations.


	 


	When used along with other tools and information, it can also help you estimate possible outcomes for your investments, while noting that actual performance will depend on market conditions.


	 


	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	 


	Estimating returns on your SIP


	While CAGR can help estimate returns on lumpsum investments, it may not be suitable for SIP investment plans. A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows investors to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, helping them average out purchase costs and build financial discipline over time. Since SIPs involve multiple cash flows across different dates, the traditional CAGR formula may not capture the true return experience. In such cases, the Extended Internal Rate of Return (XIRR) is often used because it accounts for each instalment’s timing and value. XIRR offers a more realistic measure of returns for irregular cash flows, though it should be interpreted with care as market movements can influence outcomes.


	 


	To calculate XIRR in Excel, you need two columns: one for the dates of each cash flow and another for the corresponding amounts. SIP instalments are entered as negative values (outflows), and the redemption or current value is entered as a positive value (inflow). Once the data is arranged, you can use Excel’s built-in XIRR function. The formula is: =XIRR(values, dates)


	 


	A few points to keep in mind


	
		
			CAGR is backward-looking; it does not predict future performance.
	
	
		
			Two investments with the same CAGR may still have very different levels of volatility.
	
	
		
			A higher historical CAGR does not mean an investment is suitable for every investor.
	
	
		
			Use CAGR as one part of your planning, not the only tool.
	
	
		
			Always consider risks and changes in market conditions.

<description><![CDATA[ Classic Legends adds another milestone to its motorcycling legacy by winning the prestigious Zee Media Auto Awards 2025 for its new Yezdi Roadster. One of 2025’s popular mid-sized motorcycle launches, the Yezdi Roadster was recognised as the “Best 350cc Motorcycle” of the year. Boman Irani, Co-founder, Classic Legends, received the award from the Hon’ble Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Shri Nitin Gadkari.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Boman Irani receives the Best 350cc Motorcycle Award for the YEZDI Roadster from Union Minister Nitin Gadkari at the Zee Media Auto Awards 2025


	 


	The Roadster stands out for its defiant Yezdi design philosophy, a stance built for riders who favour individuality over convention. Its factory-backed custom kits and more than 50 combination options set a new benchmark for personalisation in the 350cc space. Reviewers also called out the modular seating system, switching from solo to dual in minutes, as a rare blend of style and practicality. The Roadster carries forward Yezdi’s benchmark reputation for handling and braking. Its Continental dual-channel ABS, strong front and rear disc setup, and well-judged suspension deliver confident control, while the accessible seat height and balanced ground clearance give it both poise and ease in everyday riding. At its core sits the new 350cc Alpha2 engine paired with a six-speed gearbox and an assist-and-slipper clutch, engineering that brings smooth, eager performance to everyday riding.


	 


	Boman Irani, Co-founder, Classic Legends, said, &quot;Yezdi motorcycles have always been more than machines, they are about the heart of motorcycling. As the custodian of the brand, we draw from a rich legacy and constantly push ourselves to innovate. We made the 2025 Yezdi Roadster to be one of the safest and most multifunctional motorcycles in the Indian subcontinent. The award recognises the undeniable role of the Yezdi Roadster in encouraging the culture of motorcycling because the 350cc segment is one of the fastest growing. We will continue meeting the modern rider&#039;s expectations of machines that combine character with versatility.&quot;


	 


	The win is a testament to the Roadster’s “Born Out of Line” philosophy and Classic Legends’ commitment to building performance classics. The 2025 Yezdi Roadster redefines the heavily competitive roadster category with its bold design, segment-first modular innovations, the liquid-cooled Alpha2 engine and best in class braking and handling. The Yezdi Roadster’s long-haul confidence is supported by an industry-leading warranty and maintenance programme.


	 


	With riders seeking more personalised, meaningful motorcycling experiences, the company continues to shape the future of accessible, character-rich motorcycling culture in India.

<description><![CDATA[ L&amp;T Finance Ltd. (LTF), formerly known as L&amp;T Finance Holdings Ltd., one of the leading Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) in the country, announced its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) rating by CRISIL. The Company achieved an overall ‘CRISIL ESG 70,’ categorised as a ‘Strong’ rating in FY25 and establishing LTF as the highest-rated entity among the listed NBFCs covered by CRISIL. LTF has also been assigned a Core ESG Rating of ‘CRISIL Core ESG 80.’ These scores are based on public disclosures on ESG parameters at the consolidated level and other publicly available information.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	LTF has been a pioneer and an early adopter of various sustainability-related practices


	 


	As per Crisil ESG Ratings, the overall rating can be attributed to the Company’s strong performance on key Environmental (E) and Social (S) parameters, including control over the intensities of Scope 1 and 2 emissions and energy consumption, as well as improved performance on attrition, diversity &amp; inclusion, and stakeholder complaints. Further, it has stated that the Company expanded its scope of disclosures on its Scope 3 emissions and taken initiatives to increase its sustainable finance portfolio, which supported the E score. Furthermore, the rating is aided by a healthy Governance (G) score.


	 


	Mr. Sudipta Roy, Managing Director and CEO, LTF, said, &quot;Our strong ESG ratings are a significant indicator of how we deliver holistic economic, social, and environmental impact through robust governance, an unwavering commitment to sustainability, and our businesses, which address the needs of unserved and underserved customers. It is a direct result of our proactive approach and dedication to transparency and accountability. Additionally, we are among the first NBFCs to conduct a ‘Double Materiality’ assessment and a &#039;Business Impact Study&#039; based on ‘True Value Methodology.’ We remain focused on creating such benchmarks in the NBFC sector.&quot;


	 


	Ms. Apurva Rathod, Company Secretary and Chief Sustainability Officer at LTF, said, &quot;Our commitment to business sustainability is deeply embedded in our strategy. We have been a pioneer and early adopter of various sustainability-related practices, and in many cases, well ahead of regulatory mandates. Our journey transitioned from disclosure-based compliance to building an ESG-conscious organisation, and we are taking significant strides towards it. We have embedded ESG principles across business and operations, ensuring value creation for all our stakeholders.”


	 


	Crisil ESG Ratings is a SEBI-registered Category-1 ESG Rating Provider following a subscriber-pays model and relies solely on publicly available information for its ESG rating assessments. The analytical approach combines the Company’s performance relative to its peers with the financial sector&#039;s impact on the environment and society, while the G score remains sector-agnostic.

<title>How a Systematic Investment Plan may help you build disciplined investing habits</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-a-systematic-investment-plan-may-help-you-build-disciplined-investing-habits</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-a-systematic-investment-plan-may-help-you-build-disciplined-investing-habits</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) allows you to contribute a fixed amount at regular intervals, helping you approach investing in a structured and predictable manner. This approach may support investors who prefer consistency and wish to build investing habits that align with their financial horizon.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	How an SIP can potentially help build a regular investing habit


	 


	By understanding how it works and the factors you may consider, you may be better placed to make informed decisions that suit your needs.


	 


	Understanding how a Systematic Investment Plan works


	A Systematic Investment Plan allows you to invest a chosen amount at a set frequency. This method spreads contributions over time, which may help you participate in the market without relying on one-time investment decisions. You may choose the contribution amount based on suitability, your financial horizon, and the level of market participation you are comfortable with.


	 


	When you explore how a Systematic Investment Plan functions, you may notice that it encourages regular investing rather than timing market movements. This habit-building approach may support long-term financial discipline for investors who prefer systematic contribution patterns.


	 


	Building disciplined habits through regular investing


	One of the important aspects of a Systematic Investment Plan is the consistency it brings. When you contribute regularly, you may be able to focus more on building habits that help you stay committed to your long-term financial approach.


	 


	For example, contributing Rs. 1,000 every month over a few years may show how regular investing builds momentum over time.


	
	This steady pattern may make it easier to stay aligned with your financial goals, while giving you the flexibility to adjust contributions when required.


	 


	*For illustrative purpose only


	 


	How a Systematic Investment Plan may support long-term investing


	A Systematic Investment Plan may help you stay invested across different market phases. When contributions are spread out, the likelihood of staying invested over longer periods may increase. This approach may offer benefits when combined with a clear understanding of risks, your financial horizon, and your expected contribution pattern.


	 


	Investing through a Systematic Investment Plan also aligns with a structured approach to markets. Instead of focusing on short-term changes, you may concentrate on the overall pattern of regular investing. This may make the experience more predictable and may help reduce the impact of short-term volatility on your decision-making.


	 


	Key considerations before starting


	Before starting a Systematic Investment Plan, you may consider factors such as your monthly budget, your investing horizon, and the kind of exposure you are comfortable with. Assessing these elements may help you choose a contribution amount that feels suitable and sustainable over time.


	 


	You may also consider whether you prefer a long-term or medium-term approach. Reviewing your contributions periodically may support better alignment with your financial situation. The objective is to create a steady rhythm that you may comfortably maintain.


	 


	Placing a Systematic Investment Plan within your overall financial approach


	While deciding how a Systematic Investment Plan fits into your financial approach, you may look at how it works alongside other options you are evaluating. The consistency of contributions may complement your savings behaviour, helping you gradually build a market-linked corpus that reflects your investing style.


	 


	In this context, equity mutual funds may be one of the instruments available to implement your Systematic Investment Plan, depending on your suitability and preferences. Understanding how it works within your broader financial framework may support more informed decisions as you plan.


	 


	You may explore funds like equity mutual funds to understand how a systematic investment plan could help.

<description><![CDATA[ Starting a mutual fund investment through an SIP may offer a way to gradually enter the market without relying on large one-time investments. By contributing a manageable amount at regular intervals, you may align investing with your financial rhythm and planning horizon.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Understanding the role SIP plays in mutual fund investing


	 


	This approach may help new investors focus on consistency, review their contributions periodically, and adjust as their goals or circumstances evolve.


	 


	Understanding how an SIP works


	A mutual fund SIP allows you to invest a chosen amount at set intervals, such as monthly or quarterly. This method spreads your contributions over time, helping you avoid relying solely on one-time investment decisions. You may choose the amount and frequency based on suitability, your investment horizon, and your comfort with market fluctuations.


	 


	Starting an SIP is that it encourages systematic investing rather than attempting to time the market. This disciplined approach may help new investors gradually build exposure while aligning with long-term financial objectives.


	 


	How an SIP may support regular investing habits


	One of the key aspects of a mutual fund SIP is the regularity it brings. By contributing consistently, you may develop habits that encourage long-term planning and sustained participation in the market.


	 


	For example, investing Rs. 1,000 every month over several years may demonstrate how steady contributions may grow over time.


	 


	This approach may also provide flexibility to adjust contributions when your financial situation changes, helping you stay aligned with your objectives.


	 


	*For illustrative purpose only


	 


	Benefits of staying invested through an SIP


	An SIP in mutual funds may help investors remain invested across different market conditions. Regular contributions mean that your investments may capture market ups and downs over time, potentially reducing the impact of short-term volatility.


	 


	By staying invested through an SIP, you may focus more on long-term goals rather than short-term market movements. This structured approach may make it easier to maintain discipline and consistency in investing, especially for those new to the market.


	 


	Key factors to consider before starting an SIP


	Before starting an SIP, you may consider factors such as your monthly budget, your financial horizon, and the type of exposure you are comfortable with. Assessing these elements may help you select a contribution amount that is suitable and sustainable over time.


	 


	You may also review your contributions periodically to ensure they remain in line with your financial situation and goals. The objective is to create a rhythm that supports consistent investing without undue pressure.


	 


	Using a mutual fund calculator to plan contributions


	A mutual fund calculator may help you estimate potential outcomes based on your chosen contribution, investment period, and expected returns. By experimenting with different scenarios, you may understand how consistent investing may impact your long-term objectives.                                                                                                                                                                                


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Conclusion


	An SIP provides a structured way for new investors to participate in the market through regular contributions. By helping you build disciplined investing habits, it may support long-term financial planning and gradual wealth creation. Considering factors such as contribution amount, frequency, and your overall financial situation may help you maintain a steady investing approach. Using tools like an SIP calculator online may further support planning and scenario analysis, helping you visualise how consistent contributions may contribute to your financial goals.

<title>Xflow Announces Plans to Multiply Cross&#45;Border Volumes 10x in the Next 18 Months</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/xflow-announces-plans-to-multiply-cross-border-volumes-10x-in-the-next-18-months</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/xflow-announces-plans-to-multiply-cross-border-volumes-10x-in-the-next-18-months</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Xflow, India’s fastest-growing cross-border payments companies, today shared its intent to scale its processing volumes by nearly tenfold over the next 18 months. The company’s expansion roadmap builds on strong momentum from Indian IT/ITES exporters, fintech platforms, and its recent RBI in-principle authorization for the PA-CB licence.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Anand Balaji, Co-Founder, Xflow


	
	Over the last year, Xflow has seen increasing adoption from SMEs, enterprises, and fintech platforms looking for transparent, predictable, and compliance-first international payments. Businesses are increasingly moving away from legacy correspondent routes and opaque forex structures, opting instead for faster settlement, clearer pricing, and 24x7 support in compliance.


	
	Xflow recently received in-principle authorisation from the RBI to operate as a cross-border online payment aggregator (PA-CB) -  boosting its credibility as a regulated fintech for cross-border transactions.


	
	“What we are witnessing is not just growth in adoption - it’s a fundamental change in how Indian businesses expect cross-border payments to work,” said Anand Balaji, Co-founder, Xflow. “There is a new baseline for speed, transparency, and compliance, and exporters are no longer willing to compromise. Our goal over the next 18 months is to build the scale and infrastructure needed to meet this demand and enable better pricing and platform infrastructure to growing businesses.”


	
	Exporters using Xflow report faster settlement times, multi-currency capabilities, and clarity on charges that previously impacted working capital and revenue planning. For many, the move has been transformational. A leading IT consultancy shared, “Switching to Xflow gave us predictability we didn’t have before. We know exactly what we’re receiving and when it will land, and that reliability has helped us expand into two new markets this year.”


	
	Xflow recently announced a new service called “Compliance Desk” to ensure seamless &amp; stress-free compliance for exporters. Through this desk, exporters can outsource the complex compliance work related to foreign inward remittances. In parallel, Xflow recently launched FX AI Analyst, an AI-powered tool intended to help businesses with data-driven FX decisions. Through FX AI Analyst, companies can track USD/INR trends, get data-driven insights, and make informed currency conversion decisions - aimed at maximising returns per dollar for exporters. 


	
	Xflow’s upcoming growth phase includes strengthening its global banking partnerships, deepening its FX intelligence engine, expanding corridor coverage, and investing in platform integration capabilities for marketplaces. The company emphasized that its scale-up strategy remains focused on reliability, compliance, and building the most trusted cross-border infrastructure for Indian exporters.
	 


	About Xflow
	Xflow is a leading cross-border payment platform dedicated to simplifying and securing international fund reception for Indian freelancers, SMEs, and global enterprises. Focused on transparency and speed, Xflow utilizes advanced API technology and institutional partnerships to deliver next-generation payment infrastructure.


	
	Xflow’s commitment to security and compliance is validated by its In-Principle Authorization from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), ISO 27001, and SOC 2 certifications. All transactions on the platform are powered by the infrastructure of J.P. Morgan Chase, ensuring bank-grade safety and reliability. Xflow&#039;s mission is to empower India’s digital economy by making global payments frictionless. ]]></description>

<title>Projecting your investment journey with an SIP calculator</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/projecting-your-investment-journey-with-an-sip-calculator</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/projecting-your-investment-journey-with-an-sip-calculator</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ An SIP calculator helps you estimate how regular investments may grow over time and gives a way to test different savings plans. By entering the monthly amount, an expected rate of return and the investment horizon, you may get an indicative view of what your systematic contributions might become, which may help you plan goals such as retirement, education or a large purchase.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Planning your investments with an SIP calculator


	 


	What is an SIP calculator


	An SIP calculator is a digital tool that projects the potential value of recurring investments made through an SIP. It uses your monthly contribution, an annualised rate of return converted to a monthly rate, and the investment duration to compute the compounded value over time. The output is an estimate that may help you compare different contribution levels and time horizons.


	 


	How the calculator computes projected value


	Behind the scenes, the SIP calculator applies a compounding formula to monthly SIP investments and accumulates returns over each period. The result shows the likely trajectory of your savings if the assumed return materialises. Because the projection relies on an assumed rate, actual outcomes may differ from the estimate.


	 


	For example, if you invest Rs. 5,000 every month for 10 years at an assumed annual return of 12% (converted to a monthly rate for calculation), the tool will show an estimated corpus at the end of the term.


	 


	For illustrative purpose only.


	 


	Why use an SIP calculator


	An SIP calculator helps you convert financial goals into actionable monthly contributions. You may choose a target amount and use the calculator to see the monthly contribution needed, or you may enter an amount you can afford to check the potential outcome. This flexibility makes it easier to plan and prioritise objectives, such as building an emergency corpus or funding a child’s education.


	 


	Because the tool is simple to use, it may also help maintain discipline, seeing how small, regular amounts accumulate may encourage you to sustain contributions over the long term.


	 


	What inputs to consider


	When you use an SIP calculator, think about the quality of the inputs:


	
		
			Monthly contribution: Choose an amount that fits your budget and financial commitments.
	
	
		
			Investment horizon: Longer horizons generally increase the potential benefits of compounding, though markets may remain volatile.
	
	
		
			Assumed return: Use a conservative and realistic estimate based on your asset mix and time horizon. performance: Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.
	



	 


	Adjusting these inputs helps you assess different scenarios and decide whether you may need to increase contributions or extend the horizon.


	 


	Common ways investors use the output


	Many people use an SIP calculator to set realistic targets, check whether existing saving habits may meet goals, and compare an SIP against a lumpsum investment for the same objective. The output may also help in rebalancing time horizons and contribution levels when life events alter income or expenses.


	 


	Behavioural benefits of using a calculator


	Beyond numbers, the tool may support positive habits. Regularly checking progress may nudge you to stay invested through market cycles, review your asset allocation and increase contributions when feasible. It may also help you resist short-term impulses by showing the long-term effect of continuity.


	 


	Integrating the calculator into planning and how to invest


	Use the calculator as one input in a broader plan. You may choose an appropriate fund category and time horizon and consider tax implications and liquidity needs before you pick a plan. If your goal is to invest in mutual fund schemes, the SIP calculator may help you decide the monthly amount and horizon that align with that goal.


	 


	Conclusion


	An SIP calculator is a potential way to estimate how disciplined, regular investing may accumulate over time. By testing different contribution levels, return assumptions and tenures, you may arrive at a plan that suits your needs and time horizon. Keep in mind that the output is illustrative; periodic reviews and adjustments may be required as your circumstances or markets change.


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>How to use an SWP calculator for a systematic withdrawal plan</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-use-an-swp-calculator-for-a-systematic-withdrawal-plan</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-use-an-swp-calculator-for-a-systematic-withdrawal-plan</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ A systematic withdrawal plan helps you convert an investment corpus into a steady stream of cashflow while keeping exposure to markets. An SWP calculator is a simple tool that may help you estimate periodic withdrawals, the likely longevity of your corpus and the potential impact of assumed returns. This article explains how to use an SWP calculator, what inputs to check, and how to interpret results so you may make more informed decisions.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Using an SWP calculator for your finances


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	What is an SWP calculator


	An SWP calculator is an online or spreadsheet-based tool that models periodic withdrawals from a mutual fund investment corpus. It uses inputs such as your initial corpus, withdrawal amount and frequency, assumed rate of return and time horizon to project how long the corpus may last. The output helps you understand trade-offs between withdrawal size and sustainability without giving any guarantees.


	 


	Key inputs to enter


	When you use an SWP calculator, check these inputs carefully:


	
		
			Initial corpus: The total amount you must start with. Enter the net amount available for withdrawal.
	
	
		
			Withdrawal amount and frequency: Monthly, quarterly or annual withdrawals, choose the option that fits your cashflow needs.
	
	
		
			Assumed rate of return: Use a reasonable estimate for expected returns over your horizon. Use conservative assumptions if you prefer caution.
	
	
		
			Time horizon: How many years you expect to run withdrawals or leave this open to see how long the corpus may last.
	
	
		
			Inflation adjustment: Some calculators allow you to adjust for inflation; if available, use it to view real purchasing power.
	



	 


	Always double-check that figures are in the correct units (for example, annualised percentage for returns) before proceeding.


	 


	How to run the calculation


	
		
			Enter the initial corpus and the withdrawal amount (for example, Rs. 10,000 monthly).
	
	
		
			Select the withdrawal frequency, monthly is the most common for retirement-style income.
	
	
		
			Input the assumed annual return (for instance, 6–8% nominal). Choose an assumption that reflects your risk tolerance and asset allocation.
	
	
		
			Choose whether withdrawals are fixed nominal amounts or inflation indexed.
	
	
		
			Run the calculation to view projected corpus longevity, balance trajectories and any summary tables the tool provides.
	



	Example: If you start with a corpus of Rs. 10,00,000 and withdraw Rs. 10,000 monthly at an assumed return of 7% per annum, the calculator will show how the corpus may reduce over time and the approximate number of years it may last.


	 


	For illustrative purpose only


	 


	How to interpret results


	Outputs from an SWP calculator typically include the projected remaining corpus over time and the estimated number of years the corpus may support the chosen withdrawal. Treat these outputs as scenarios rather than promises. Key points to note:


	
		
			If the projected corpus declines rapidly, you may choose to reduce the withdrawal or reconsider the assumed return.
	
	
		
			If the corpus grows or sustains the withdrawals, the assumptions may be generous; examine whether they match your risk preference.
	
	
		
			Use multiple scenarios, conservative, moderate and optimistic assumptions, to understand the range of possible outcomes. Using scenario analysis may increase clarity about downside risk.
	



	 


	Common pitfalls to avoid


	
		
			Relying on a single assumed return. Markets fluctuate; a single figure may not capture variability.
	
	
		
			Forgetting tax and costs. Some withdrawals may trigger tax events or incur fund charges that reduce net income.
	
	
		
			Ignoring inflation. Fixed nominal withdrawals may lose purchasing power over time unless adjusted.
	



	 


	Using results to design your withdrawal plan


	An SWP calculator may help when combined with broader planning. Use it to test withdrawal sizes and frequencies that match your lifestyle needs. If you find the corpus may not last if required, you may choose to lower withdrawals, adjust asset allocation, or consider partial annuitisation depending on your objectives and constraints.


	 


	Secondary considerations


	A systematic withdrawal plan should align with your overall financial goals and risk tolerance. Review your withdrawal strategy periodically and re-run the SWP calculator after major life events or market shifts to see how projections change. Use the exercise to set realistic expectations about income sustainability and the likelihood that your corpus may meet long-term needs.


	 


	Conclusion


	An SWP calculator is a practical way to model how withdrawals may affect your corpus over time. It helps you compare options, run scenario analyses and set withdrawal levels that may better match your income needs. Use conservative assumptions, account for taxes and inflation, and review results periodically so your plan may remain aligned with changing circumstances.


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/growthcap-ventures-leads-pre-series-a-round-in-navanc-indias-first-ai-native-banking-infrastructure-company</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Navanc, set to become India’s pioneering AI-native banking infrastructure company, has raised close to ₹6 crore in its Pre-Series A round led by GrowthCap Ventures, an operator-led early-stage VC fund founded by ex-BharatPe executive Pratekk Agarwaal. The round also saw participation from leading bankers and technologists, including Navin Kukreja (Founder, Paisabazaar), Gaurav Aggarwal, former CXO at Paisabazaar , Prasanna Rao a Co-founder of Arya.ag, and a diverse group of Bay Area and UAE based angels.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Navanc raises its Pre-Series A round, led by GrowthCap Ventures; to create AI native underwriting infrastructure for Secured Lending


	 


	The investment comes at a pivotal time as India’s financial services sector undergoes a fundamental shift in the adoption of AI across secured lending, risk assessment, and underwriting. With secured lending and Micro-LAP emerging as strategic priorities for Banks, HFCs, and NBFCs, AI-driven infrastructure is rapidly becoming a necessity rather than an option.


	 


	Navanc is a real-estate credit underwriting and intelligence platform built for secured lending products including LAP, home loans, and MSME credit. Its product stack digitizes and standardizes property diligence, enabling faster, compliant loan origination, revaluation, and portfolio monitoring. Anchored in an AI-first architecture, Navanc’s offerings — including VALLE, nLite, nAI and nRERA — are redefining how financial institutions assess property-led loans including Home Loans, Secured Working Capital Loans and Loan Against Property.


	 


	With a long-term vision to build India’s first AI-native lending infrastructure ecosystem, Navanc is moving beyond traditional software to deliver intelligent, self-improving infrastructure that transforms how institutions understand risk, make decisions, and serve customers.


	 


	“India is entering a decisive decade where AI will become the backbone of credit infrastructure,” said Nagachethan SM, Co-Founder and CEO of Navanc.


	 


	“Our mission is to build the AI infrastructure layer that financial institutions can trust as the foundation of their loan journey across business-credit-risk functions,” added Byom Kesh Jha, Co-Founder and CT&amp;DO.


	 


	Navanc currently a B2B product and works with 30+ customers across the financial ecosystem, including Small Finance Banks (SFBs), NBFCs, and HFCs — demonstrating the platform’s versatility and depth across secured lending.


	 


	GrowthCap Ventures, known for its operator-first investment approach, brings deep domain expertise in building financial infrastructure businesses. The fund’s team has spent decades shaping risk, underwriting, collections, and credit technology stacks across India’s leading financial institutions.


	 


	“Secured lending is undergoing a structural reset, and AI-native infrastructure will define the next leap of efficiency, speed, and compliance,” said Pratekk Agarwaal, Founder &amp; General Partner at GrowthCap Ventures.


	 


	“Navanc is solving a problem we’ve experienced firsthand as operators. Their AI-first property intelligence stack can become the default standard for Banks, HFCs, and NBFCs. At GrowthCap, we back founders who build with purpose and precision — and Navanc is leading this transformation.”


	 


	The newly raised capital will be deployed to accelerate product development, expand Navanc’s AI capabilities, strengthen the team, and deepen market penetration as demand surges across the secured credit ecosystem. ]]></description>

<title>Why valuations and fundamentals make the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund suitable today</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-valuations-and-fundamentals-make-the-bajaj-finserv-banking-and-financial-services-fund-suitable-today</link>

<description><![CDATA[ The financial sector plays a crucial role in supporting India’s growth story. As the economy expands, financial institutions, from banks to insurers, are seeing structural shifts in how they operate and grow. The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund aims to offer investors an opportunity to participate in this evolving sector through a diversified approach that looks beyond just banking. With valuations below long-term averages and improving fundamentals, this may be a suitable time to explore the fund.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Service Fund NFO: Closing soon


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund NFO opens on Monday, November 10, 2025, and closes on Monday, November 24, 2025. The scheme will reopen for subscription within five business days from the date of allotment.


	 


	A suitable entry point backed by fundamentals


	Valuations in India’s banking and financial services sector are currently below their 14-year average, creating a potentially favourable entry point for investors looking at long-term participation. Lower valuations often indicate that market prices may not fully reflect the sector’s improving fundamentals.


	 


	At the same time, asset quality across banks and non-banking financial companies has been showing signs of improvement. With reduced non-performing assets and more disciplined lending practices, the overall health of balance sheets appears to be strengthening. This improving asset quality, coupled with stable earnings visibility, may provide a supportive environment for long-term investors.


	 


	Additionally, profitability within the sector has been healthy, aided by expanding credit demand, operational efficiency, and the growing contribution of fee-based income streams. Together, these trends point towards a sector that is steadily consolidating its financial strength.


	 


	Source: NSE Data as on Sep 30, 2025, ACE Equity PAT


	 


	Curated from structural sector trends


	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund follows a curated approach, shortlisting 45–60 stocks from a universe* of around 180 - 200 companies. These companies are selected based on their alignment with long-term structural trends shaping the financial services industry.


	 


	Rather than focusing on short-term market movements, the fund’s strategy is designed to identify businesses positioned to benefit from India’s evolving financial ecosystem. This includes companies that demonstrate operational resilience, robust fundamentals, and the potential to adapt as the sector transforms through technology and innovation.


	 


	By diversifying across well-researched sectors, the fund aims to balance growth opportunities with prudent risk management, providing investors exposure to the broader financial landscape.


	 


	* The portfolio count is indicative, and actual number will depend on market conditions at the time of making investment.


	 


	
		Aligned with India’s BFSI megatrends

	
		India’s financial services industry is undergoing a transformation, driven by multiple megatrends that are reshaping how people access and manage money. Digital finance continues to expand rapidly, supported by platforms such as UPI and the wider adoption of digital lending. Initiatives like Jan Dhan have accelerated financial inclusion, bringing millions of individuals into the formal financial system.

	
		 

	
		At the same time, non-banking financial companies, mutual funds, and insurance providers are seeing greater traction as more Indians seek diversified financial products. These developments have broadened the scope of the sector, making it more dynamic and inclusive than ever before.

	
		 

	
		The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund seeks to align with these long-term structural drivers, providing investors exposure to businesses that may potentially benefit from this transition.

	
		 

	
		Source: MOFSL, Press Information Bureau, CareEdge

	
		 

	
		Broad-based exposure across financial subsectors

	
		The fund’s portfolio extends beyond traditional banking. It offers broad-based exposure across multiple financial subsectors, banks, NBFCs, insurance companies, asset management companies, and other participants in the capital markets.

	
		 

	
		Such diversification helps the fund participate in various growth sectors within the BFSI space rather than relying solely on one segment of the market. By investing across different financial services businesses, the fund may aim to mitigate impact of volatility that sometimes arises in sector-specific investments.

	
		 

	
		This approach also reflects the interconnected nature of India’s financial ecosystem—where lending, investments, and insurance collectively contribute to economic progress.

	
		 

	
		Conclusion

	
		The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund aims to offer exposure to one of India’s most dynamic sectors, financial services. With valuations currently below the 14-year average, improving asset quality, and healthy profitability, the sector appears well-placed from a fundamentals perspective.

	
		 

	
		For investors looking to participate in the long-term evolution of India’s BFSI ecosystem, the fund presents an opportunity to consider. It may provide diversified exposure to multiple financial subsectors, reflecting the broader story of inclusion, innovation, and digital growth shaping India’s economy.

<title>SabPaisa Shatters Records with 14&#45;Product Launch in Single Day, Powered by AI&#45;Human Collaboration</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/sabpaisa-shatters-records-with-14-product-launch-in-single-day-powered-by-ai-human-collaboration</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/sabpaisa-shatters-records-with-14-product-launch-in-single-day-powered-by-ai-human-collaboration</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In an unprecedented move that is set to redefine industry benchmarks, SabPaisa (SRS Live Technologies Pvt. Ltd.), India&#039;s RBI-approved payment aggregator, today announced the simultaneous launch of 14 enterprise-grade products across its platform. The feat was accomplished by just 13 team members in just 20 days – achieving what industry giants typically require multiple quarters and significantly larger teams to deliver. 


	
	The record-breaking launch, led by Founder &amp; CEO Kumar Manish and Co-founder Abhimanyu Jha, reflects the company’s vision to leverage AI-human collaboration as the foundation of modern product development.


	
	SabPaisa, a bootstrapped fintech company serving government departments, educational institutions, and businesses across India, has been pioneering an AI-First approach that is transforming how financial technology is built and deployed. The launch, which spans core payment infrastructure, operations and compliance tools, and merchant analytics platforms, represents what industry observers are calling a &quot;watershed moment&quot; in how technology companies operate in the AI era.


	
	What makes this achievement particularly remarkable is the company&#039;s revolutionary development approach: each product was built using an &quot;AI-First&quot; approach where individual developers paired with advanced AI systems to architect, develop, test, and deploy production-ready solutions at unprecedented speed.


	
	Adopting a “prototype-first” development cycle, instead of using the traditional approach, the team redefined their process to move directly from ideas to a working prototype using AI tools. Each prototype was then internally launched for testing and “dogfooding,” where employees across functions provided real-time feedback. The products were iterated rapidly based on both qualitative and quantitative input, with high-usage prototypes prioritised for rollout and low-engagement ones refined further. This continuous feedback loop helped the company accelerate development while ensuring precision and quality at every stage.


	
	&quot;We&#039;re not competing on marketing spend or team size anymore – we&#039;re competing on intelligence and speed,&quot; said Abhimanyu Jha. &quot;What we&#039;ve demonstrated today is that a bootstrapped company with the right approach can deliver in one day what well-funded competitors deliver in months. This isn&#039;t about replacing humans with AI – it&#039;s about fundamentally reimagining what becomes possible when you stop treating AI as a tool and start treating it as a collaborative force.&quot;


	
	The company has mandated that every team member engage with AI development, dissolving traditional barriers between product, engineering, marketing, and operations. This organisational restructuring has enabled SabPaisa to operate with a velocity and efficiency previously thought impossible for bootstrapped companies competing in a space dominated by venture-backed giants.


	
	&quot;When cars were first invented, Karl Benz didn&#039;t create steel horses with engines inside them – he completely reimagined transportation. We&#039;re doing the same at SabPaisa,&quot; Jha added. &quot;When you transform your entire organisation around AI as the foundation rather than as an add-on, the constraints that defined what&#039;s possible for decades simply evaporate.&quot;


	
	With this launch, SabPaisa is not just shipping products – it&#039;s proving that in the AI era, competitive advantage belongs to those who reimagine their organisations from first principles.

<title>Invest Beyond Banks with the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund</title>

<description><![CDATA[ As an investor, you may already know that India’s financial sector extends beyond banks today. Over the years, it has grown to include a wide range of businesses such as non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), insurers, asset managers, and fintechs. The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund aims to offer an opportunity to participate in this wider financial ecosystem.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Look beyond banking with Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund NFO live now 


	
	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund, an open ended equity scheme, seeks to invest in companies that are part of this evolving financial landscape. The New Fund Offer is currently live since Monday, November 10, 2025, and will close on Monday, November 24, 2025. The scheme will reopen for subscription within five business days from the date of allotment.


	
	The evolving BFSI landscape
	The Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector has long been central to India’s growth. But its structure has changed. As of 2025, banks make up about 57% of the sector’s market capitalisation, compared to 85% in 2005.


	
	This shows how other parts of the financial system have grown to become important contributors. NBFCs are serving diverse credit needs, fintechs are making financial access simpler, insurers are expanding coverage, and asset managers are enabling more people to invest. Together, they are helping shape a more balanced financial sector.


	
	Source: MOFSL Report as published in April 2025


	
	What’s driving this shift
	Several trends are behind this shift. Digitisation has made financial products easier to access and manage. Fintech innovation has simplified how people borrow, invest, and insure. Retail participation has grown as more individuals look to plan their financial goals through investments.


	
	At the same time, demand for different financial services, from insurance to investments, continues to grow as incomes rise and awareness improves. These factors have made BFSI a more diverse and dynamic part of India’s economy.


	
	Source: MOFSL Report as published in April 2025


	
	The sector’s growing presence in the market
	The market’s response to this transformation is visible in the data. Over the past 20 years, the BFSI sector’s weight in the Nifty 50 has increased 2.6 times, from 14.6% in FY04 to 37.9% in July 2025. During the same period, its market capitalisation has grown from Rs. 1.8 trillion to Rs. 91 trillion.


	
	This steady rise reflects formalisation, stronger credit participation, and growing investor confidence. Many large business groups have also expanded beyond lending into areas such as insurance and asset management, recognising how the financial services space has diversified.


	
	Source: MOFSL Report as published in April 2025


	
	Why consider investing beyond banks
	For investors, this broader growth means opportunities extend beyond traditional banking. The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund invests across different areas within the BFSI sector, from banks and NBFCs to insurers, asset managers, and fintechs.
	By doing so, it offers exposure to multiple drivers of India’s financial growth rather than focusing on one segment alone. Investors who wish to align their portfolios with the structural changes shaping India’s financial system may find such a diversified approach suitable for long-term investing.


	
	Conclusion
	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund gives you a way to look beyond banks and invest in the wider financial services sector. With exposure across NBFCs, insurers, fintechs, and asset managers, it reflects how the BFSI space has evolved and continues to grow.


	
	For investors with a long-term perspective, this may be a suitable way to participate in India’s expanding financial landscape.

<description><![CDATA[ India’s growth journey is being powered by the rapid digitalisation of its financial system. From mobile-based payments to online lending and financial inclusion initiatives, technology is transforming how people access, use, and benefit from financial services. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Be a part of India’s digital finance growth story with Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund NFO live now


	
	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund, an open ended equity scheme, seeks to invest in companies that are part of this evolving financial landscape. The New Fund Offer is currently live from Monday, November 10, 2025, and will close on Monday, November 24, 2025. The scheme will reopen for subscription within five business days from the date of allotment.


	
	How UPI is driving digital payments at scale
	Over the past few years, India has emerged as a leader in digital transactions. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has made sending and receiving money as simple as scanning a code. This ease of use has helped drive a sharp increase in transaction volumes and values.


	
	UPI transaction value has grown nearly five times, from Rs. 41 trillion in FY21 to Rs. 236 trillion in FY25. What started as a convenience in cities is now a part of everyday life even in smaller towns. Non-cash transactions among Indian households are expected to rise from 38% in FY23 to 62% in FY28, showing how digital payments are becoming a preferred mode of transaction.


	
	This shift has strengthened the digital foundation of India’s financial system, making it more inclusive, efficient, and accessible.


	
	Source: MOFSL, Press Information Bureau, CareEdge, Mobikwik, Redseer


	
	Digital lending expands financial access
	Technology is also reshaping how credit reaches people and businesses. Digital lending platforms have opened new ways for individuals and small enterprises to borrow, often with faster processing and fewer barriers.


	
	By FY28, Tier 2 and smaller cities are expected to contribute more than 80% of digital lending disbursements, estimated at around USD 60 billion. This shows that credit is no longer limited to metros or large institutions. The rise of fintech-led lending is helping people with limited credit history or lower credit scores gain access to funds, especially for personal loans and small business needs.


	
	Such innovations are helping bridge long-standing credit gaps and support broader economic activity.


	
	Source: Mobikwik RHP, Redseer, Internal; Reserve Bank of India Documents, Boston Consulting Group Report


	
	Jan Dhan Yojana strengthens financial inclusion
	While technology has driven innovation, government-led initiatives have strengthened access. The Jan Dhan Yojana is one of India’s most significant steps towards inclusive finance. Over the last decade, the number of Jan Dhan accounts has grown nearly 18 times—from 33 million in FY14 to 540 million in FY24. These accounts have accumulated deposits worth Rs. 2.3 trillion.


	
	By connecting millions to the formal banking system, Jan Dhan has laid the foundation for direct benefit transfers. Subsidies, pensions, and other payments now reach beneficiaries directly, reducing leakages and improving efficiency.


	
	This growth has deepened financial inclusion, ensuring that more people have access to basic financial services such as savings, credit, and insurance.


	
	Source: Reserve Bank of India, Periodic Labour Force Survey (2023), GSMA (2023)


	
	Fintech’s role in connecting the underserved
	Fintech companies are playing an important role in making finance more inclusive. They are using data, mobile technology, and digital platforms to reach people who may not have had easy access to financial products earlier.


	
	Fintechs have introduced innovative lending models that assess creditworthiness based on alternative data. They have higher participation among borrowers who are new to credit and among women entrepreneurs. With the growth of mobile internet and India Stack, fintech-led lending has expanded quickly, helping more people build credit histories and participate in formal finance.


	
	By offering faster, simpler, and more customised financial solutions, fintechs are helping drive financial inclusion and consumer empowerment across India.


	
	Source: Reserve Bank of India Documents, Boston Consulting Group Report


	
	Investing in India’s financial megatrends
	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund invests in businesses aligned with long-term financial megatrends such as UPI adoption, digital lending growth, and financial inclusion through fintech and Jan Dhan initiatives. The fund’s portfolio* of 45–60 stocks is curated from around 180 - 200 companies that form part of India’s BFSI megatrend universe.


	
	*The portfolio count is indicative, and actual number will depend on market conditions at the time of making investment.


	
	By investing across banks, NBFCs, insurers, asset managers, and fintechs, it offers exposure to multiple growth drivers within India’s financial sector. For investors looking to align their portfolios with the digital transformation of India’s financial landscape, this fund may offer a suitable entry point.


	
	Source: Mobikwik RHP, Redseer, Internal; MOFSL Report as published in April 2025


	
	Conclusion
	Digital finance is reshaping India’s economic landscape—from UPI payments to digital lending and Jan Dhan inclusion. Fintech innovation continues to expand access and efficiency, making financial services available to more people than ever before.


	
	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund aims to offer a way to participate in these long-term shifts. By investing in companies that are part of India’s expanding digital finance ecosystem, the fund provides exposure to structural growth trends that may define the country’s financial future.

<description><![CDATA[ As an investor, one of the key considerations in your financial journey may be to strike a balance between potential returns and your overall investments. Sector-focused funds may be a way to do this, as they allow you to channel your money into parts of the economy that may drive future growth. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund Live now 


	
	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund takes this approach by offering exposure across India’s expanding financial ecosystem, including banks, NBFCs, insurers, asset managers, and fintech companies.


	
	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund NFO period opens on Monday, November 10, 2025, and closes on Monday, November 24, 2025. The scheme will reopen for subscription within five business days from the date of allotment.


	
	Let’s discuss what may make this fund a suitable fit for you.


	
	A long-term investment outlook
	If you’re an investor with a long-term horizon, the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund may offer a suitable opportunity to participate in India’s growth story. The country is projected to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030, with an estimated GDP of around USD 7.3 trillion, supported by trends such as digitalisation, infrastructure development, and a young, aspirational workforce.
	As this growth unfolds, India’s financial system will be central to sustaining it. Estimates suggest that financial assets may need to expand nearly 20 times their current size, with banks potentially adding about USD 4 trillion in capital over the next two decades. Such expansion may create a multiplier effect across the economy, opening avenues for investors seeking long-term participation in the financial services sector.


	
	Sources: The Economic Times, Reuters, The Times of India (July–August 2025), Press Information Bureau, International Monetary Fund, World Bank, Boston Consulting Group analysis.


	
	Exposure to India’s BFSI opportunity
	If you wish to participate in the growth potential of India’s Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector, a potential enabler of the country’s economic expansion, the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund may be considered. The sector plays a pivotal role in driving capital mobilisation, improving credit access, and strengthening digital and financial inclusion.


	
	Over the past few years, credit disbursement to priority sectors has risen by about 85% since 2019, UPI transaction values have grown nearly fivefold in four years, and microfinance portfolios now reach close to 79 million borrowers. India’s credit-to-deposit ratio remains healthy at around 79%, reflecting robust financial intermediation.


	
	Together, these developments highlight how the BFSI sector continues to support India’s growth by efficiently converting household savings into productive economic activity, a trend that long-term investors may consider as part of their portfolio strategy.


	
	Sources: MOFSL, Press Information Bureau, CareEdge


	
	Focused and research-driven approach
	If you understand sectoral investing and are comfortable with short-term fluctuations while aiming for potential long-term growth, the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund may be suitable for you. The fund focuses exclusively on financial services and follows a research-driven investment process.


	
	It begins with a total stock universe of around 1,100 companies, which is first filtered using a megatrends lens to identify about 180–200 BFSI companies. From there, the fund applies its proprietary InQuBe framework to select 45–60 stocks for the final portfolio.


	
	This disciplined approach helps identify opportunities across various segments of BFSI while managing concentration risk through diversification.

	Diversified within financial services
	If you are looking for diversification within the financial services sector, the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund offers this opportunity. Over the years, India’s BFSI sector has evolved into one of the key pillars of the economy, witnessing a more than 50-fold rise in market capitalisation, from Rs. 1.8 trillion in 2005 to Rs. 91 trillion in 2025, reflecting a CAGR of about 22%. Its contribution to GDP has also increased from 6% to 27%, supported by regulatory reforms, greater formalisation, and wider financial participation.


	
	This growth has been broad-based across key segments. Banks have strengthened their fundamentals, with GNPA levels declining from 5.8% to 2.2% and credit costs falling from 1.3% to 0.4%. NBFCs have recorded steady growth, with net worth expanding at around 15% CAGR and profit after tax at 32% CAGR, now contributing nearly 18% of BFSI earnings. The insurance sector’s AUM has grown tenfold since FY07 to Rs. 61.6 trillion, while mutual fund AUM has increased 45 times in two decades, with the AUM-to-GDP ratio rising from 7% to 19.9%.


	
	By investing across these diverse sub-sectors, the fund may help investors participate in the broader growth potential of India’s financial services ecosystem.

	Aligned with structural growth trends
	If you want to invest in the megatrends shaping India’s financial future, the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund offers exposure to sectors aligned with these long-term shifts.


	 


	
		
			Technology: Non-cash transactions are expected to rise from 38% in FY23 to 62% in FY28, with Tier 2 and smaller cities likely to drive over 80% of digital lending disbursements.
	
	
		
			Economic inclusion: Jan Dhan accounts have expanded nearly 18 times in the past decade to 540 million, with deposits of around Rs. 2.3 trillion, strengthening the foundation for financial inclusion.
	
	
		
			Demographic growth: As nearly 75% of Indian households move into middle- and high-income segments by 2030, the demand for credit, insurance, and investments may continue to grow.
	
	
		
			Social transformation: Fintech innovation is widening credit access, especially for new-to-credit individuals and women entrepreneurs.
	



	
	Through its diversified exposure, the fund may help investors participate in these structural trends that are reshaping India’s financial ecosystem.

	Suitable entry point in the BFSI sector
	If you are evaluating when to add sectoral exposure to your portfolio, the current environment in the BFSI space may be suitable. Valuations within the sector are presently below their 14-year averages, while fundamentals remain stable. Over the past two decades, the sector’s weight in the Nifty 50 has increased 2.6 times, now standing at around 37.9%.


	
	Banks today account for about 57% of the BFSI market capitalisation, compared to nearly 85% in 2005 — reflecting rising opportunities in NBFCs, insurers, and asset managers. With improving asset quality, steady profitability, and expected credit growth following the RBI’s 100 bps repo rate cut, this phase may offer investors a suitable entry point into the BFSI sector.

	Conclusion
	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund may suit investors with a long-term outlook who want to participate in India’s financial growth story. With diversified exposure across banks, NBFCs, insurers, and fintechs, the fund offers a structured way to invest in sectors driving the economy forward. 


	
	With its research-driven investment framework and diversified portfolio of 45–60 companies, the fund aims to capture opportunities emerging from structural shifts such as digitalisation, financial inclusion, and rising income levels.


	
	It is advisable to talk to an investment advisor before taking a financial decision.

<description><![CDATA[ Consumers taking personal loans for festive expenses are increasingly prioritising instant disbursals and convenient end-to-end digital processes over traditional factors like interest rates, revealed a new survey by Paisabazaar, India’s leading marketplace for consumer credit and other financial products.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Quick and hassle-free instant loans were the top factor influencing lender choice, followed by low interest rates and a smooth digital process


	
	According to the survey, conducted among over 10,200 respondents, 42% of consumers said they chose their lender for quick disbursal with minimal documentation, while 25% said lowest interest rates was the most important factor while choosing an offer - underscoring a shift toward speed and simplicity in borrowing behaviour.


	
	A large majority — 80% of respondents — said they prefer guided digital platforms like Paisabazaar for loan comparison and application, with 53% citing faster approvals and disbursals as the top factor that would make borrowing even easier.

	Growing Adoption of Festive Personal Loans
	The survey showed that 41% of respondents took a personal loan for festive expenses for the first time, indicating new adoption in this category. 46% said they are very likely to take a personal loan again in festive seasons, reflecting rising confidence in personal loans as a convenient and reliable financing option.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Home renovation, electronics, and gold purchases were the most common loan uses this season

Other key categories included gold and jewellery (12%), debt consolidation (10%), and fashion and lifestyle shopping (10%) — highlighting the diverse financial needs of consumers during this period.

<description><![CDATA[ India’s financial ecosystem is expanding in step with the country’s broader growth trajectory. Structural shifts in technology, demographics, regulation, and inclusion continue to reshape how Indians save, borrow, insure, and invest. These long-term drivers are creating opportunities for institutions across the Banking Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) space.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund NFO open


	 


	Investors seeking exposure to this evolving segment may consider exploring suitable options such as the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund, an open ended equity scheme investing in the Banking and Financial Services sector.


	 


	The New Fund Offer opens on Monday, November 10, 2025, and closes on Monday, November 24, 2025. The scheme reopens for subscription within five business days from the date of allotment.


	 


	India’s evolving financial landscape


	India is projected to become the world’s third-largest economy by 2030, with an estimated GDP of USD 7.3 trillion. This expansion is underpinned by megatrends such as digitalisation, demographic growth, and increasing formalisation of the economy.


	 


	For India’s GDP to grow meaningfully, the financial system must keep pace. Estimates suggest that the banking industry will need to add USD 4 trillion in capital over the next two decades to support the expansion of financial assets and credit.


	 


	The BFSI sector plays a central role in this transformation through capital mobilisation, credit growth, and digital access. For instance, credit disbursement to priority sectors rose 85% from Rs. 23 lakh crores in 2019 to Rs. 42.7 lakh crore in 2024, while UPI transaction values grew nearly fivefold from Rs. 41 trillion in FY21 to Rs. 236 trillion in FY25.

	Shifts shaping the BFSI sector


	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund is designed to identify companies positioned to benefit from India’s structural financial trends:


	 


	1. Technology 
	India’s transition towards digital finance continues to accelerate. Non-cash transactions are projected to rise from 38% in FY23 to 62% in FY28, with Tier 2 and smaller cities expected to account for over 80% of an estimated USD 60 billion in digital lending disbursements by FY28.


	2. Economic
	The number of Jan Dhan accounts has grown nearly 18× over the past decade, from 33 million in FY14 to 540 million in FY24, mobilising deposits of around Rs. 2.3 trillion. These accounts have improved access to savings and enabled direct benefit transfers.


	3. Demographic
	India’s working-age population is set to rise over the next two decades, driving demand for credit, insurance, and investments. By 2030, around 75% of Indian households are expected to fall into middle- and high-income categories, expanding the addressable market for financial products.


	4. Social 
	Fintech firms are broadening credit access for individuals and small businesses, particularly those with limited credit history. Their growing presence in segments such as personal loans and MSME lending highlights the role of innovation in expanding financial reach.

	Opportunities across the financial value chain


	The BFSI sector has undergone significant expansion over the past two decades. Its market capitalisation has risen 50× from Rs. 1.8 trillion in 2005 to Rs. 91 trillion in 2025 growing from 6% to 27% of India’s GDP.

			NBFCs have strengthened their presence with net worth growing ~15% CAGR and profit ~32% CAGR, accounting for 18% of total BFSI earnings in FY24.
	
	
		
			Insurance has scaled rapidly, with life insurance AUM rising ~10× since FY07 to Rs. 61.6 trillion. India is projected to become the 6th largest insurance market by 2032.
	
	
		
			Capital markets have expanded with India now ranking 4th globally by market capitalisation.

	How Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund aligns with these shifts


	The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund seeks to invest across a wide spectrum of companies participating in India’s financial transformation. It draws from long-term sectoral trends and focuses on diversification beyond traditional banking:


	
		
			Curated exposure*: 45–60 stocks shortlisted from ~200 companies within the BFSI megatrends universe.

<description><![CDATA[ India’s financial sector continues to evolve with structural shifts across technology, policy, demographics, and social behaviour. These long-term trends, often referred to as megatrends, are reshaping how individuals save, borrow, spend, and invest.

	
		 

	
		
			
				
					
			
		
	

	
		How Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund captures megatrends

	
		 

	
		Investors looking to participate in this evolving landscape may consider exploring the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector through suitable options such as the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund.

	
		 

	
		The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund New Fund Offer opens on Monday, November 10, 2025, and closes on Monday, November 24, 2025. The scheme reopens for subscription within five business days from the date of allotment.

	
		 

	
		Understanding the Banking and Financial Services sector

	
		The BFS sector includes banks, non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), insurance providers, fintech firms, and capital market participants that facilitate the movement of money and credit in the economy. Supported by ongoing reforms and digital innovation, the sector continues to evolve, broadening access and participation across customer segments.

	
		 

	
		Technology: UPI and digital payments transforming financial transactions

	
		India’s digital transformation is redefining how transactions take place. Non-cash transactions for Indian households are projected to increase from 38% in FY23 to 62% in FY28. Tier 2 and smaller cities are expected to drive over 80% of the estimated USD 60 billion in digital lending disbursements by FY28.

	
		 

	
		Fintech innovations are reshaping how payments, lending, and investments are delivered, creating opportunities for companies that enable this digital shift. Funds identifying such businesses may help investors participate in the potential long-term growth of India’s financial digitalisation.
		Source: Mobikwik RHP, Redseer, Internal

	
		 

	
		Economic: Financial inclusion through Jan Dhan expansion

	
		Financial inclusion continues to be an area of focus for policymakers. The number of Jan Dhan accounts has risen nearly 18 times, from 33 million in FY14 to 540 million in FY24, mobilising deposits of around Rs. 2.3 trillion. These accounts have also supported the direct transfer of benefits to citizens, improving efficiency in welfare delivery.

	
		 

	
		The expanding formal banking base supports higher deposit mobilisation and credit penetration, key enablers for the BFS sector. The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund seeks opportunities in such areas where structural and policy tailwinds align with business growth.
		Sources: Reserve Bank of India, Periodic Labour Force Survey (2023), GSMA (2023)

	
		 

	
		Demographic: A growing working-age population and rising prosperity

	
		India’s young workforce continues to influence consumption and savings patterns. A larger share of households is entering middle- and high-income categories, with projections suggesting that nearly 75% may fall within these groups by 2030.

	
		 

	
		This expanding income base is expected to drive higher adoption of credit, insurance, and investment products. The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund looks to identify businesses that may benefit from these evolving demographic trends.

<description><![CDATA[ India’s financial sector has been evolving in tandem with the country’s economic progress. The focus has been on strengthening financial intermediation, expanding inclusion, and advancing digital transformation.
		 

	
		
			
				
					
			
		
	

	
		Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund NFO coming soon
		 

	
		The upcoming Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund offers investors an opportunity to participate in India’s expanding financial ecosystem through an equity-oriented scheme focused on the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) sector.
		 

	
		The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund New Fund Offer opens on Monday, November 10, 2025, and closes on Monday, November 24, 2025. The scheme re-opens for subscription within five business days of the allotment date.
		 

	
		Looking at the BFSI sector 

	
		India is projected to become a USD 7.3 trillion economy by 2030. The financial ecosystem supports this expansion by enabling savings mobilisation, credit growth, and digital access. For India’s GDP to reach USD 30 trillion by 2047, financial assets would need to expand nearly 20 times. This implies that India’s banking system may require an estimated USD 4 trillion in additional capital over the next two decades to support credit growth and investment needs.
		 

	
		At the same time, the Banking, Financial Services and Insurance sector has been evolving rapidly:
		 

	
		1. Banks now account for 57% of the sector’s market capitalisation, compared to 85% two decades ago.

	
		2. The sector’s weight in the Nifty 50 index has increased 2.6 times - from 14.6% in FY04 to 37.9% in July 2025.

	
		3. Prominent financial groups have diversified into insurance, asset management, and fintech, signalling the sector’s expanding scope.
		 

	
		Source: MOFSL, NSE data as on July 31, 2025 PIB, Bloomberg, IMF, World Bank, CEBR estimates
		 

	
		What are Banking and Financial Services Funds?

	
		These are sectoral equity schemes that invest primarily in companies operating across banking, insurance, non-banking finance, asset management, fintech, and related financial services. Such schemes aim to capture opportunities arising from financial deepening, inclusion, and digitalisation trends shaping India’s economy.
		 

	
		About the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund

	
		The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund is an open ended equity scheme investing in companies that are part of India’s financial ecosystem. The fund seeks to identify businesses that align with long-term structural trends in the BFSI space and may benefit from sectoral growth over time.
		 

	
		The portfolio construction follows a multi-step process*:

	
		INQUBE universe – a broad stock universe of around 1,100 companies.

	
		Megatrend filter – identifies large structural shifts in the economy.

	
		BFSI megatrends universe – narrows this down to about 180–200 companies.

	
		Final portfolio – 45–60 shortlisted companies aligned with long-term BFSI themes.
		 

	
		*The portfolio count is indicative, and actual number will depend on market conditions at the time of making investment.
		 

	
		Key differentiators of the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund

	
		Broad-based exposure
		The fund invests across banks, NBFCs, insurers, AMCs, and other capital market participants - providing exposure beyond lending-focused businesses.
		 

	
		Aligned with India’s BFSI megatrends
		The scheme is designed around multiple structural themes such as:
		 

	
		Digitalisation: UPI and digital payments continue to expand financial access. Non-cash transactions among Indian households are expected to rise from 38% in FY23 to 62% in FY28.
		 

	
		Financial inclusion: The number of Jan Dhan accounts has grown nearly 18 times over the last decade - from 33 million in FY14 to 540 million in FY24, with total deposits reaching Rs. 2.3 trillion. These accounts have supported direct benefit transfers across schemes.
		 

	
		Demographics: With over 40% of India’s population below 25 years of age, the growing working-age population and rising income levels are expanding demand for credit, insurance, and investment products.
		 

	
		Fintech innovation: Fintech-led lending continues to enhance credit access, especially for new-to-credit borrowers and women entrepreneurs.
		 

	
		Valuations and outlook: Valuations within the BFSI sector remain below 14-year averages, while asset quality and earnings visibility have improved.

		Why consider a Systematic Investment Plan

	
		Investors looking to participate in India’s long-term financial growth story may consider starting a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in the Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund. An SIP allows you to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals and may help manage market volatility through rupee cost averaging.
		 

	
		You may use an SIP Calculator to plan your monthly contributions and understand how your investment could progress toward your long-term financial objectives. The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It provides only an indicative picture based on assumed rates of return.

	
		
		Conclusion
		India’s economic transformation is being supported by a financial system that is becoming more digital, inclusive, and diversified. The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund offers an avenue to gain exposure to these long-term structural trends. Investors may consider this scheme as part of a diversified portfolio, in line with their financial goals and risk appetite.

<title>Deepavali Demand and GST Bachat Utsav Push Vehicle Sales to Record Highs: Shriram Mobility Bulletin</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Truck rentals remained firm across key trunk routes
	
	
		
			The deferral of entry ban of non-BS VI vehicles into NCR by 1 year rejoiced truckers
	
	
		
			Entry ban of BS-II &amp; BS-III vehicles continues in the NCR region from Nov 1
	
	
		
			Arrival of Kharif crop produce bolstered truck movement
	
	
		
			GST Bachat Utsav lifted sales of all vehicle categories
	
	
		
			Poor agriculture and mining offtake dented diesel consumption
			 
	



	The October edition of the Shriram Mobility Bulletin reflects a strong rebound in India’s mobility ecosystem driven by festive consumption, rural freight activity, and accelerating electric vehicle adoption. Vehicle sales witnessed sharp month-on-month growth across categories, supported by pent-up demand and improved liquidity in the retail and transport ecosystem.


	 


	Truck rentals remained firm across key trunk routes in October. The Delhi–Mumbai–Delhi corridor saw the sharpest month-on-month increase at 1.9%, followed by Delhi–Hyderabad–Delhi up 1.0%, Bengaluru–Mumbai–Bengaluru and Kolkata–Guwahati–Kolkata both up 0.7%, Mumbai–Chennai–Mumbai up 0.6%, and Bengaluru–Kolkata–Bengaluru up 0.5%. Rentals on Delhi–Kolkata–Delhi and Delhi–Bengaluru–Delhi remained unchanged, while Delhi–Chennai–Delhi and Mumbai–Kolkata–Mumbai registered minor dips of 0.5% and 1.0%, respectively. On a year-on-year basis, truck rentals were higher by 2–10% across major corridors, led by Bengaluru–Mumbai–Bengaluru 10% YoY, followed by Delhi–Mumbai–Delhi, Delhi–Hyderabad–Delhi, Mumbai–Chennai–Mumbai, and Kolkata–Guwahati–Kolkata each up 9% YoY. Entry restrictions on non-BS VI vehicles into NCR continued to tighten fleet availability, while heavy rains in North India briefly disrupted truck movement even as the arrival of Kharif crops helped bolster freight demand.


	 


	Fuel consumption reflected a mixed trend. Petrol consumption rose 8% month-on-month and 7% year-on-year, driven by festive travel, while diesel consumption increased 12% MoM but remained marginally lower by 0.5% YoY due to reduced demand from agriculture and mining sectors.


	 


	FASTag collections saw a temporary dip month-on-month, with volumes declining by 3.8% and values by 4.4% to Rs. 6,450 crore, indicating some moderation in intercity freight movement. However, on a year-on-year basis, FASTag volumes and values grew 1% and 5%, respectively, signalling continued growth in toll-based transactions.


	 


	Vehicle retail sales recorded a broad-based recovery in October, with nearly all categories registering double-digit month-on-month growth. Goods carriers surged 58% MoM and 23% YoY, while three-wheeler (goods) and e-rickshaw sales rose 59% and 16% MoM, respectively, supported by last-mile delivery and urban logistics demand. Two-wheeler sales soared 144% MoM and 52% YoY as festive buying peaked. Passenger car sales also climbed 83% MoM and 11% YoY, reflecting strong consumer sentiment. Even traditionally cyclical segments like earth moving equipment and agricultural tractors saw month-on-month gains of 44% and 10%, respectively, highlighting the spillover from infrastructure and rural activity.


	 


	Electric vehicle (EV) sales were among the strongest ever, marking October as a record month across categories. E-2 wheelers jumped 40% MoM and 39% YoY, while E-3 wheelers grew 16% MoM and 324% YoY, reflecting continued traction in passenger and cargo EV adoption. EV motor cars rose 13% MoM and 158% YoY, underscoring the mainstreaming of electric mobility in both urban and semi-urban markets.


	 


	Mr. Y S Chakravarti, CEO and Managing Director, Shriram Finance Ltd. said, &quot;Deepavali delivered exceptional results, with truck rental rates remaining firm and automotive sales across all categories achieving record highs. The focus now is on sustaining this momentum, although a moderation in vehicle demand is anticipated in the coming weeks.”


	 


	E-way bill generations maintained their upward trajectory, indicating robust movement of goods. Intra-state generations rose 2% MoM and 25% YoY to 8.58 crore, while inter-state e-way bills increased 6% MoM and 18% YoY to 4.62 crore. Transaction values grew 7% MoM and 19% YoY for intra-state and 8% MoM and 13% YoY for inter-state, signaling sustained consumption and supply chain recovery across sectors.

	TVS Motor Company Makes a Stellar debut at EICMA, unveils 6 new products across ICE and electric powertrains
	 


	Adjacent to the TVS pavilion, is the resurgent, “new” Norton range, built on timeless values of design, dynamism and detail, reimagined for a new generation of riders. Over the last five years, TVSM has invested £200 million in reviving the legendary brand – one built on 127 years of history, innovation and racing glory. Norton is now ready to redefine premium motorcycling!


	 


	TVSM’s product showcase at EICMA is headlined by (a) TVS Tangent RR Concept – a revolutionary supersport bike with a monocoque subframe (b) TVS eFX three o – the company’s most powerful electric motorcycle concept yet (c) TVS M1-S – the company’s first electric maxi scooter (d) TVS Apache RTX 300 – a new benchmark in the adventure tourer segment (e) TVS X – the born electric, lean, aerodynamic machine, packed with segment first innovations and (f) TVS RTR HyprStunt Concept – a revolutionary new concept for everyday urban sports motorcycles. 


	 


	Commenting on TVSM’s maiden appearance at EICMA, Sudarshan Venu, Chairman, TVS Motor Company, said, “TVS is a business built over 100 years - a commitment to customer delight, quality and a focus on innovation and technology. Today, we are amongst the top global manufacturers of two-wheelers with a significant market share in over 50 countries. 35 percent of our revenues come from outside India. As TVSM debuts at EICMA, we underline our ambition to serve customers in Europe with passion, precision and pride. With the prowess of our existing portfolio, the six new unveils, the capability from our four centres of excellence in India, Indonesia, Bologna and UK and a new resurgent Norton, we are ready to write a new chapter.” 


	 


	Drawing on decades of racing success and trusted by millions of riders, the new TVS Tangent RR Concept is the harbinger of a revolutionary super sport design that leverages over four decades of TVS Racing’s competitive track experience. Its monocoque subframe is crafted from intelligent composites that heightens its aerodynamics and boosts performance. The TVS Tangent RR Concept pushes the envelope delivering a combination of aggressive performance and class-leading features never before seen in India’s motorcycle landscape.


	 


	Joining the TVS Tangent RR Concept in the spotlight is the TVS eFX three o electric motorcycle concept that reimagines the electric motorcycle performance. Crafted for the modern urban rider its futuristic silhouette channels raw electric power through a design that is taut, minimalistic yet expressive, intelligent yet visceral. Building on the success of the TVS iQube, India’s largest selling EV, the TVS eFX three o has been engineered to set new benchmarks in street motorcycling underlining the company’s aspiration to not just match global benchmarks but surpass them.


	 


	Expanding the Track to Road Legacy: RTR HyprStunt Concept


	Building on TVSM’s core track to road philosophy at EICMA 2025 is the TVS RTR HyprStunt Concept. This sharply styled, tech-forward urban sportsbike opens an entirely new segment in India, bridging everyday practicality with the heritage of TVS racing. For younger riders and city enthusiasts, it has been crafted for precision stunt riding and urban aggression - a bold mechanical expression that sets new benchmarks in lightweight, agile and urban ready riding dynamics. 


	 


	Complementing these at EICMA, is the recently launched TVS Apache RTX 300, which has opened new frontiers for adventure tourers. This marks the most significant expansion of the TVS Apache nameplate in its 20th year reinforcing its position as India’s gold standard for speed, excitement and reliability. The TVS Apache RTX 300 will hit the roads in Europe in Q1 2026.


	 


	Electric Innovation


	Alongside its stars, TVSM also showcased the smart, advanced EV TVS X and TVS M1-S electric maxi scooter that are engineered for new-age global urban riders. Together, they reiterate TVS’s drive to create two-wheelers for any journey for any rider in any continent. The two EVs would be launched in Europe by the end of 2026.


	 


	At EICMA, TVS Motor has also unveiled the AR enabled Heads Up Display (HUD) Helmets in partnership with Swiss startup Aegis Rider. The Aegis Rider vision helmet keeps the rider’s focus on the road and uses spatial anchoring and AR technology to display vital information through a heads-up display with first of its kind patented technology. The AR display enhances situational awareness with real-time navigation, hazard alerts, and call notifications without distracting the rider - marking a quantum leap in enhancing riding experience and smart connectivity. 


	 


	Among the connected technologies that enhance the rider-machine compatibility, TVSM has displayed the integration of Android Auto with the TVS X console, powered by TVS SmartXonnect. This connectivity suite offers riders effortless wireless pairing, smart navigation, hands-free calling, and entertainment via Google Assistant, perfectly blending the demands of modern urban life with seamless mobility. Also on display, is the TVS iQube integrated to Smartwatch, redefining the way riders connect with their vehicles. This integration connects the TVS iQube electric scooter with a special edition smartwatch, to provide real-time access to critical updates, including vehicle status, battery insights, tyre pressure, and safety alerts, along with a plethora of native watch features.


	 


	TVS Motor Company’s expansive lineup at EICMA 2025 also features a broad spectrum of market-leading products that underscore the company’s unmatched ability to serve every rider segment. This includes the TVS Jupiter, the TVS NTORQ, the TVS Raider and the TVS TVS iQube. TVSM’s flagship mid-size sportsbikes - the fully faired TVS Apache RR 310 and the naked street sportbike TVS Apache RTR 310 - along with a limited-edition carbon fiber variant of the TVS Apache RR 310 and a Build-to-Order customized TVS Apache RTR 310 variant are also on display. TVSM has showcased two versions of the TVS Ronin roadster - one standard and another dressed with a full accessory kit - catering to lovers of neo-retro styling. Two elegant and technologically advanced e-bikes are also drawing plentiful attention.


	 


	Also, on show is TVSM’s extensive range of premium merchandise and accessories reflecting its racing heritage and lifestyle appeal.

<title>TIGER 21, Premier Peer Membership Network for Ultra&#45;High&#45;Net&#45;Worth Individuals, Launches Two New Groups in India with Mumbai and Bengaluru</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/tiger-21-premier-peer-membership-network-for-ultra-high-net-worth-individuals-launches-two-new-groups-in-india-with-mumbai-and-bengaluru</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/tiger-21-premier-peer-membership-network-for-ultra-high-net-worth-individuals-launches-two-new-groups-in-india-with-mumbai-and-bengaluru</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ TIGER 21, the premier peer-to-peer community for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, has announced its expansion into India with the launch of three new Groups in Mumbai and Bengaluru.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	TIGER 21


	 


	
	The global organization, whose 1,700+ Members collectively control over $200 billion in personal assets, has appointed three prominent Indian entrepreneurs to lead its India expansion: Vikaash Khdloya, Founder of Boundless Capital (Bengaluru 01 Chair), Pritam Doshi, Founder of Quark Solar (Mumbai 01 Chair), and entrepreneur-author Manoj Gursahani (Mumbai 02 Chair).


	
	“India is at an inflection point for wealth preservation and purpose,” said Tim Daniels, President &amp; CEO of TIGER 21. “As the country’s ultra-wealthy population expands and new family offices emerge, there’s a growing focus on governance, succession, and legacy. Our platform connects India’s wealth creators with global peers who’ve navigated similar transitions, fostering a true exchange of ideas and experience.”


	
	India’s wealth ecosystem is undergoing rapid transformation, with the number of ultra-high-net-worth families expected to rise from about 13,000 today to nearly 19,000 by 2028, according to industry data. The family-office landscape has expanded sevenfold since 2018 from roughly 45 to more than 300 as families formalize investment and governance structures.


	
	A recent HSBC Global Private Banking report estimates that India’s 334 billionaires are preparing to pass on around US$1.5 trillion in wealth over the next decade more than one-third of the nation’s GDP illustrating the sheer scale of capital transition now underway and the growing importance of well-structured wealth transfer strategies.


	
	TIGER 21 addresses this gap directly, by facilitating over 140 confidential peer meetings each month across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, where Members present their complete asset allocations for group review, debate succession strategies, and share hard-won lessons on everything from next-generation wealth education to impact investing and ESG integration.


	
	Unlike traditional wealth advisors or groups, TIGER 21’s Groups are capped at 15 Members who meet monthly in confidential settings. Members present their entire financial lives (asset allocations, family dynamics, succession concerns) for peer review and feedback. The model has proven transformative; Members report better investment returns, stronger family governance, clearer succession plans, more purposeful philanthropy, and confidence navigating complex wealth decisions that traditional advisors often can&#039;t address.


	
	For Indian Members, the value proposition is threefold: immediate access to 1,700+ global peers who&#039;ve collectively navigated billions in wealth transfers, proven frameworks for professionalizing family offices, and cross-border investment insights that most Indian entrepreneurs can&#039;t access elsewhere.


	
	The India launch follows TIGER 21&#039;s recent expansion into Lisbon, Milan, Dubai and Singapore.  Through TIGER 21’s global meeting network, Indian Members will engage in a dynamic exchange of best practices, contributing local insights to the global UHNW community while further developing India’s own wealth ecosystem.


	
	With India poised to become one of the world&#039;s largest wealth markets, TIGER 21&#039;s entry signals both the growth of the country&#039;s family office sector and its ultra-wealthy families in seeking world-class peer learning and governance frameworks.


	
	About TIGER 21
	TIGER 21 is the premier peer-to-peer learning network for ultra-high-net-worth wealth creators and preservers. With over 1,700 Members globally, TIGER 21 operates in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, facilitating over 140-member meetings each month. Its mission is to help successful wealth creators navigate the challenges and opportunities of wealth through confidential, high-trust learning Groups that draw on global expertise in investing, governance, and next-generation planning. ]]></description>

<title>SIG Tattva (Home to Hindware) Invests INR 6 Crore in Mad Over Buildings (MOB), a Fintech&#45;Enabled B2B E&#45;Commerce Platform for Building Materials</title>

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/sig-tattva-home-to-hindware-invests-inr-6-crore-in-mad-over-buildings-mob-a-fintech-enabled-b2b-e-commerce-platform-for-building-materials</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In a move to bridge critical gaps in India’s construction supply chain, Tattva, the Corporate Venture Capital (CVC) arm of Somany Impresa Group (home to Hindware), today announced a strategic investment of INR 6 crore in Mad Over Buildings (MOB), a fintech-enabled B2B e-commerce platform specializing in building materials.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	(L-R): Vivek Kumar, Founder Mad Over Building and Shashvat Somany, Founder, Tattva and Group Strategy Head, Somany Impresa Group


	 


	This partnership gives MOB access to Hindware’s extensive distribution network, accelerating market penetration and expanding its footprint across India’s fast-growing construction ecosystem. MOB’s tech-enabled Line of Credit for secondary and tertiary sales and escrow-backed marketplace addresses financing challenges for smaller distributors and retailers, enhancing liquidity and enabling seamless transactions. The platform is focused on emerging architects, contractors, and builders, providing an untapped market opportunity. Hindware, through this partnership will leverage MOB’s vast and expansive e-commerce prowess to drive stronger sales momentum across categories.


	 


	“Our investment in MOB reflects Tattva’s strategic vision to not only participate in, but actively shape the future of India’s building materials ecosystem,” said Mr. Shashvat Somany, Founder, Tattva and Group Strategy Head, Somany Impresa Group. “MOB’s approach to digitizing the supply chain, coupled with its innovative financing solutions, perfectly aligns with our objective of fostering technology advancements that drive efficiency and unlock new growth avenues across Hindware Limited. This investment underscores our commitment to staying at the forefront of market innovation and supporting solutions that empower our vast network and the industry at large.”


	 


	Mr. Sriharsha Bandaluppi, Head of Tattva said, “MOB’s strong connect to mid and low-segment architects, contractors, and builders, a segment often overlooked by larger players, is exciting. Their &#039;Industry 1st tech-enabled Line of Credit&#039; for secondary and tertiary sales is a game-changer. It directly empowers Hindware’s distributors and dealers by improving access to financing and driving faster transaction cycles, while simultaneously accelerating MOB’s market reach and growth.”


	 


	The investment in MOB is strategically timed to leverage the rapid evolution of India’s construction technology and materials procurement landscape. The building materials sector represents a high-growth industry with a clear pathway to profitability, yet its digital adoption remains at just 2%, highlighting immense untapped potential for platforms like MOB to drive digital transformation and gain market share.


	 


	Mr. Vivek Kumar, Founder Mad Over Building said, “With Hindware’s INR 6 crore investment through Tattva, we are doubling down on our vision to digitize India’s US$200 billion construction and interiors industry. MOB is creating the country’s first curated Line-of-Credit and escrow-backed marketplace, unifying every category from civil materials to sustainable and interior solutions under one transparent ecosystem. Having built MOB from the ground up, I believe this marks India’s inflection point in Construction Tech, where capital, technology, and trust converge to create exponential value over the next decade.”


	 


	About Tattva 


	SIG Tattva, the corporate venture capital arm of Somany Impresa Group, empowers visionary founders and transformative startups. Inspired by the Sanskrit word “Tattva” – meaning essence, principle, or fundamental truth – the platform reflects a commitment to truth, excellence, and progress.


	 


	Focusing on early-stage ventures in deep-tech manufacturing, enterprise SaaS, clean technologies, next-generation e-commerce, and disruptive product innovations, SIG Tattva goes beyond capital to provide strategic guidance, industry access, and operational expertise. By bridging entrepreneurs with real-world industrial ecosystems, it aims to accelerate breakthrough ideas and strengthen India’s deep-tech innovation landscape.


	 


	About MOB


	Mad Over Buildings (MOB), founded by visionary entrepreneur Kumar Vivek, is scaling India’s first curated Line-of-Credit, escrow-backed payment system, and full-stack material catalogue, including sustainable construction and interior materials. MOB is transforming how architects, contractors, and developers transact digitally, transparently, and at scale. The platform is rapidly emerging as a leading Construction-Tech venture in India. ]]></description>

<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/high-value-festive-spends-take-the-spotlight-42-spent-over-rs-50000-on-their-credit-cards-this-diwali-paisabazaar-survey</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/high-value-festive-spends-take-the-spotlight-42-spent-over-rs-50000-on-their-credit-cards-this-diwali-paisabazaar-survey</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 91% planned purchases around card offers; cashback was the most valued reward
	



	
		
			
				48% preferred a mix of online and offline for their Diwali spends
				 
		
	

	
		A survey by Paisabazaar, India’s leading marketplace for consumer credit and other financial products, revealed that over 42% of credit card users spent more than Rs. 50,000 on festive shopping this year, underscoring a growing appetite for high-value purchases. 22% of the respondents spent between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 1 lakh, while 20% spent above Rs. 1 lakh on their credit cards during Diwali.
		 

	
		The survey with over 2300 respondents revealed that home appliances (25%), mobiles, gadgets &amp; accessories (23%), and apparel (22%) were the top three spend categories on credit cards in the festive season, followed by furniture and décor (18%). Gold &amp; jewellery also accounted for 12% of credit card spends during Diwali. The survey indicated increasing use of credit cards to make high-ticket purchases more rewarding.
		 

	
		
			
				
					
			
		
	

	
		Over 42% spent above Rs. 50,000 this Diwali, with home appliances, gadgets, and apparel leading festive credit card purchases
		 

	
		Santosh Agarwal, CEO, Paisabazaar, said, “The surge in high-ticket festive purchases through credit cards reflects a growing affinity towards value and convenience. Consumers are using credit cards more strategically, timing their big-ticket buys to coincide with festive season deals and card-specific rewards. Our survey clearly shows rising consumer awareness along with growing popularity of credit cards.”
		 

	
		The survey findings also showed that over 91% of the credit card users planned their purchases around card offers, whereas less than 10% said that they shopped without waiting for specific deals and relied on their card’s standard cashback or rewards structure. This shows that festive buying decisions are becoming increasingly value-driven, with consumers aligning their larger purchases to maximise benefits from credit card offers and ongoing promotions.
		 

	
		Credit card benefits continued to be a key motivator for using cards in festive spending. A majority (71%) of respondents held shopping-specific credit cards offering cashback and rewards. Another 15% received festive offers despite not owning such cards, while 14% did not gain any shopping-related benefits.
		 

	
		With nearly 20% of the respondents opting for it, cashback came out as the most popular credit card incentive. Co-branded offers (19%) and accelerated reward points (18%) were the other major motivators. Among those opting for EMIs, No-Cost EMI remained the top motivator with 56% opting for it, followed by 29% who were attracted by better discounts and 10% using just EMIs to spread payments over time.
		 

	
		The survey also revealed 48% respondents preferred a mix of online and offline shopping, signalling a clear shift in how cardholders approach festive spending. Channels no longer limit consumers; instead they seek savings and convenience – often using e-commerce platforms for better offers and offline stores for product experience before purchase.
		 

	
		
			
				
					
			
		
	

	
		91% of users planned festive buys around card offers, with most finding the best deals online and preferring a mix of shopping channels
		 

	
		Rohit Chhibbar, Head of Credit Cards, Paisabazaar, said, “This year’s survey reflects the rise of the strategic and value-aware shopper, who plan their purchases around credit card offers and are comfortable across both online and offline channels, seeking to maximize the value of the cards they hold. Cashback, rewards, no-cost EMI, coupled with merchant discount, continue to make credit cards an essential part of festive shopping.”
		 

	
		Furthermore, 83% of the respondents said that they found the best deals and discounts on e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Flipkart as compared to only 7% of the cardholders who found more value at physical stores.
		 

	
		
			
				
					
			
		
	

	
		 Amazon and Flipkart led festive shopping preferences, followed by Myntra and Meesho
		 

	
		
			The survey reaffirmed the dominance of Amazon and Flipkart as the two leading e-commerce platforms; 43% of the respondents revealed their preference for these two platforms. Myntra and Meesho followed closely at 15% and 10% respectively, whereas Ajio, Nykaa, Zepto and Tata Cliq collectively accounted for a 32% share.

<title>Xflow Introduces Flexible Payment Solutions to Help SMB Exporters Navigate Global Trade Challenges</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/xflow-introduces-flexible-payment-solutions-to-help-smb-exporters-navigate-global-trade-challenges</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Xflow, a leading cross-border payments fintech, today announced the launch of its new flexible, flat-fee pricing plans designed specifically for India’s small and mid-sized exporters. The offering aims to help IT and ITeS businesses cut cross-border payment costs by more than half, gain greater control over foreign exchange (FX), and protect margins amid ongoing global trade uncertainty.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Anand Balaji, Co-Founder and CEO, Xflow


	
	With shifting global trade policies and volatile FX markets, many Indian SMB exporters continue to lose 2-3% of their margins solely to payment fees. Most smaller companies also lack the know-how or negotiating power to secure better pricing or treasury features from traditional banks.


	
	Xflow’s new pricing model directly addresses these challenges. It introduces simple, transparent flat-fee plans that give businesses full visibility into their costs while letting them choose the model that works best for them.


	
	“Small businesses are often at the wrong end of the pricing curve and end up paying significantly higher fees per dollar than larger enterprises,” said Anand Balaji, CEO and Co-founder of Xflow.


	
	Xflow, recently received the RBI’s in-principle authorization for a PA-CB license, is already trusted by over 12,000 freelancers and small businesses. The new plans are part of Xflow’s mission to make global money movement simpler, smarter, and more affordable for India’s growing export economy.


	
	“With our new plans, a freelancer can pay an all-inclusive flat fee of just USD 12 on a USD 2,000 invoice, and a small business can opt for a USD 20 flat fee on a USD 5,000 invoice - a structure that brings predictability, transparency, and cuts payment costs by more than half,” he further added.


	
	The cross-border payment landscape is evolving rapidly in India and smarter businesses are latching onto better solutions to gain a competitive advantage in a tricky business atmosphere. Having said that, everyone, is hoping for friendlier global trade policies to return quickly.


	
	About Xflow

<title>Investing in the Future: How Global Megatrends are Shaping Tomorrow&amp;apos;s Opportunities</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/investing-in-the-future-how-global-megatrends-are-shaping-tomorrows-opportunities</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/investing-in-the-future-how-global-megatrends-are-shaping-tomorrows-opportunities</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Every generation witnesses shifts that redefine the world around us, how we live, work, and invest. These long-term, transformative forces are called megatrends. They go beyond market cycles and may influence economies, industries, and investment opportunities for years to come.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Tracing the forces shaping tomorrow’s investment opportunities


	
	For investors, understanding these megatrends may provide valuable perspective on where the world is headed, and how portfolios may evolve to keep pace with it.


	
	What are megatrends and why they matter
	Megatrends are large-scale changes that unfold gradually but have lasting impact. They may include developments in technology, demographics, environment, or consumption. While daily market movements may fluctuate, these long-term forces quietly shape the direction of global growth.


	
	For example, the rise of automation, cleaner energy, and digital infrastructure are not short-term themes, they are fundamental shifts influencing how companies and economies function.


	
	Recognising such trends may help investors focus on what drives real value over time, rather than being distracted by short-term volatility.


	
	Major global megatrends influencing investment opportunities
	Several megatrends are already reshaping the global economy. Some of the most significant include:


	 


	
		
			Technology and innovation: Artificial intelligence, automation, and data-driven tools are changing the way businesses operate and consumers interact. These developments may create opportunities in IT services, semiconductors, and digital platforms.
	
	
		
			Sustainability and energy transition: The move toward renewable energy and responsible consumption is redefining industries such as transport, power, and manufacturing. The shift may open avenues in electric mobility, clean technology, and sustainable materials.
	
	
		
			Demographic and social change: Aging populations in some economies and younger demographics in others are altering healthcare, housing, and spending trends worldwide.
	
	
		
			Urbanisation and infrastructure: With more people living in cities, there’s rising demand for affordable housing, efficient transport, and digital connectivity. These needs may drive growth in infrastructure and logistics-related sectors.
	



	
	Each of these megatrends points to long-term themes that may outlast economic cycles, offering investors a broader context for identifying opportunities.


	
	Aligning megatrends with investment strategy
	Spotting megatrends is only one part of the equation. The key lies in translating them into a diversified investment strategy.


	
	For example, while technology and sustainability are driving change, their influence varies across sectors and companies. A balanced approach that spreads investments across different market segments, large, mid, and small caps, may help investors benefit from these evolving themes while managing risk.


	
	Diversification may also reduce the effect of short-term volatility, allowing investors to stay focused on the bigger picture.


	
	Flexibility through diversified investing
	Funds with a flexible investment approach, such as a flexi cap fund, may help investors participate in different opportunities created by megatrends.


	
	A flexi cap fund invests across large, mid, and small cap companies subject to minimum investment in equity &amp; equity related instruments of 65% of total assets, allowing the fund manager to shift allocations based on where potential opportunities appear. This flexibility may help capture long-term themes like technological innovation or infrastructure expansion, while maintaining a balanced exposure across market segments.


	
	For investors looking to align with future growth stories, such diversified funds may offer a suitable way to participate in megatrend-driven opportunities. However, it’s important to remember that all market-linked investments carry risk, and outcomes may vary depending on market conditions.


	
	Conclusion
	The world is being reshaped by powerful megatrends that influence everything from technology to lifestyle. For investors, understanding these shifts may help focus on long-term opportunities rather than short-term noise.


	
	By aligning portfolios with these structural themes, through diversified solutions such as a flexi cap fund, investors may build a portfolio that stays relevant as the world evolves. While no strategy guarantees results, staying informed and adaptable may help investors prepare for tomorrow’s possibilities today.


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>From Impulse to Insight: Building Better Investment Habits Through Behavioral Awareness</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/from-impulse-to-insight-building-better-investment-habits-through-behavioral-awareness</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/from-impulse-to-insight-building-better-investment-habits-through-behavioral-awareness</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Investing often involves more than numbers, charts, or financial statements. Behind every investment choice lies a series of human emotions and decisions. This intersection of psychology and investing is known as behavioural finance, a field that studies how biases, habits, and perceptions may influence the way investors think and act.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	A look at the shift from spontaneous decisions to thoughtful investing


	
	By becoming aware of these behavioral patterns, investors can make measured, informed choices that align with their long-term goals. In this article, we will break down how behavioural patterns shape financial habits. 


	
	Understanding behavioral finance and its relevance
	Traditional financial theory assumes that investors act rationally and always seek to maximise returns. However, real-world investing often tells a different story. Market optimism, fear of loss, and even social influence may lead investors to behave differently from what logic would suggest.


	
	Behavioral finance explains these tendencies through concepts such as loss aversion, the tendency to fear losses more than valuing equivalent gains and herd behaviour. 


	
	Recognising these patterns is the first step toward improving one’s financial decision-making process.


	
	Common biases that shape investment behaviour
	Investor behaviour is influenced by several recurring psychological biases. Some of the most common include:


	 


	
		
			Loss aversion: Many investors hesitate to sell underperforming assets, hoping they will recover, even when data suggests otherwise.
	
	
		
			Confirmation bias: Investors may seek information that supports their existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory data.
	
	
		
			Recency bias: Short-term market movements may overly influence expectations about future performance.
	
	
		
			Herd mentality: The tendency to follow what others are doing, especially during bull or bear markets, may result in impulsive decisions.
	



	
	Understanding how these biases manifest in daily investment decisions may help investors pause and reflect before reacting to short-term noise. 


	
	From emotion to structure: building investment discipline
	Behavioral finance suggests that while emotions cannot be eliminated, their impact can be managed. One effective way to do this is through structured investing, setting rules and frameworks that promote consistency.


	
	For instance, systematic investing through mutual funds may help investors stay committed to their goals regardless of market fluctuations. By investing a fixed amount regularly, investors reduce the temptation to time the market or react to volatility. Over time, such habits may foster discipline and help investors stay focused on long-term wealth creation.


	
	Automation, pre-set reminders, or consultation with a financial advisor may also help create systems that reduce the role of impulse in financial decision-making.


	
	Behavioral awareness in mutual fund investing
	Mutual funds provide a structured way for investors to participate in markets, but behaviour still plays a key role in determining outcomes. Even with professional fund management, investors’ decisions, such as when to enter, exit, or switch funds, often depend on sentiment.


	
	Awareness of behavioral finance may help investors stay invested through market cycles. For instance, during market downturns, fear may prompt premature redemptions, while during rallies, greed may drive overexposure to equity-oriented funds. Recognising these patterns may allow investors to approach market movements with greater balance and patience.


	
	Diversification and goal-based investing also play an important role here. When investments are linked to specific goals, such as retirement or education, the focus tends to shift from short-term market performance to long-term outcomes.


	
	Turning insights into better habits
	Building better investment habits starts with small behavioural shifts. Investors may begin by:


	 


	
		
			Setting clear goals – Defining what each investment is meant to achieve.
	
	
		
			Automating contributions – Reducing the chance of missed investments or emotional timing decisions.
	
	
		
			Reviewing periodically, not reactively – Assessing portfolios at fixed intervals instead of responding to every market change.
	
	
		
			Seeking professional guidance – A qualified financial advisor may provide perspective and help correct behavioural blind spots.
	



	
	Such steps, though simple, may help transform investment decisions from instinct-driven reactions into well-informed actions.


	
	Conclusion
	Understanding and applying behavioral finance may not guarantee better returns, but it may help investors avoid common mistakes driven by emotion. Every investor experiences moments of hesitation, excitement, or uncertainty, but with awareness and structure, these impulses can be channelled into steady, goal-oriented investing.


	
	By recognising one’s behavioral patterns and building systematic habits, investors may gradually shift from reaction to reflection, making their mutual fund investment journey more disciplined, balanced, and purpose driven.


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully.

<title>How to Invest in SIP for long&#45;term goals</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-invest-in-sip-for-long-term-goals</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-invest-in-sip-for-long-term-goals</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Planning for long-term goals such as retirement, a child&#039;s education, or buying a house often requires discipline and regular investing. One-way investors may approach this is through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP). It allows you to invest a fixed amount regularly in mutual funds, helping you build wealth gradually over time. Before you decide to invest in SIP, it&#039;s helpful to understand how it works, its benefits, and the factors you may consider for long-term financial planning.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Turn your long-term goals into achievable milestones with an SIP


	 


	Understanding what SIP means


	A Systematic Investment Plan is a structured approach where you commit to investing a specific amount at regular intervals, monthly, quarterly, or semi-annually, into a mutual fund scheme. When you invest in SIP, your contribution is used to buy mutual fund units at the prevailing Net Asset Value (NAV). This approach helps you participate in the market consistently, regardless of short-term ups and downs.


	 


	The key benefit of investing in SIP lies in its disciplined nature. Since the amount is invested regularly, you don&#039;t have to time the market or worry about daily price movements. Over time, the average purchase cost may even out, a concept known as rupee cost averaging.


	 


	How to start investing in SIP


	Starting a SIP is a straightforward process, but a few preparatory steps may help you make informed choices:


	1. Set your goal: Define what you are investing for and how much time you have. For example, planning for your child&#039;s higher education may require a 10-15-year horizon, whereas buying a car could be a 5-year goal.


	2. Decide the amount and duration: The amount you invest should be based on your income, expenses, and target amount. Online SIP calculators may help you estimate how much you need to invest to reach a desired corpus. The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	3. Choose a suitable mutual fund scheme: Review the fund&#039;s objective, past consistency, and risk level before you invest in SIP.


	 


	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	 


	4. Complete the KYC process: Submitting identity and address proof is mandatory before starting any mutual fund investment.


	5. Set up auto-debit or ECS: Automating your SIP ensures timely contributions and helps maintain investing discipline.


	 


	Benefits of investing in SIP for long-term goals


	When you invest in SIP, you may experience several potential advantages:


	
		
			Power of compounding: Regular investments allow your returns to generate their own earnings over time. The longer you stay invested, the more significant this effect may become.
	
	
		
			Rupee cost averaging: Since you invest a fixed amount regularly, you buy more units when prices are lower and fewer when prices are higher, potentially reducing the average cost.
	
	
		
			Financial discipline: SIPs encourage consistent saving and reduce the temptation to withdraw or spend prematurely.
	
	
		
			Flexibility: You may start, stop, or modify your SIP amount based on your changing financial circumstances.
	
	
		
			Accessibility: SIPs make mutual fund investing convenient even for beginners, as you may start with amounts as low as Rs. 500 per month.
	



	 


	How to align SIPs with different life goals


	Each financial goal may require a different investment strategy. You may align your SIPs accordingly:


	
		
			Short-term goals (1-3 years): Consider funds with relatively lower volatility, such as debt or hybrid schemes.
	
	
		
			Medium-term goals (3-5 years): You may choose balanced or hybrid equity funds to combine potential growth and stability.
	
	
		
			Long-term goals (5 years and above): Equity-oriented funds may be more suitable for long-term wealth creation, as they have the potential to deliver higher returns over extended periods.
	



	 


	Reviewing your SIP portfolio regularly helps ensure it stays aligned with your goals and risk profile. If your income grows, you may also consider a step-up SIP, which allows you to increase the contribution amount periodically.


	 


	Things to keep in mind before you invest in SIP


	While SIPs are designed for convenience and discipline, it&#039;s important to invest with realistic expectations. Market movements may cause temporary fluctuations in returns, but maintaining a long-term perspective often helps in balancing these variations.


	 


	You may also diversify your SIPs across different mutual fund categories, equity, debt, and hybrid, to manage risk effectively. Understanding your risk appetite, time horizon, and goal size before starting may help you make suitable choices.


	 


	If you&#039;re exploring mutual fund investment in India, you will find a wide range of SIP options offered by various fund houses. Each comes with different risk levels and objectives, so reviewing scheme-related documents carefully before you invest is essential.


	 


	Conclusion


	Investing in SIP is a simple and systematic way to pursue your long-term financial goals. It promotes discipline, reduces the impact of market volatility, and helps you benefit from the power of compounding. By setting detailed goals, choosing suitable funds, and staying invested, you may gradually build a corpus that supports your future aspirations.


	 


	Whether you are a first-time investor or an experienced one, starting early and staying consistent may make a meaningful difference over time.


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ Equity funds may offer investors an opportunity to participate in the potential growth of listed companies through a diversified portfolio. They are suitable for individuals who are willing to stay invested for the long term and are comfortable with short-term market fluctuations. Before you decide to invest in equity funds, it is important to understand how they work, the types available, and what factors you may consider before making an investment decision.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Know before you grow: Key tips for investing in equity funds


	 


	Understanding what equity funds are


	Equity mutual funds primarily invest in shares of different companies across market segments and sectors. Their aim is to generate potential long-term capital appreciation by participating in the performance of businesses. The returns from such investments depend on the price movements of the underlying stocks, which may fluctuate based on market conditions.


	 


	Investors who choose to invest in equity funds may find them suitable if they are looking to grow wealth over an extended period. However, since equity markets are influenced by economic and sectoral factors, it is important to remain patient during periods of volatility.


	 


	Different types of equity funds


	There are several categories of equity funds, and each one follows a different investment approach.


	
		
			Large Cap funds: These funds primarily invest in companies with large market capitalisation that are generally considered to be more established. Large cap fund schemes may offer potentially stable returns over time compared to smaller market segments.
	
	
		
			Mid Cap and Small Cap funds: These invest in relatively smaller companies that may provide potential growth but may also be more volatile.
	
	
		
			Flexi Cap and Multi Cap funds: These schemes invest across market capitalisations, allowing fund managers to allocate investments dynamically based on market outlook.
	
	
		
			Sectoral or thematic funds: These focus on specific industries or investment themes and may be suitable for investors with higher risk tolerance.
	



	 


	Understanding these differences may help you choose the type of equity fund that aligns with your financial goals and comfort with risk.


	 


	Factors to consider before you invest in equity funds


	Before making any decision, consider the following aspects:


	
		
			Investment horizon: Equity funds may require a long-term horizon, typically five years or more, to ride out market fluctuations.
	
	
		
			Risk appetite: Since equity investments are market-linked, their values may go up or down. Assessing your risk tolerance is essential.
	
	
		
			Financial goals: Aligning your investment with specific goals such as buying a house, funding education, or planning retirement helps in selecting a suitable fund.
	
	
		
			Diversification: Investing across different categories and sectors may reduce the impact of volatility on your overall portfolio.
	
	
		
			Fund management and consistency: Reviewing the fund&#039;s investment approach and track record over various market cycles may provide insights into its consistency.
	



	 


	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	 


	How to start investing in equity funds


	Investing in equity mutual funds has become simpler with online investment platforms and financial intermediaries. You may start with a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) or a lumpsum investment. SIPs allow you to invest a fixed amount regularly, which may help in averaging out the cost of investment over time.


	 


	Before you invest in equity funds, ensure you complete the process. Reviewing the fund&#039;s objective, riskometer, and scheme information document is also recommended to understand where and how the fund will invest your money.


	 


	When a large cap fund may suit your portfolio


	If you are new to equity investing or prefer a relatively stable experience, you may consider exploring a large cap fund. These funds typically invest in companies that are market leaders with established track records. While they may not deliver sharp short-term gains, they may offer more consistency during volatile phases compared to mid or small cap categories.


	 


	However, all investments in equity funds are subject to market movements, and even large cap funds may witness temporary declines during market downturns. Diversifying across categories may help balance potential risks and returns over time.


	 


	Conclusion


	Equity mutual funds offer investors an opportunity to participate in the potential long-term growth of the economy. By understanding their structure, risks, and types, you may be able to make informed decisions that align with your goals and investment horizon. Whether you prefer starting with a large cap fund or a diversified portfolio, remember that investing in equity funds requires patience, discipline, and regular review.


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>Volatility as a pathway: How Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund approaches market shifts</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/volatility-as-a-pathway-how-bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund-approaches-market-shifts</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/volatility-as-a-pathway-how-bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund-approaches-market-shifts</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ If you are an investor, you may have felt the ups and downs of the market firsthand. One day, your portfolio is climbing; the next, it seems to be dipping. It can feel unsettling, but it&#039;s important to remember that volatility is a natural part of the investment journey. For someone looking at small caps, this volatility may also create potential opportunities for long-term growth. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	How Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund uses volatility as a pathway


	 


	Understanding volatility in small caps 


	Small cap companies are usually in the early stages of growth and often operate in niche markets. Because of this, their stock prices tend to move more sharply than larger companies.  


	 


	When you invest in small caps, think of volatility like waves in the ocean. Each wave can feel disruptive, but if you understand the rhythm, you may be able to identify moments where entering the market could be suitable for your long-term goals. Over time, these short-term corrections may offer chances to invest in businesses with strong fundamentals that are positioned for long-term growth. 


	 


	How Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund approaches volatility 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund seeks to navigate these market shifts with a structured approach. The fund does not react to every movement in the market; instead, it seeks opportunities that align with its investment philosophy. 


	 


	The fund&#039;s investment approach combines three key strategies: 


	
		
			Growth: Targeting businesses with potential to expand and scale over time, 
	
	
		
			Value: Identifying companies trading below their intrinsic value, and 
	
	
		
			Quality: Focusing on businesses with strong governance and sustainable operations. 
	



	 


	By blending these approaches, the fund aims to maintain a balanced portfolio that may adapt to different market phases. 


	 


	Turning ideas into your portfolio 


	The fund follows five guiding pillars to select stocks: quality, growth, undervalued opportunities, leadership, and governance. Each potential investment is assessed against these principles. 


	 


	From a large universe of small cap stocks, only a carefully selected number make it into the portfolio. This disciplined approach may help ensure that the fund is diversified across sectors while concentrating on businesses with strong potential. 


	 


	How Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund potentially mitigates risks


	Here are some common risks of investing in small caps, and how the fund seeks to mitigate them:


	
		
			Information gaps - Small cap companies often have limited analyst coverage, lower disclosures, and poor transparency. To address this, the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund relies on in-depth internal research, direct management interactions, and forensic checks.
	
	
		
			Governance concerns - Risks such as promoter dominance, related-party transactions, and ethical lapses can affect small caps. The fund applies strict governance filters and conducts promoter background checks to mitigate these risks.
	
	
		
			Capital misallocation - Reckless expansion, unrelated diversification, or low-return projects can erode shareholder value. The fund emphasises capital efficiency and looks for businesses with a strong ROCE/ROE track record.
	
	
		
			High leverage - Excessive debt makes companies vulnerable during downturns. The fund prefers businesses with a healthy balance sheet and sound interest coverage ratios.
	
	
		
			Business concentration - Dependence on a single product, client, or geography increases vulnerability. The fund screens for companies with diversified revenue models and sustainable growth drivers.
	



	 


	How SIPs may help navigate ups and downs


	If you are concerned about market volatility, a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) in the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund may be a suitable approach. By investing a fixed amount at regular intervals, you spread your exposure across different market conditions. This approach uses rupee cost averaging, where you buy more units when prices are lower and fewer when prices are higher, potentially reducing the impact of short-term swings. 


	 


	Over time, your consistent contributions may help you experience the potential benefits of compounding. An SIP allows you to start small, stay disciplined, and gradually build exposure to small caps without trying to time every market movement. 


	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture. 


	 


	Why consider small cap funds for your long-term goals 


	Small caps may offer access to businesses that are growing alongside India&#039;s evolving economy. Investing through a mutual fund provides you with professional research, active monitoring, and portfolio management, which can help you navigate risks while staying aligned with your long-term goals. 


	 


	Choosing an SIP in a fund like Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund allows you to approach volatility thoughtfully, turning market shifts into potential opportunities rather than challenges. 


	 


	Conclusion 


	Market volatility may feel uncertain, but it also creates moments that could align with your investment goals. By combining a structured investment philosophy with careful research, the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund seeks to potentially help you navigate these shifts. Through a consistent SIP, you may gradually build exposure to small cap opportunities while staying focused on long-term wealth creation. 


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>Why investors delay investing: The effect of present bias</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-investors-delay-investing-the-effect-of-present-bias</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-investors-delay-investing-the-effect-of-present-bias</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ People often prefer immediate rewards over larger benefits in the future, a tendency known as present bias. Even when aware of long-term gains, they may prioritise short-term needs over future goals. This behavioural tendency can lead investors to postpone financial decisions, waiting for what they consider the &#039;perfect&#039; time to invest.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Understanding the effects of present bias


	 


	In the process, they risk missing time in the market-time that could have helped their money potentially grow steadily.


	 


	Understanding how present bias influences decisions may help investors reflect on their financial habits and take more balanced steps towards their goals.


	 


	What is present bias


	Present bias is when an individual is more focused on present rewards rather than potential future outcomes. In investing, present bias means that investors would rather spend money today than invest it for returns that may come over a period.


	 


	For example, an investor might postpone setting aside Rs. 5,000 per month in a mutual fund because they prefer to spend it on present consumption. Over time, however, this delay may cause them to miss out on the potential growth of their investments. Since investing early allows compounding to work for longer periods, postponing it can have an important effect on long-term outcomes.


	 


	Why investors delay investing


	Here are some reasons why some people may put off or delay investing:


	 


	Preference for immediate gratification


	Immediate gratification can often feel more rewarding than fulfilling a long-term commitment. For instance, buying new gadgets or spending on new experiences may feel more fulfilling than sticking to a consistent investment plan that may show results over a period. Present bias magnifies this preference, making it harder to start investing.


	 


	Uncertainty about the future


	The uncertainty of what may happen in the future may also discourage investors from planning ahead. Some may feel that they can always start investing later when they are more settled. However, this mindset can diminish the potential benefits of investing.


	 


	Fear of market fluctuations


	For novice investors, market fluctuations may feel intimidating. Present bias can amplify this fear, as investors give more importance to the possibility of short-term losses than the potential for long-term growth. This may lead to them postponing investing until they feel the market is more suitable for participation.


	 


	Procrastination and lack of urgency


	A lack of urgency can push investors to delay their investment decisions. Investing often requires time, attention and making crucial decisions. For many, this may mean that they take longer to make certain decisions. Hence, investment decisions may take a back seat in an investor&#039;s mind. Present bias may strengthen this procrastination, leading investors to delay setting up an SIP or a lumpsum investment.


	 


	The cost of delaying investments


	Delaying investments means missing out on the potential benefits of compounding. Compounding happens when the returns generated on an investment generate further returns over time. Even a few years&#039; delay may result in a potentially smaller corpus at the end of the investment horizon.


	 


	For example, if one investor starts contributing Rs. 5,000 per month at age 25 and another begins at age 30, and both invest until age 55, the earlier investor may end up with a larger corpus even though the monthly contribution is the same. The difference is because the one who began investing earlier gave their investments more time to potentially grow through compounding.


	 


	Ways to overcome present bias in investing


	Although present bias is natural in an investor&#039;s journey, individuals can take certain steps to manage it and begin investing sooner.


	 


	Starting small with an SIP: A Systematic Investment Plan allows investors to contribute small amounts regularly. Over time, investors may choose to increase their investment amount or step up their SIP as their income increases.


	 


	Linking investments to goals: When investors link investments to specific goals, they may strengthen their commitment. This is because when they tie their investments to meaningful outcomes, the motivation may increase, potentially reducing the effect of present bias.


	 


	Automating contributions: Automating contributions can help investors set aside money before they can spend it. For instance, setting up an automatic SIP can help investors remain consistent without having to take a fresh decision every month.


	 


	Focusing on the long term: While short-term market fluctuations might seem significant, long-term participation in mutual funds may help reduce their impact. Hence, having a long-term perspective may help investors reduce the effects of present bias.


	 


	Seeking professional guidance: Sometimes, consulting a financial advisor may help investors identify suitable options based on their preferences. With proper guidance, they may feel more confident about taking the first step.


	 


	Using tools to plan investments


	Online tools such as compound interest calculators may help investors estimate how their money may potentially grow over time. By seeing the possible difference between starting now and delaying by a few years, investors can gain perspective on the effect of present bias. However, investors must note that the calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Applying the InQuBe philosophy
	Bajaj Finserv AMC&#039;s InQuBe philosophy recognises that investor behaviour can influence financial decisions. By combining careful analysis, structured information, and insights into market behaviour, InQuBe aims to provide a framework that supports more thoughtful and disciplined investing. In the context of present bias, this approach can help investors focus on long-term objectives, avoid postponing decisions, and maintain consistency in their investment journey.


	 


	Conclusion


	Present bias often makes investors delay investing, as they focus more on immediate needs and less on long-term goals. However, recognising this tendency is the first step toward overcoming it. Starting small, linking investments to personal goals, and using tools like SIPs can help build consistent habits. While the future remains uncertain, early and disciplined investing may create a potentially more stable financial foundation. By becoming aware of behavioural patterns, investors can take more balanced decisions that align with their long-term objectives.

<title>FOMO vs. Fundamentals: Guiding Gen Z Away from Risky Financial Decisions</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/fomo-vs-fundamentals-guiding-gen-z-away-from-risky-financial-decisions</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/fomo-vs-fundamentals-guiding-gen-z-away-from-risky-financial-decisions</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ It has never been easier to spend or invest money. Today, anyone can buy sneakers, transfer money, or trade stocks with a single tap. For Gen Z, who have grown up in this instant-access world, the pull is even stronger. Social media platforms amplify this access: short videos promise &quot;overnight riches,&quot; influencers showcase quick wins and peer groups reinforce the idea that if you&#039;re not participating, you are being left behind.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Mitul Mehta- Co-founder of National Finance Olympiad


	 


	This mix of instant technology, social influence, and youthful curiosity is powerful but risky. The challenge for today&#039;s parents, teachers, and young people is that financial decisions made in seconds can have consequences lasting years. That&#039;s why understanding the balance between FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and fundamentals has become critical.


	 


	1. The Digital Landscape and the Rise of FOMO


	Today, buying, spending, or even investing money is effortless. With UPI, Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL), and one-click investing apps, financial decisions happen in seconds. This convenience is universal, but for Gen Z, who have grown up in a world of instant notifications and swipe-to-buy, it creates a unique challenge: the temptation to act before thinking.


	 


	Social media makes this even more acute. Platforms like Instagram and YouTube are filled with &quot;hot tips&quot; and stories of overnight success. According to the UK&#039;s Financial Conduct Authority, 85% of young investors say social media influences their choices, and two-thirds act within 24 hours of seeing content. The sense of &quot;everyone is doing it&quot; pushes many to jump in, whether it&#039;s buying a trending product or investing in a volatile stock.


	 


	Social influence shapes consumer impulse. Research shows that peer influence on social media, combined with targeted ads, is significantly linked to young people&#039;s impulsive purchases, i.e. when someone sees a friend making a purchase, they are more likely to replicate that behaviour.


	 


	In India, the consequences are stark: SEBI&#039;s analysis shows that 93% of retail traders in derivatives lost money between FY22-FY24, with combined losses of over INR 1.8 lakh crore. Many of these traders were young, first-time participants drawn in by the ease of trading apps and the promise of quick gains.


	 


	2. The Formula-Driven Choices Gen Z Are Making


	For many young people, financial decisions are increasingly shaped by formula shortcuts that promise clarity in a complex world. On social media, money often gets reduced to quick equations: &quot;double your money in 30 days&quot; or &quot;make 5% every week.&quot; These catchy rules of thumb spread quickly through YouTube shorts and Instagram reels, creating the illusion that wealth can be built by simply following a set pattern. Some influencers even share ready-made spreadsheets and templates, which make investing look as easy as plugging numbers into a formula, though the underlying risks remain hidden.


	 


	Technology reinforces this mindset. Copy-trading platforms allow users to mimic the moves of other investors, often without understanding the companies or assets involved. Automated bots and signal providers on platforms like Telegram and Discord offer &quot;buy&quot; and &quot;sell&quot; instructions that look like precise formulas, but in reality operate on opaque logic. Even mainstream apps encourage formula-driven behaviour by promoting lists such as &quot;top gainers of the day,&quot; nudging users toward fast, momentum-based decisions rather than careful analysis.


	 


	Finally, one of the most pervasive formulas isn&#039;t written down at all: the silent assumption that &quot;everyone else is doing it.&quot; When peers buy a trending product, invest in the same coin, or follow the same influencer&#039;s tips, it creates a herd mentality disguised as strategy. Viral slogans like &quot;invest INR 100 daily and retire at 30&quot; further simplify a complex reality into something that feels achievable, even though they overlook factors like inflation, risk, and market volatility.


	 


	3. The Fundamentals Gen Z Needs to Learn


	Formulas and shortcuts may look appealing, but the real foundation of financial security lies in a few timeless principles.


	 


	Budgeting comes first. Even a simple plan to divide income between needs, wants, and savings prevents overspending and reliance on credit. Equally important is grasping the relationship between risk and return. High returns are often dangled in front of Gen Z, whether through fast-moving crypto coins or high-leverage trading opportunities.


	 


	Compounding is often misunderstood, especially when social media reduces it to slogans like &quot;invest INR 100 daily and retire at 30.&quot; The truth is less flashy but far more powerful. Compounding works not by making you rich overnight, but by steadily multiplying small, consistent contributions over long periods.


	 


	For example, investing INR 1,000 a month at 10% annual return adds up to INR 1.2 lakh in cash contributions over 10 years, but grows to about INR 2.1 lakh with compounding. Extend that to 30 years, and the same contribution totals INR 3.6 lakh, yet the portfolio grows beyond INR 20 lakh. The gap between what you put in and what you end up with is the quiet magic of time and patience is something no shortcut or viral formula can replicate.


	 


	Finally, diversification ensures resilience. Spreading money across assets like stocks, bonds and deposits protects against failure in any one area. While hype encourages &quot;all-in&quot; bets, diversification builds stability. These fundamentals usually won&#039;t make headlines, but they create lasting confidence and security in ways formulas never can.


	 


	&quot;FOMO feeds on speed, but wealth grows with patience. For Gen Z, the real power lies not in chasing what&#039;s trending, but in understanding the fundamentals that compound over time.&quot;


	 


	Why Financial Literacy Matters More Than Ever


	Technology will only make financial choices faster and easier in the years ahead. By 2030, India&#039;s retail digital payments market alone is projected to double and reach USD 7 trillion annually. This means tomorrow&#039;s adults will make more financial decisions by the age of 25 than many of their parents did by 40.


	 


	In such a landscape, FOMO is not just a passing teenage impulse; it could become a defining risk factor for an entire generation. But the antidote remains the same: strong fundamentals, taught early and reinforced often. Financial literacy gives young people the tools to pause, to question, and to chart their own path rather than follow the crowd. ]]></description>

<title>Why investors panic when markets fall: Understanding behaviour in a mutual fund scheme</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-investors-panic-when-markets-fall-understanding-behaviour-in-a-mutual-fund-scheme</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/why-investors-panic-when-markets-fall-understanding-behaviour-in-a-mutual-fund-scheme</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Market fluctuations are part and parcel of the investment journey. Yet, many investors find it difficult to deal with them and react impulsively when markets shift. Whether they&#039;re investing in stocks, mutual funds or any other investment avenue, downturns and volatility make investors jittery and lead to decisions that may not be favourable for their long-term goals.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	The role investor behaviour plays in finance
	 


	This article will explain the reasons why investors panic when markets fall, why it is useful to look at behavioural patterns and psychological triggers, and how one may stay more balanced in such situations.


	 


	The role of emotions in investment decisions


	Investing is believed to be about logic, but emotions may often play a role in financial decision-making. This interplay between emotions and money is at the heart of behavioural finance, a field of study that combines psychology and economics to explain how people make financial decisions. Instead of assuming investors are always rational, it looks at how emotions, biases, and social influences may affect choices about saving, spending, and investing.


	 


	Fear and anxiety are two of the most powerful emotions that may influence an investor&#039;s decision-making when markets shift. In the context of a mutual fund scheme, these emotions may lead to premature withdrawals even when the investment was meant for the long term.


	 


	This is partly because losses feel more intense than gains of the same size, a tendency known as loss aversion. For example, losing Rs. 10,000 feels far more painful than the happiness experienced from gaining Rs. 10,000. This imbalance may push investors to act in haste, especially during a market downturn.


	 


	Herd behaviour and social influence


	Another reason why investors may panic is herd behaviour. When investors see others exiting a mutual fund scheme or selling their holdings during market lows, they may feel the need to do the same. Following the crowd may be seen as a more suitable option for many investors instead of standing apart, even if long-term fundamentals remain unchanged.


	 


	Such herd behaviour may result in missed opportunities for potential growth if the market recovers.


	 


	Short-term focus versus long-term goals


	Many investors begin investing in a mutual fund scheme with a long-term goal in mind, such as retirement planning or funding a child&#039;s education. However, when markets turn volatile, the focus shifts from long-term goals to short-term movements. This may lead to impulsive decisions, such as redeeming units prematurely.


	 


	While market volatility may be temporary, impulsive decisions may lock in losses. When investors keep long-term objectives in mind and avoid frequent reactions, they may maintain their investment discipline.


	 


	The impact of past experiences


	Sometimes, personal experiences may also shape investor behaviour. If an investor has experienced a previous downturn and faced losses, they may panic more quickly in future market declines. Similarly, if someone has seen markets recover after a downturn, they may be more comfortable about staying invested.


	 


	It is important to remember that decisions should be based on suitability, financial planning, and current circumstances rather than only on past experiences.


	 


	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	 


	The role of information and news flow


	Investors are often influenced by constant news updates, market headlines, and commentary from peers or social media. Negative news may magnify fear, making it harder to stay patient. For instance, during a sudden market fall, headlines may focus on short-term losses without providing a balanced view of potential long-term prospects.


	 


	Filtering information and focusing on reliable sources may help investors avoid unnecessary panic. Instead of reacting to every headline, it may be useful to stay focused on your long-term goals.


	 


	Behavioural biases in investing


	Several behavioural biases contribute to panic during market falls:


	
		
			Loss aversion: As discussed, losses feel more severe than gains of equal size.
	
	
		
			Recency bias: Investors tend to give more weight to recent events. A sudden fall may overshadow years of steady growth in a mutual fund scheme.
	
	
		
			Overconfidence bias: Believing one may time the market or predict exact outcomes often leads to disappointment when events do not go as expected.
	



	 


	Understanding these biases may help investors make more measured decisions instead of reacting purely on impulse.


	 


	Strategies to stay calm during market falls


	While no strategy may remove uncertainty, certain practices may help investors manage their reactions:


	
		
			Review goals periodically: Ensuring that investments in a mutual fund scheme align with long-term goals may provide confidence during volatility.
	
	
		
			Diversification: Spreading investments across asset classes may potentially reduce the impact of market swings.
	
	
		
			Systematic approach: Approaches like Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) may help average out costs over time, though investors should assess if these are suitable for their financial needs.
	
	
		
			Consulting advisors: Professional advice may provide perspective and help investors avoid impulsive decisions.
	



	 


	These strategies may not eliminate risk, but they may provide structure and reduce emotional reactions during downturns.


	 


	The InQuBe philosophy of investing


	Bajaj Finserv AMC&#039;s InQuBe philosophy represents a disciplined framework for pursuing investment opportunities. Built on three pillars, gaining an information edge, applying analytical tools, and leveraging behavioural insights, it aims to guide investment decisions by focusing on companies with solid fundamentals and potential long-term value. By navigating market inefficiencies through this structured approach, Bajaj Finserv AMC seeks to help investors maintain a consistent, long-term perspective.


	 


	Conclusion


	Markets will always move through cycles of ups and downs. The challenge for investors is not only in choosing a suitable mutual fund scheme but also in managing their own reactions when markets fall. Panic is a natural response, but understanding behavioural patterns, being aware of biases, and staying focused on long-term goals may help investors make more balanced decisions. By approaching investments with patience and discipline, investors may be able to navigate market volatility more calmly.

<title>How to choose a flexi cap fund suitable for you in 2025</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-choose-a-flexi-cap-fund-suitable-for-you-in-2025</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-choose-a-flexi-cap-fund-suitable-for-you-in-2025</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ For investors looking to participate in the potential growth of companies across the large, mid and small cap markets, a flexi cap fund may be a potentially suitable option. Unlike category-specific funds, a flexi cap fund offers fund managers flexibility to allocate investments based on market conditions and potential opportunities. Flexi cap funds may provide investors with exposure to relative stability from large caps as well as potential growth from mid and small cap sectors.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Investors may consider the Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund with a MEGATRENDS strategy


	 


	Before you choose a flexi cap fund to invest in 2025, let&#039;s look at a few factors that may assist you in making an informed decision.


	 


	Factors to consider before selecting a flexi cap fund


	
		
			Portfolio allocation - While large cap companies might provide relative stability, small and large cap companies may often carry risk while potentially delivering higher potential growth. Hence, reviewing a fund&#039;s portfolio structure over time may help you understand its positioning.
	
	
		
			Investment philosophy - Another factor to consider is the fund&#039;s investment theme. Some funds focus on cyclical opportunities, while others pay attention to long-term trends. Understanding a fund&#039;s approach may help you decide whether it matches your perspective on growth.
	
	
		
			Fund turnover - The expense ratio and turnover of a fund influence its net potential returns. Lower turnovers may be indicative of a long-term focus with reduced transaction costs.
	
	
		
			Risk analysis - When evaluating a fund, it may help to look at both its historical performance and how it has adapted to changing market conditions to gauge how risky the investment might be.
	
	
		
			Investment horizon - Lastly, considering your own investment horizon may also help in making an investment decision. Flexi cap funds might be more suitable for long-term investors with a horizon of five years or more.
	



	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	 


	To get a sense of how wealth may potentially compound over time, you may experiment with a compound interest calculator.


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	 


	Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund: Two years of progress


	When talking about flexi cap funds present in the market, we may consider Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund launched in August 2023. The Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund has recently marked its second anniversary by crossing Rs. 5,410.04 crore in Assets Under Management (AUM) as of August 31, 2025. Since inception, it has delivered a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 19.19%* under the regular plan and 20.91%* under the direct plan.


	 


	Source: Internal Data As On 29th August 2025 (Since Inception Annualised Return). *Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	 


	The megatrend advantage


	Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund follows a megatrend philosophy. Megatrends are long-term structural shifts that shape economies, businesses, and societies for years to come. They go beyond short-term market movements and tend to often drive fundamental changes in how industries operate and potentially grow.


	 


	The fund invests with a long-term view, aligning with structural shifts in technology, regulation, demographics, environment, and society.


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund aligns with these megatrends through its T.R.E.N.D.S framework:


	
		
			Technology: Digitisation, automation, and technology-led transformations are reshaping how businesses deliver products and services. Companies adapting to these changes may discover new, potential growth opportunities.
	
	
		
			Regulatory: Policy shifts such as the push for domestic manufacturing and government-led reforms are creating conditions that may support potential growth in multiple sectors of the economy.
	
	
		
			Economic: India&#039;s growing financial participation, rising consumption, and infrastructure expansion are structural drivers that may influence long-term business potential.
	
	
		
			Nature: Sustainability, clean energy, and environmentally conscious practices are gaining importance. Businesses aligning with green priorities may be positioned differently in the evolving marketplace.
	
	
		
			Demographic: With a young population, rising income levels, and changing rural-urban dynamics, India&#039;s demographics are shaping fresh demand patterns across industries.
	
	
		
			Social: Trends such as health and wellness awareness, rapid urbanisation, and shifting consumer lifestyles are influencing the way people consume goods and services.
	



	 


	By tracking T.R.E.N.D.S, the fund seeks to identify sectors and businesses that reflect these long-term transformations. Combined with the flexibility to invest across large, mid, and small cap companies, this approach may help build a diversified portfolio aligned with India&#039;s evolving growth story.


	 


	Investor participation and fund performance


	With more than 2,52,000 folios as of August 31, 2025, the fund has seen newer inflows. It is benchmarked against the BSE 500 TRI, and its active management approach results in a portfolio that differs from the benchmark through selective stock picking.


	 


	Key characteristics


	
		
			Market exposure: The Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund combines relative stability of large caps with growth potential of mid and small caps.
	
	
		
			Longer outlook: The fund&#039;s investment strategy focuses on potentially maintaining a relatively low turnover ratio.
	
	
		
			Management style: The fund is managed actively due to its distinctive portfolio compared to its benchmark.
	



	 


	Who may consider this fund


	Risk-tolerant individuals with a long-term (5-10 year) horizon looking for diversification across market caps may find Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund suitable as an investment option. Investors who wish to align their investments with the potential growth of megatrends as well as add flexibility to their portfolio may also consider the fund as a potential investment choice.


	 


	Investors preferring a disciplined approach may also consider investing via a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) to gradually participate in equity markets while potentially mitigating the impact of short-term market fluctuations.


	 


	Conclusion


	A flexi cap fund that offers both diversification and flexibility across market caps may be a suitable investment option for investors. By reviewing factors such as portfolio allocation, philosophy, costs, and risk, you may be able to align your choice with your financial goals. Investors looking to invest in such a fund may consider The Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund.

<title>Healthcare Fund Explained: Understanding Sector&#45;focused Investing</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/healthcare-fund-explained-understanding-sector-focused-investing</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/healthcare-fund-explained-understanding-sector-focused-investing</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Investors often look for ways to participate in sectors that may offer long-term growth potential. A healthcare fund may provide exposure to companies in the healthcare industry, including pharmaceuticals, hospitals, and biotechnology firms.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Understanding sector-focused investing with healthcare funds


	 


	
	This article explores what a healthcare fund is, how it works, potential benefits, key considerations, and how it may fit into a broader investment plan.


	
	What is a healthcare fund
	A healthcare fund is an equity mutual fund that primarily invests in companies operating within the healthcare sector. Unlike diversified equity funds, a healthcare-focused fund concentrates on businesses that may potentially leverage trends in medical services, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology.


	
	This focus allows investors to participate in the growth potential of the sector while spreading investments across multiple companies within the industry.


	
	How does a healthcare fund work
	A healthcare fund invests in shares of companies that operate in hospitals, pharmaceutical research, medical devices, or biotech. Fund managers may select stocks based on factors such as earnings, market position, regulatory developments, and sectoral trends.


	
	By investing in multiple companies within the healthcare sector, the fund provides exposure across different businesses in the industry. 


	
	Performance: Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.


	
	Potential benefits of a healthcare fund


	
		
			Sectoral growth exposure: Investors may get exposure to companies that are part of the healthcare sector.
	
	
		
			Diversification within the sector: By investing across multiple healthcare companies, the fund spreads risk.
	
	
		
			Professional management: Fund managers may choose stocks based on research and sector insights.
	
	
		
			Long-term horizon: These funds are generally designed for investors who may want exposure to the healthcare sector over an extended period.
	



	 


	Key factors to consider


	
		
			Sector concentration risk - A healthcare fund focuses on a single sector, which may lead to relative volatility compared to diversified funds.
	
	
		
			Investment horizon - These funds may be suitable for medium- to long-term goals, as short-term fluctuations may occur.
	
	
		
			Fund management approach - The investment approach may vary depending on the fund manager&#039;s strategy.
	
	
		
			Costs and expenses - Expense ratio and exit load may have an impact on the overall returns and should be reviewed before investing.
	



	Role in a portfolio
	A healthcare fund may be used as part of a diversified investment plan. It may complement other equity, hybrid, or debt funds depending on an investor&#039;s goals and risk appetite. Including a sector-focused fund may provide exposure to healthcare while the rest of the portfolio helps maintain overall diversification.


	
	How compound interest calculators may help 
	Investors may use a compound interest calculator to understand the effect of compounding in fixed-return scenarios. While actual returns of a healthcare fund depend on market conditions, such calculators may provide an indicative picture of how investments accumulate in general.


	
	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.


	
	Conclusion
	A healthcare fund offers investors exposure to the healthcare sector, balancing potential growth and professional management in the long run. While returns may fluctuate due to sector and market conditions, such funds may suit investors with a medium- to long-term horizon seeking to participate in healthcare growth. Using tools like a compound interest calculator may provide an indicative picture of how investments accumulate over time. Consulting a financial advisor may help investors determine how a healthcare fund fits into a broader financial plan.


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>How to Use an XIRR Calculator for Tracking Mutual Fund Returns</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-use-an-xirr-calculator-for-tracking-mutual-fund-returns</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/how-to-use-an-xirr-calculator-for-tracking-mutual-fund-returns</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When you invest in mutual funds through SIPs, lump sums, or withdrawals at different times, calculating actual returns may not be straightforward. Simply looking at the Net Asset Value (NAV) does not always show the true outcome of your cash flows. This is where an XIRR calculator may help. By factoring in the exact dates and amounts of each investment and redemption, it provides an annualised rate of return that reflects your real experience as an investor.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Using an XIRR calculator may help track mutual fund returns
	 


	The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.
	 


	Understanding XIRR


	XIRR stands for Extended Internal Rate of Return. It is a method used to calculate the annualised return when investments and withdrawals happen on different dates. For mutual fund investors who follow Systematic Investment Plans, make occasional top-ups, or redeem units at intervals, using an XIRR calculator may help track how their portfolio has performed so far.
	 


	Unlike simple return calculations, XIRR accounts for multiple cash flows and their timings, providing a clearer picture of realised returns. The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.
	 


	Why use XIRR calculator


	There may be several reasons why investors look at XIRR when evaluating their mutual fund performance:


	
		
			Considers actual cash flows - It factors in exact dates and amounts of all investments and withdrawals.
	
	
		
			Provides annualised returns - Investors may see how irregular contributions translate into a yearly percentage return.
	
	
		
			Suitable for SIPs and SWPs - Regular contributions and withdrawals make XIRR a practical measurement than basic return methods.
	
	
		
			Helps track progress - It may indicate whether the returns so far are aligned with financial goals.
			 
	



	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.
	 


	How to use an XIRR calculator


	To use an XIRR calculator, investors usually need to input:


	
		
			Dates of all contributions and withdrawals.
	
	
		
			The amount invested and redeemed on each date.
	
	
		
			The current value of the investment, if any balance remains.
	



	Based on these entries, the calculator applies the XIRR formula and arrives at the annualised rate of return. The calculator is an aid, not a prediction tool. It may provide only an indicative picture.
	 


	Linking XIRR with financial planning


	When investors use XIRR calculator, they may better understand how their investments may have performed in relation to their financial objectives. At the same time, a compound interest calculator may help investors compare how fixed, regular compounding works in simpler scenarios.
	 


	Together, both calculators offer useful insights: XIRR reflects irregular real-life investment flows, while compound interest calculator illustrates the effect of steady compounding over time.
	 


	Factors to keep in mind while using XIRR


	While useful, XIRR should be interpreted carefully. Investors may consider the following points:


	
		
			Accuracy of input - Results depend on correctly entering dates and amounts.
	
	
		
			Market-linked outcomes - XIRR values may fluctuate with changes in the market.
	
	
		
			Not forward-looking - It reflects past outcomes only and should not be treated as a forecast.
	
	
		
			Impact of costs - Expense ratios and exit loads may affect actual realised returns.
	



	Past performance may or may not be sustained in future.
	 


	Conclusion


	For investors with multiple cash flows through SIPs, SWPs, or top-ups, using an XIRR calculator may be a suitable way to evaluate annualised returns. It accounts for the timing and amount of each transaction, giving a realistic picture of investment performance. Meanwhile, a compound interest calculator may serve as a comparative tool to illustrate how wealth builds under regular compounding in fixed scenarios.
	 


	Both tools are aids for evaluation and may be used as part of a broader investment review. Investors may benefit by considering them alongside their financial goals, risk profile, and investment horizon, and by consulting a financial advisor for personalised guidance.
	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>L&amp;amp;T Finance Ltd. Unveils TV Commercial &amp;apos;Just Zoom Two&#45;wheeler Loans&amp;apos; with Jasprit Bumrah</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/lt-finance-ltd-unveils-tv-commercial-just-zoom-two-wheeler-loans-with-jasprit-bumrah</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/lt-finance-ltd-unveils-tv-commercial-just-zoom-two-wheeler-loans-with-jasprit-bumrah</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ L&amp;T Finance Ltd. (LTF), one of the leading retail financiers in the country, has introduced its latest TV commercial (TVC), &#039;Just Zoom Two-wheeler Loans, featuring its brand ambassador, Jasprit Bumrah. The campaign tagline &#039;Bumrah Ki Speed Par, cleverly draws parallels between Bumrah&#039;s speed and precision with LTF&#039;s swift and seamless Two-wheeler financing.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	The TVC highlights the key features of LTFs Two-wheeler Loans namely instant approval, maximum loan eligibility, and competitive EMI


	
	The TVC was strategically launched during the ongoing Asia Cup 2025 for maximum impact and reach. L&amp;T Finance is the Associate Sponsor for the Asia Cup 2025 on Sony TV Broadcast Network across 13 channels. The TVC highlights the key features of LTFs Two-wheeler Loans - instant approval, maximum loan eligibility, and a competitive EMI starting at Rs. 2,199 per lakh. This speed of underwriting is driven by LTF&#039;s proprietary Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning three-dimensional credit risk assessment engine, &#039;Project Cyclops, which assesses creditworthiness in real-time to deliver on the promise of instant approvals and a seamless customer experience.


	
	The TVC is set in a two-wheeler showroom where a customer expresses doubt about the speed of the loan process. The narrative cleverly contrasts the customers loan journey with a live cricket match featuring Jasprit Bumrah on a screen. As Bumrah begins his powerful run-up and delivers the ball, the LTF representative completes the entire digital loan application in parallel - from document upload to final approval. The loan approval matches with the climactic moment Bumrah dismisses the batsman, visually reinforcing the campaign&#039;s promise of speed and efficiency to life.


	
	Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Sudipta Roy, Managing Director &amp; CEO at LTF, said, &quot;Two-wheeler is a cornerstone of mobility and economic independence for countless individuals and families across the nation. For many, it is not just a key enabler for commerce and connectivity, but also their entry into the formal credit system. As a critical first-stage loan product, it represents a crucial step in their financial journey. By simplifying and accelerating the financing process, we are ensuring that the aspirations of a dynamic, on-the-move India are met with the speed, precision, and reliability they deserve. Our TVC with Jasprit Bumrah brings this commitment to life.&quot; 


	
	Ms. Kavita Jagtiani, Chief Marketing Officer at LTF, said, &quot;Our vision for this film was clear: sharp, direct, and maximum impact. It is a reflection of our Two-wheeler loan proposition itself. We strategically leveraged Bumrah&#039;s image to showcase our commitment to delivering a swift loan process, ensuring our customers that their wait time will be as short and decisive as his run-up to the crease. Over and above this, we are also using artificial intelligence to create exciting and highly personalized customer experiences at every touchpoint with Bumrah.&quot;


	
	An Integrated Marketing Campaign (IMC) leveraging a mix of media buyouts for increased exposure and resonance will be launched across 13 cities - Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Coimbatore, Cuttack, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Patna, Pune, Varanasi, and Guwahati. This includes outdoors with hoardings, airport branding in Mumbai, ads in in-flight magazines, metro branding, WhatsApp Bot for Two-wheeler, and ads for user engagement on social media. The Company will also launch an AI-powered &#039;Bowl like Bumrah&#039; contest. Users can match Bumrahs bowling style and speed for a chance to win exciting prizes. In addition, the Company is conducting several initiatives like Bumrah signed gloves for consumer promotion and influencer campaign. The TV commercial will be aired on Sony Sports (English, Hindi, Tamil, and Malayalam), Sony PIX, Sony Max, and Sony Wah TV. This includes their respective HD channels.

	&quot;A grassroots financial institution that understands the pulse of the people can stand with them in their holistic growth,&quot; the Chief Minister stated. He has highlighted that KSFEs journey, which began with just 10 branches and a capital of Rs. 2 lakh, has now grown to 683 branches and a business volume of Rs. 1 lakh crore, a testament to its popular support.


	
	In 2016, KSFE&#039;s business stood at Rs. 30,000 crore. This has now tripled. It is a significant achievement that a public sector company is the first MNBC in the country to reach this milestone.


	
	KSFE has become an integral part of daily life in Kerala, a place people can turn to for any financial need. The Chief Minister recalled that it was the E.M.S. Namboodiripad government that introduced a public alternative to the private chit system. KSFEs growth has followed that same vision. The company&#039;s operating profit has also more than doubled from Rs. 236 crore in 2016 to over Rs. 500 crore today.


	
	Since 2016, extensive efforts have been made to make KSFE more accessible to the public, with initiatives like the Pravasi Chitty (Chit fund for non-resident Keralites) contributing significantly to its growth. This increased credibility, embraced by the public and customers, has fueled spectacular growth. While many financial institutions worldwide were in crisis during the global financial slowdown, India&#039;s demonetisation, and the COVID-19 pandemic, KSFE provided a resilient model for the country. KSFE stands as a strong alternative where many financial institutions have failed due to policy flaws.


	
	Finance Minister K. N. Balagopal, who presided over the event, stated that KSFEs achievement is the result of the hard work of multiple generations. He has noted that KSFE is a constant source of support for both common people and businesses, and consistently provides dividends to the government. With a new vision, the company is now looking to the future.


	
	The total financial transactions handled by Keralas government financial institutions are equivalent to the states budget, with KSFE contributing a lions share. This highlights the publics trust in public sector institutions, the Minister added. 


	
	The Finance Minister launched KSFE&#039;s new initiatives: &quot;Mission One Crore,&quot; which aims to reach one crore customer base. The company currently has 59.52 lakh customers. On achieving this, KSFE will become the first MNBC with the largest consumer base in the country. The &quot;Fraternity Fund,&quot; a new age chit scheme aimed at the youth and new-age professionals.


	
	KSFE Chairman K. Varadarajan said that credibility, transparency, and government assurance are the core strengths of KSFE. He expressed pride that the business volume has doubled from Rs. 50,000 crore to Rs. 1 lakh crore since he took charge in 2021.


	
	KSFE Managing Director Dr. S. K. Sanil attributed the companys success to innovative goals, complete modernisation, appropriate techniques, and flawless technology. He noted that KSFE has created a service model that truly reflects the public mindset of Kerala, and KSFE posted a profit of Rs. 512 crore in the 2024-25 fiscal year, confirming its status as a consistently profitable public sector enterprise.


	
	With its impressive business surge and market leadership, KSFEs journey shows the critical role that MNBCs will play in India&#039;s money circulation. This trend will have significant and lasting effects on how these institutions contribute to the countrys economic rise. ]]></description>

<title>NFO ending soon: How Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund can adapt to different market cycles</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/nfo-ending-soon-how-bajaj-finserv-equity-savings-fund-can-adapt-to-different-market-cycles</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/nfo-ending-soon-how-bajaj-finserv-equity-savings-fund-can-adapt-to-different-market-cycles</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Markets don&#039;t move in a straight line. Some days they rally. On others, they slide. And sometimes, they move sideways - neither rising nor falling sharply.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	The New Fund Offer period ends on August 11, 2025


	 


	A strategy that can adapt to and leverage different market conditions can be a suitable addition to a portfolio.


	 


	Enter the Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund, a hybrid fund that combines equity, debt, and arbitrage strategies in a way that aims to respond to each phase of the market.


	 


	The scheme&#039;s New Fund Offer period began on July 28, 2025, and ends on August 11, 2025. Read on to find out more about how the Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund seeks to navigate fluctuations in the market and how you can invest.  


	 


	Sideways markets: Arbitrage opportunities 


	A sideways market is when stock prices move within a narrow range without a clear upward or downward trend. It usually reflects market uncertainty, where investors are waiting for stronger signals before making significant moves.


	 


	In this phase, returns from equities may not be high. This is where arbitrage and debt benefit a portfolio. In a sideways market:


	
		
			Arbitrage strategies can capture small and brief pricing gaps between two markets (eg: the cash and future markets). Multiple small spreads can potentially add up to reasonable returns when managed strategically.
	
	
		
			Debt instruments can offer relatively stable returns through interest income and act as a buffer against volatility.
	



	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund may increase allocation to these components when the market lacks clear direction (within regulatory limits and as per allocation pattern mentioned in the Scheme Information Document).


	 


	Bull market: Potential for upside 


	When markets rise, the value of stocks can increase on the back of earnings expansion, economic momentum, and investor optimism. In such conditions, the equity component of the portfolio can potentially capture upside opportunities.
	 


	The fund&#039;s equity allocation, selected using a GARP (Growth at Reasonable Price) approach, can help the portfolio participate in this upward trend. While the equity exposure is modest, it can allow investors to tap into growth potential during rallies while aiming to reduce downside risk compared to traditional equity funds. This equity component will range between 10% to 40% of the portfolio in normal circumstances.


	 


	Bear market: A defensive approach. 


	Downturns can test an investor&#039;s resolve, but they also highlight the importance of balance.


	 


	In falling markets, when equities may decline in value, the fund&#039;s moderate net equity exposure can result in lesser drawdowns. Meanwhile, the debt portion can act as a cushion against volatility, while the arbitrage component has the potential to capitalise on brief price differences.  


	 


	Favourable tax treatment


	Apart from managing market fluctuations, the portfolio is also planned to be tax efficient. By combining equity, debt, and arbitrage, it offers a blend that may potentially lead to better post-tax outcomes, particularly for investors in higher tax brackets.


	 


	The fund seeks to do that by maintaining above 65% allocation to equities (including arbitrage), so that it can qualify as an equity-oriented fund for tax purposes. The tax structure is as follows:


	
		
			Short-term capital gains (levied on units held for less than a year): 20%
	
	
		
			Long-term capital gains tax (on units held for more than a year): Gains of up to Rs. 1.25 lakh are tax-exempt; thereon, the rate is 12.5%.
	



	Alternative assets: An added layer of diversification


	This hybrid fund aims to offer an additional layer of diversification through its strategic allocation to REITs and InvITs. These are alternative instruments are backed by real assets like commercial properties or infrastructure and offer the potential for capital appreciation and relatively stable asset-backed income.  


	 


	Who is the fund suitable for


	Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund may be considered by:


	
		
			Investors looking for lower volatility options with liquidity
	
	
		
			Those who want reduced risk but with some exposure to upside
	
	
		
			Those seeking an option to park funds to deploy later
	
	
		
			People exploring alternatives to traditional savings plans or fixed deposits*.

<title>Why should you invest in the Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund</title>

<description><![CDATA[ Bajaj Finserv Asset Management Limited has launched a new mutual fund scheme for investors who want to grow their wealth steadily in long term while keeping their risk in check; the Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund. The New Fund Offer of this scheme opened on 28th July 2025 and it will end on 11th August 2025.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Why Should You Invest in Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund


	 


	This scheme is designed for people who want a balance of growth, stability, and flexibility. It can be a suitable option for investors who are not comfortable taking high risks but still want relatively better returns than traditional savings options. Let&#039;s understand what this fund is, how it works, and why it could be a suitable addition to your investment portfolio.


	 


	What is the Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund


	The Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund is a type of mutual fund that invests in a mix of equity (stocks), arbitrage opportunities, and debt instruments (like bonds or government securities).


	
		
			Equity helps the fund capture growth when markets go up.
	
	
		
			Arbitrage takes advantage of price differences in stocks in different markets for low-risk returns.
	
	
		
			Debt provides relatively steady income and reduces overall risk.
	



	 


	By mixing these three components, the fund aims to offer growth potential from equity and relative stability from debt, making it comparatively less volatile than a pure equity fund.


	 


	Why choose an equity savings fund


	Many investors want to grow their money but hesitate to invest in equity because of market ups and downs. This fund gives you the opportunity to invest in equity without facing high volatility.


	 


	Here&#039;s how it helps:


	Lower risk, lower volatility


	One of the biggest advantages of the Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund is its relatively lesser drawdown, that means the fund does not fall as sharply as pure equity funds during market corrections. It gives you peace of mind when markets are unpredictable.


	 


	Balanced strategy


	The fund follows a balanced strategy. It doesn&#039;t bet heavily on any one asset class. When equity markets perform well, the fund benefits. When they fall, the debt and arbitrage parts cushion the impact. This keeps your investment journey smoother.


	 


	No lock-in period


	Unlike tax-saving ELSS or fixed deposits, this fund comes with no lock-in period. You can withdraw your money whenever you want. This flexibility makes it a suitable option for both short- and medium-term financial needs.


	 


	Suitable for &#039;Park and Grow&#039; Investors


	Are you someone who has exited equity markets and is waiting for the right time to re-enter Or maybe youre sitting on cash after a big withdrawal The Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund offers a suitable parking option.


	 


	It lets you park your money in a low-volatility fund while still getting some exposure to equity. You&#039;re not just keeping money idle; it grows while you wait for the next big opportunity.


	 


	This &#039;Park and Grow&#039; strategy can be suitable for cautious investors who want both relative stability and some returns.


	 


	Who should invest


	This fund is suitable for:


	
		
			First-time mutual fund investors looking for a low-risk entry into equity funds.
	
	
		
			Retired individuals wanting low volatility and relatively better returns than traditional investment options
	
	
		
			Investors shifting out of equity and looking for a temporary but productive parking space
	
	
		
			Anyone seeking a balance between risk and return
	



	 


	Investing Made Easy with SIPs


	One of the ways to invest in this fund is through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP). SIPs let you invest small amounts regularly like Rs. 500 or Rs. 1000 a month and build wealth slowly over time.


	 


	Using an SIP calculator, you can estimate how much your investment will grow over the years, depending on how much you invest and for how long. This can help you plan better and stay on track to reach your financial goals.


	 


	Conclusion


	The Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund offers a balanced solution for investors who want to grow their wealth steadily without high levels of risk. With its unique mix of equity, arbitrage, and debt, it delivers growth potential and stability in one fund.


	 


	There is no lock-in period, so your money remains accessible, and its tax-friendly nature adds to the appeal.


	 


	Whether you&#039;re just starting your investment journey or are looking for a relatively stable place to park your funds, the Bajaj Finserv Equity Savings Fund can be an addition to your portfolio.


	 


	If you&#039;re planning to invest through SIPs, don&#039;t forget to use an SIP calculator to get a clearer picture of your returns and how your money could grow over time.


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ For many entrepreneurs and small business owners in India, the biggest hurdle to growth is not a lack of ideas-but a lack of timely funds. Whether it&#039;s a sudden inventory requirement, delayed client payments, or the need to invest in equipment or staff, the absence of working capital can bring business operations to a grinding halt. These cash flow constraints can affect everything from daily operations to long-term expansion plans.

	Why choose Bajaj Finserv Business Loan


	Whether it is addressing working capital needs, exploring a cash credit loan for operational flexibility, or investing in business growth, Bajaj Finserv Business Loan is designed to support financial goals with ease and speed.


	 


	Key features include:


	High loan amounts of up to Rs. 80 lakh
	Bajaj Finserv Business Loan offers substantial loan limits that empower entrepreneurs and businesses to meet a wide range of funding requirements-from scaling operations and purchasing inventory to upgrading infrastructure and investing in marketing. With access to up to Rs. 80 lakh, business owners can confidently pursue large-scale goals without financial hesitation.


	 


	No collateral required
	These business loans are completely unsecured, which means business owners don&#039;t need to mortgage their property or pledge assets to get the funding they need. This reduces the risk for the borrower and simplifies the application process, making funds more accessible, especially for small and medium-sized businesses.


	 


	Fast approval and disbursal, often within 48 hours*
	Time is money in business, and Bajaj Finance understands that. With a streamlined approval process and minimal documentation, funds are typically disbursed within 48 hours of approval*. This ensures that business owners can seize time-sensitive opportunities or address urgent financial needs without delay.


	 


	Flexible repayment tenure from 12 to 96 months
	Every business has unique cash flow patterns, and flexibility in repayment is crucial. Bajaj Finance allows borrowers to choose a repayment term between 1 year (12 months) and 8 years (96 months), helping them manage EMIs in line with their income cycles and financial planning.


	 


	Online process through the app or website

<description><![CDATA[ Investing in digital gold has emerged as a modern, secure, and flexible way for individuals to grow their wealth. Unlike traditional gold, which requires physical storage and raises security concerns, digital gold offers a safer alternative. One can buy and hold pure 24K gold online, backed by real assets stored in insured vaults.


	 


	It is especially suited for those wanting to invest small amounts regularly. Digital gold apps also let investors check live market trends and ensure liquidity without worrying about safety. Platforms like Wizely make the entire experience even more seamless, combining ease of use with high levels of security and transparency.


	 


	Physical Gold vs Digital Gold


	Choosing between physical gold and digital gold depends on factors like convenience, cost, and security. While both serve as valuable assets, their features differ significantly. The table below highlights the key differences to help make an informed decision.


	 


	
		
			
				
					Aspect
			
			
				
					Physical Gold
			
			
				
					Digital Gold
			
		
		
			
				
					Definition
			
			
				
					Purity may vary and is not always guaranteed at 99.99%
			
			
				
					Assured purity, typically 24-karat (99.99%)
			
		
		
			
				
					Pricing
			
			
				
					Varies by seller and location
			
			
				
					Uniform nationwide, based on live market rates
			
		
		
			
				
					Minimum Investment
			
			
				
					Requires purchase in fixed weights like 10 grams, needing a higher amount
			
			
				
					Allows purchase in small quantities or fixed value, starting from Rs. 100
			
		
		
			
				
					Additional Charges
			
			
				
					Includes 20%-30% making charges on jewellery
			
			
				
					Only 3% GST is applicable; no making or hidden fees
			
		
		
			
				
					Storage Needs
			
			
				
					Needs lockers or home safekeeping; risk of theft or damage
			
			
				
					Stored securely in insured vaults by the seller, eliminating storage concerns
			
		
		
			
				
					Ease of Redemption
			
			
				
					One can buy it easily, but resale often limited to jewellers
			
			
				
					One can convert it to cash or redeem it as coins/bullion
			
		
		
			
				
					Accessibility
			
			
				
					One needs to visit a physical store or bank to purchase
			
			
				
					One can buy or sell it anytime, anywhereusing a digital gold app
			
		
	



	 


	Why Choose Digital Gold


	Digital gold combines the timeless value of gold with the ease and efficiency of technology. It offers a smart, secure, and flexible way to save and grow wealth in today&#039;s fast-paced world. Here are a few key benefits investors can consider:


	
		
			Acts as a stable safety net during market downturns
	
	
		
			Offers quick access to funds in emergencies through easy liquidation
	
	
		
			Combines traditional gold value with modern, secure technology
	
	
		
			Eliminates making charges and locker fees associated with physical gold
	
	
		
			Stored safely in insured vaults at no additional cost
	
	
		
			Enables low-cost, fractional investing starting from minimal amounts
	
	
		
			Ideal for beginners and those building wealth gradually or without a large corpus
	
	
		
			Eliminates concerns related to physical storage, theft, or loss
	
	
		
			Simplifies gifting by allowing digital transfers for any occasion
	
	
		
			Recipients can hold or convert the gold as preferred
	
	
		
			Preserves the cultural value of gold in a modern format
	



	 


	Taxation on Digital Gold


	Taxation on digital gold applies in the same manner as physical gold. While offering a modern and convenient way to invest, gold investment is subject to capital gains tax. The holding period directly impacts tax liability and overall returns.


	 


	When investors hold digital gold for 24 months or more, it is treated as a long-term capital asset. In this case, a tax rate of 12.5% is applicable with a cess. If sold before 36 months, the gains are considered short-term, and tax is applicable as per the investor&#039;s income tax slab.


	 


	Getting Started with Digital Gold Investment on Wizely


	To invest in digital gold with Wizely, investors can download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. The following steps outline the process:


	
		
			Enter a mobile number and email address, then verify through OTP
	
	
		
			Set a secure 4-digit PIN to protect access
	
	
		
			Provide the full name as per PAN card records
	
	
		
			On the home screen, select the &#039;Buy Gold&#039; option
	
	
		
			Choose the investment amount, starting from Rs. 100
	
	
		
			Complete KYC by entering the PAN number
	
	
		
			Make the payment; the gold rate remains fixed for 7 minutes during this step
	



	This straightforward process enables investors to safely and efficiently start investing in digital gold through the Wizely platform.


	 


	Buying digital gold is a smart and accessible way to grow wealth. It removes the limitations of traditional investment methods. On the WizelyApp, users can experience a seamless platform to start investing in gold from just Rs. 100. It offers real-time pricing and secure, insured storage.

<title>Looking forward, not behind: How Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund seeks out tomorrow&amp;apos;s potential winners</title>

<description><![CDATA[ When people think about investing, they often turn to companies that are already large and well-known. But long-term potential doesn&#039;t come only from past leaders. As broad structural changes-known as megatrends-reshape economies and industries, new kinds of opportunities are beginning to emerge.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund follows a megatrends investing approach


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund takes a future-focused approach by identifying businesses aligned with these evolving themes. These could include established companies that continue to adapt, or newer ones building their growth on emerging shifts. The aim is to stay aligned with tomorrow&#039;s direction, not just yesterday&#039;s winners.


	 


	Future focused 


	Stock indices usually reflect companies that have already done well in the past. These businesses have grown enough to be included in benchmarks, but a big part of their early growth is already behind them.


	 


	On the other hand, companies that are still building their base, especially in areas driven by long-term changes, may offer more room to grow. The tricky part is identifying them early-when they&#039;re still outside the spotlight but showing signs of future strength.


	 


	The role of megatrends


	So, how do you find these kinds of companies One way is to track what are called megatrends-big, slow-moving changes that are shaping the world. These aren&#039;t short-term fads. They are deep, structural shifts that affect how people live, what they consume, and how businesses operate.


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund focuses on six such megatrends that have the potential to shape India&#039;s growth trajectory:


	
		
			Technology: Digital transformation, automation, and AI are changing how we work and live.
	
	
		
			Policy and regulation: Initiatives aimed at building local manufacturing or boosting clean energy are opening new business opportunities.
	
	
		
			Economic changes: Growth in financial services, formalisation of the economy, and rising infrastructure investment are creating ripple effects across sectors.
	
	
		
			Environment: The move towards sustainability is increasing demand for renewable energy, eco-friendly packaging, and green products.
	
	
		
			Demographics: India&#039;s young and growing population is driving demand in healthcare, housing, and consumer goods.
	
	
		
			Social preferences: Health, wellness, convenience, and digital connectivity are shaping how people spend and what they value.
	



	 


	These megatrends are not tied to just one sector. They cut across industries and can create space for new kinds of businesses to emerge and grow.


	 


	What Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund seeks to do


	The Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund keeps these long-term shifts in mind while building its portfolio. Instead of focusing only on established companies, the fund also looks for businesses that could lead the charge tomorrow.


	 


	Because it&#039;s a flexi cap fund, it can invest across large cap, mid cap, and small cap stocks. This gives it the flexibility to explore opportunities wherever they may lie-whether in a well-known company or a lesser-known business.


	 


	The fund also considers important factors like how well a company manages its finances, how scalable its business is, and whether its valuation seems reasonable for the risk involved.


	 


	Looking ahead, not just at what&#039;s worked before


	Markets change, and so do companies. What worked well in the last decade may not lead the next one. That&#039;s why having an investment approach that stays open to change-rather than just following what&#039;s already trending-can make a over the long term.


	 


	Of course, there&#039;s no guaranteed outcome, and all investing comes with risk. But by looking at where the world is heading-and not just where it&#039;s been-it may be possible to spot new opportunities earlier.


	 


	Funds like Bajaj Finserv Flexi Cap Fund are designed to bring some of that future-facing thinking into investing. Those who are comfortable with the risks of equity markets and want to explore long-term themes can consider this kind of approach as part of a diversified portfolio.

<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/unlock-the-power-of-investing-wisely-with-digital-gold-on-the-wizely-app</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/unlock-the-power-of-investing-wisely-with-digital-gold-on-the-wizely-app</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Buying digital gold on the Wizely App allows savvy users to invest in 24K, 99.99% pure gold with a minimum investment of just Rs. 100 with access to live gold rates 24X7.


	 


	Apart from eliminating safety and purity concerns, Wizely ensures that investing in gold is accessible to all, irrespective of savings, income, or market knowledge. Read on to know how Wizely is innovating gold investment in 2025.


	 


	What Makes Wizely a Smart Option


	Here&#039;s how Wizely is making investing in gold easier.


	 


	Simplified Registration


	The entire investment process, from KYC (Know Your Customer) formalities to buying and selling, takes place online through the app. There is no physical paperwork, and users dont need a Demat account. This significantly simplifies the entire experience.


	 


	Access to the Latest Gold Rate


	The Wizely App provides real-time updates of gold prices. This enables customers to make informed decisions about when to buy or sell, helping maximise their returns.


	 


	The dashboard provides a complete breakdown of the amount of gold purchased and the applicable GST, ensuring the customer has complete clarity.


	 


	Flexible and Fractional Purchase


	With Wizely, anyone can buy gold in small fractions. Customers dont need to save up for an entire gram or more. This allows for flexible investment, where one can invest small amounts regularly and gradually build one&#039;s gold portfolio. Users can start investing in gold with as little as Rs. 100.


	 


	Secure and Transparent


	Gold is stored in insured, bank-grade vaults, removing the risks and inconveniences associated with physical gold storage. Wizely partners with reputable digital gold providers, such as SafeGold, and trusted storage partners, adding a layer of security.


	 


	Swift Withdrawal and Conversion


	Users can buy or sell their digital gold directly from the app at any time, and the funds are typically credited to their bank account instantly. This high liquidity makes digital gold a flexible investment, providing quick access to funds when needed.


	 


	Benefits of Digital Gold Over Physical Gold


	Customers may consider investing in digital gold instead of physical gold for the following reasons.


	 


	Convenience


	Digital gold can be purchased and sold online with just a few clicks through various platforms, including digital gold apps. This eliminates the need to visit a jeweller or find a buyer. Unlike physical gold, which is limited by business hours, a digital gold app operates 24X7, allowing users to buy or sell at any time.


	 


	Fractional Ownership


	One can buy digital gold in very small denominations, such as 0.01 grams. This makes gold investment accessible to a wider range of investors, even those with limited capital, allowing for systematic investments.


	 


	Eliminates Storage Hassles


	One of the biggest concerns with physical gold is its storage. Customers need to put in time and effort to either store in it a bank locker or at home by investing in a safe. Digital gold does away with these hassles.


	 


	The provider ensures that physical gold that is equivalent to a user&#039;s digital purchase is stored in  highly secure insured vaults. This eliminates the customer&#039;s personal responsibility and the risks of theft, loss, or damage.


	 


	Guaranteed Purity


	When a user buys digital gold, they are typically assured of 24k, 99.99% pure gold. This eliminates concerns about the purity and authenticity that can arise with physical gold.


	 


	No Making Charges


	Digital gold on the Wizely App does not involve any making charges. This is a significant cost associated with gold jewellery and reduces one&#039;s investment value. Since these additional costs are not applicable, the full value of a user&#039;s investment goes toward owning gold.


	 


	Steps to Buy Digital Gold on the Wizley App


	When one is ready to invest in digital gold on the Wizley App, the process is simple.


	
		
			Step 1: Download the Wizley App from the App Store or Play Store
	
	
		
			Step 2: Register with a mobile number and email address
	
	
		
			Step 3: Set up a PIN for security
	
	
		
			Step 4: Click on &#039;Gold&#039; on the bottom tab
	
	
		
			Step 5: Check the current gold rate on the dashboard

	NFO Ends Today: Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund


	 


	An open ended equity scheme predominantly investing in small cap stocks, this small cap fund invests in companies that rank 251st and beyond in terms of market capitalization on the share market as per SEBI guidelines.


	 


	Small cap funds can be a potential opportunity for investors who have a higher risk appetite and a relatively longer investment horizon. The small cap sector includes several growing businesses that have the potential to transform into tomorrows market leaders.


	 


	What is a small cap fund


	A small cap fund primarily invests in companies that often in their growth phase and may offer a higher upside potential over long term as compared to more established firms. However, they can also carry higher market risks and may be more sensitive to short-term market movements.


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund aims to identify businesses that have strong fundamentals but are trading below their intrinsic value due to temporary market shifts. The fund is supported by Bajaj Finserv AMC&#039;s proprietary investment philosophy INQUBE that ensures bottom-up stock selection and focuses on companies that have sustainable business models, credible fundamentals, and the potential to scale over time.

	Due to a portfolio that&#039;s spread across sectors, it helps mitigate concentrated risk. Additionally, the fund practises careful risk management and aims to potentially vet companies for speculative bets and focus on businesses with clear growth visibility instead. While the small cap segment can be volatile in the short term, it may help you generate potential wealth in the long term.


	 


	As with any equity investment, it is important to assess whether this fund fits into your overall financial strategy and risk appetite.

<title>Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO: How SIPs Can Help Navigate Volatility</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund-nfo-how-sips-can-help-navigate-volatility</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund-nfo-how-sips-can-help-navigate-volatility</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Small cap funds are known for their potential to deliver higher returns in the long run. These funds invest in companies with a smaller market capitalization-typically those ranked 251 and beyond on recognised stock exchanges. While these businesses are often in their early or expansion stages and have significant growth potential, they can also be more sensitive to market swings compared to large cap counterparts.
	 


	That&#039;s why managing volatility is key-and one potential way to do that is through a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP). SIPs help bring discipline to your investing journey while potentially cushioning short-term ups and downs.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO ends on June 11, 2025
	 


	If you&#039;re seeking to enter the small cap space, you can consider the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund. Launched on June 27, 2025, this new equity fund seeks to manage risk through a structured approach and an emphasis on quality businesses with long-term growth potential and favourable valuations. The fund is currently in its New Fund Offer (NFO) period, which remains open until July 11, 2025.


	 


	Why consider a small cap fund


	If you are an investor with a higher risk appetite, a small cap fund can be a suitable investment for you in the long term. These funds tend to perform across different market cycles, and their returns may not follow typical patterns in the short term. So, while this creates opportunity, it also means that these funds are more sensitive to market conditions and investor sentiment.


	 


	How SIPs help navigate volatility


	Volatility is an inherent part of small cap investing. One way to mitigate risks in these funds is by spreading out your investment over time through an SIP. An SIP allows you to invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, typically monthly.
	 


	SIPs are powered by features like the power of compounding and rupee cost averaging. Here, when markets are low, you buy more SIP units; when the market is high, you buy fewer. Over time, this helps average out your purchase price, which may result in better risk mitigation.
	 


	An SIP also helps you build consistency and discipline-making investing a habit, not a one-time decision. This discipline is especially useful in volatile segments such as small cap funds.


	 


	Aligning SIPs with long-term goals


	When you start an SIP in a small cap fund, you get an opportunity to better align your contribution plan with your financial goals. Whether youre saving for retirement, a child&#039;s education, or building a long-term corpus, having clarity on your objective can help guide how much you invest and for how long.
	 


	The longer you stay invested in a small cap fund, the more time it allows you to potentially recover from short-term fluctuations and build long-term wealth. Since small cap funds take time to realise their growth potential, patience is a key part of the process.


	 


	What to look for when selecting a small cap fund


	Before starting a SIP in a small cap fund, consider evaluating a few important aspects:


	
		
			Investment approach: How does the fund seek to mitigate risk and deliver the potential for long-term growth Review the strategy in detail.
	
	
		
			Fund manager expertise: The ability to identify promising small cap companies requires skill. Look into the manager&#039;s approach and investment philosophy.
	
	
		
			Expense ratio: Over the long term, even small differences in cost can affect your returns.
	
	
		
			Portfolio diversification: Check how diversified the fund is across sectors and companies. A more balanced portfolio may reduce the impact of underperformance in any one stock.
	



	 


	SIP investment: A steady way to participate


	An SIP investment in a small cap fund may allow investors to benefit from the potential upside while managing exposure to risk. By contributing steadily over time, investors may feel less pressure to time the market and more confidence in sticking with their long-term plan.
	 


	Even modest SIP investments, if continued consistently, can add up over time and potentially contribute meaningfully to financial goals.


	 


	Conclusion
	Small cap funds can offer long-term growth potential, but their higher volatility means they may not suit every investor. Starting a SIP investment in a small cap fund-such as the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund (NFO open till July 11, 2025)-may help smooth out the experience, providing a disciplined and gradual approach to building wealth over time. As always, it is advisable to speak with a financial advisor to ensure that your investment choices align with your overall goals and comfort with risk.

<title>NFO ending soon: Five things to consider about the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO</title>

<description><![CDATA[ If youre looking to build wealth in the long term, equity mutual funds may be a suitable option to consider. As part of your mutual fund portfolio, you may also explore small cap funds, which offer exposure to companies in the early stages of their business cycle. These funds typically come with higher volatility but may also present opportunities over a longer investment horizon.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	NFO ending soon: Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund is an open ended equity scheme that predominantly invests in small cap stocks. It is designed to explore businesses with growth potential and evolving fundamentals.


	 


	Here are five considerations that may be relevant when evaluating this NFO as part of a diversified investment approach.


	 


	1. Opportunity to invest in early-stage businesses


	Small cap companies are typically younger firms that are still expanding their market reach, product lines, or operational efficiency. These businesses may not yet be widely tracked by analysts, which may create opportunities for skilled fund managers to identify companies at relatively better valuations.


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO aims to invest in such early-stage companies with sound fundamentals, giving investors potential exposure to businesses before they scale up. Of course, this also comes with the possibility of volatility, which makes a longer investment horizon relevant.


	 


	2. Diversified stock selection across sectors


	Small cap companies span a wide range of industries from manufacturing and engineering to digital services, logistics, and consumer products. This provides an opportunity to diversify across emerging sectors that may be underrepresented in large or mid cap portfolios.


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO seeks to build a diversified portfolio of small cap stocks, potentially reducing concentration risk and offering a broad-based exposure to high-growth themes. Sector allocation and stock selection may evolve over time based on market trends and valuation dynamics.


	 


	3. Focus on quality and governance


	One of the key concerns with small cap investing is business sustainability and transparency. The fund&#039;s stated philosophy places emphasis on selecting companies with good governance practices, aligned promoter interests, and scalable business models.


	 


	While past performance of underlying businesses is not a guarantee of future outcomes, a focus on these filters may help in building a potentially robust portfolio under the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO. Investors shall understand the fund&#039;s investment approach and process before making any decision.


	 


	4. Active management in a less researched space


	The small cap universe is relatively under-researched compared to large cap stocks. This may create opportunities for experienced fund managers to find mispriced or overlooked companies based on bottom-up research.


	 


	By participating in the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO, investors gain access to an actively managed strategy where professional expertise is applied to uncover value in this segment. This approach may work better for investors who do not have the time or tools to analyse individual small cap stocks on their own.


	 


	5. Suitable for long-term investors with higher risk tolerance


	Small cap funds may not suit every investor. Due to their volatility, they may witness sharper fluctuations during market cycles. However, for investors with a long-term outlook and the ability to stay invested through ups and downs, they may potentially complement a diversified equity portfolio.


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO may be considered by those who are comfortable with short-term market movement and are looking to tap into the potential of emerging companies over the long run.


	 


	Considering it as part of your broader mutual fund strategy


	Pairing the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO with large cap or hybrid funds may help manage overall volatility and may suit a variety of goals and risk profiles.


	 


	Investors using SIPs may potentially navigate market volatility through staggered investments. It is also advisable to use an SIP calculator to make a well-informed investing decision. The choice to invest should be guided by your goals, risk appetite, and investment horizon.


	 


	Conclusion


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO may be suitable for investors seeking long-term exposure to high-growth potential businesses. With its focus on identifying quality small cap companies, active management, and diversified approach, the fund may potentially find a place in a diversified constructed portfolio. However, like all equity investments, it carries market-linked risks.


	 


	If youre considering adding a small cap fund to your mix, it may be worthwhile to evaluate whether this NFO aligns with your financial objectives and risk comfort. As with all mutual fund decisions, consulting with a financial advisor is recommended before investing.


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>Digital Gold on Wizely: Your Smart Path to Quick Investments</title>

<description><![CDATA[ In an age where digital solutions are transforming every aspect of our lives, there is no surprise that traditional investment avenues are also getting a modern makeover. Gold, a timeless symbol of wealth and security, is no longer confined to its physical form.


	
	Tech-savvy investors are now embracing the potential of digital gold. It is a convenient, secure, and accessible way to invest in this precious metal. For investors seeking a smart and efficient way to diversify with gold, the Wizely App is a compelling solution.


	
	Why to Choose Digital Gold on Wizely
	Understanding what makes Wizely a landmark solution for gold investment can prove to be a smart move for wealth building. Here are some reasons why Wizely offers value and convenience.


	
	Affordable Gold Investment 
	Users can start investing in digital gold online with amounts as small as INR 100 on Wizely. This freedom makes the investment accessible to a wide range of investors, including beginners, individuals with limited savings, and freelancers with unpredictable income. It also makes flexible, incremental savings possible-ideal for both first-time and seasoned investors.


	
	Thus, unlike physical gold, which often requires the investor to buy in fixed quantities, e.g., 10g or more, digital gold allows for fractional investments. This means one can buy gold in tiny units. Unlike gold jewellery, digital gold purchases do not incur additional making charges, ensuring that the entire investment goes towards pure gold.


	
	Purity And Authenticity
	Wizely allows investors to invest in 99.99% pure 24K gold. This gold is certified by trusted providers, such as SafeGold (which is NABL-certified), eliminating concerns about purity and authenticity.


	
	Hassle-Free Option 
	When investing in digital gold, customers do not need to worry about physically storing gold, renting lockers, or the risk of theft. Wizelys partners hold gold safely in high-security, insured vaults.


	
	This eliminates the additional expenses associated with securing physical gold. The apps intuitive interface also makes the entire process easy, from registration and KYC to tracking, buying, and selling digital gold online.


	
	High Liquidity
	Wizly allows users to sell their digital gold on the app and receive funds directly into their bank account, making it a highly liquid asset. Funds from gold sales are credited instantly, making it easy to access cash for emergencies or planned expenses.


	
	Transparency and Safety
	Customers can check live market rates for gold on the app, which enables them to track their investment&#039;s value in real time and make informed buying or selling decisions. What&#039;s more, users can lock in prices at the moment of purchase or sale, ensuring full transparency and control over their investment.


	
	How to Invest in Digital Gold 
	Unlike some other gold investment options, one doesnt need a Demat account to invest in digital gold online through Wizely. Here are the steps to follow:


	 


	Step 1: Download and Register


	First, users need to download the Wizely App on their smartphone. This gives them access to their investment any time, anywhere. This also saves time when one needs to take advantage of lucrative gold rates before they fluctuate.


	 


	After downloading the app, users must provide their name, email address, and mobile number for registration. By providing the OTP, the users can complete the registration process. Additionally, users must set up a PIN for added security.


	 


	Step 2: Track Live Gold Prices


	Once registered, the user can check the current gold rate. This helps the investor make an informed decision.


	 


	Step 3: Select the Investment Amount


	On the dashboard, the user gets two options. They can either invest based on the sum they want to invest or as per the weight of gold. If they choose to invest a fixed value, the dashboard shows them the weight of gold they are purchasing, the applicable GST and the total payable amount.


	 


	Similarly, if they choose to invest in a fixed amount of gold, such as 0.1g, 0.5g, 1g, 1.5g, etc., the dashboard displays the corresponding calculations. They can check the total amount of gold they are buying, the applicable GST, and the total amount. This ensures transparency. 


	 


	Step 4: Complete KYC Verification


	After choosing the gold amount, the next step is to complete the KYC for verification. For this, the investor can use their PAN card number.


	 


	Step 5: Make the Payment


	The final step before completing the gold purchase is to transfer the amount. Wizley allows users to make UPI payments, which is both quick and easy. Once the payment is successful, users receive instant confirmation of their digital gold purchase. 


	 


	Step 6: Track the Investment


	The purchased digital gold will be credited to the users Wizely account. They can then track their gold holdings, view real-time price updates, and monitor their investments value directly within the apps dashboard. They can also sell instantly for liquidity or redeem for physical gold if desired. 


	 


	With Wizley, one can invest based on their goals, with customisable and fractional investment options. All the digital gold is 24K, 99.99% pure gold, certified by SafeGold. To get started, download the Wizely App and explore this rewarding investment option. ]]></description>

<title>Understanding the unique features of Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/understanding-the-unique-features-of-bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/understanding-the-unique-features-of-bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund is an open ended equity scheme predominantly investing in small cap stocks. It is an equity fund that invests in companies in their early stage of business growth. These companies rank 251st and beyond on the share market in terms of market capitalisation as per SEBI guidelines and they often operate in niche market sectors. As the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO nears its end, this can be a potentially suitable opportunity for you to explore the small cap space.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Features of Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund


	 


	Let&#039;s explore how the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund may potentially fit into your mutual fund portfolio.


	 


	Focus on quality to manage volatility


	Investing in a small cap company comes with its share of volatility. Being new businesses, they are more sensitive to market cycles, funding challenges and competitive pressure.


	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund addresses all these challenges through a quality-driven, research-backed stock-selection process. This means that the fund seeks to invest in companies that have strong fundamentals and suitable management practices. By focusing on businesses like these, the fund aims to minimise exposure to speculative companies and build a potentially robust portfolio that may be more suitable in the long run. However, it must be noted that even a quality portfolio cannot be immune to short-term market movements. 


	 


	Targeting long-term scalable growth


	One of the main objectives of the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund is to select companies that have the capacity to scale in the future. This means that these companies are usually aligned to India&#039;s broader structural shifts.


	 


	This fund also looks for long-term growth stories that are backed by sustainable businesses not just short-term gains. This emphasis on scalable growth, when combined with valuation discipline, is intended to support long-term wealth creation potential for investors.


	 


	A research-driven and disciplined approach


	The small cap sectors can often have companies that are under-researched and overlooked. Many have limited analyst coverage or inconsistent disclosures. To overcome this, the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund relies on in-depth analysis and Bajaj Finserv AMC&#039;s proprietary INQUBE philosophy to evaluate opportunities.


	 


	This means scanning companies for their fundamentals, business models, and management track records. The fund management team also takes a meticulous approach to constructing the portfolio, seeking diversification across sectors.


	 


	Through this active management of the fund, the portfolio may be able to respond to market movements and keep a long-term focus rather than be influenced by short-term switches.


	 


	Who can consider investing


	Here&#039;s a couple of deciding factors you may consider when investing in the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund:


	
		
			Your risk appetite - If you are someone with a higher risk appetite, this mutual fund may be a suitable option for you
	
	
		
			Your investment horizon - If you are looking to invest for a longer period, the small cap space may be a potential option to explore
	
	
		
			Your portfolio diversification - If you are looking to diversify your portfolio, a mutual fund in the small cap segment may be your opportunity to potentially add variety to your portfolio
	



	Considering all this, if you are still averse to exploring the small cap segment, you can start with a Systematic Investment Plan in the mutual fund of your choice. In this scenario, doing an SIP in the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund may help you gradually build exposure in the small cap space while mitigating market risks and building long-term participation. You can consider using an SIP calculator to calculate your monthly SIP amount based on your financial goals.


	 


	How to invest


	You can invest in the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund online through the official Bajaj Finserv AMC website or via authorised mutual fund distributors. Investments can be made through direct or regular plans. To learn more about the investment process, visit www.bajajamc.com.


	 


	Units will be available at an offer price of Rs. 10 per unit during the NFO period (June 27, 2025 - July 11, 2025).


	 


	Conclusion


	If you are looking to venture into small cap investing, the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund may offer you an entry point with its structured and quality-focused approach. The fund invests in companies that are trading under their intrinsic value due to a temporary shift which means that you can add companies with sustainable practices to your portfolio.


	 


	Before investing, it is advisable to assess whether this fund aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. Investors may also explore systematic investing options like SIPs and consult a financial advisor to make a well-informed decision.


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>FD App Vs Traditional Fixed Deposits: Which One Is Better for Investment</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/fd-app-vs-traditional-fixed-deposits-which-one-is-better-for-investment</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/fd-app-vs-traditional-fixed-deposits-which-one-is-better-for-investment</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Fixed Deposits (FDs) have been a secure and reliable investment for Indians across generations. This financial instrument encourages savings with low risk against market volatility. Now, with an FD app, booking a deposit is easier than ever. With digital technology driving this traditional investment, growing one&#039;s savings is easier than ever.


	 


	Smart platforms like Wizely make investing in an FD online convenient, safe, and quick. It allows users to book deposits across reputable issuers, track their interest income, and access easy liquidity without hassles.


	 


	Disadvantages of Booking Fixed Deposits the Traditional Way


	Before investing, it is essential to understand the drawbacks or inconveniences that may be associated with traditional FD options.


	
		
			Opening and managing FDs in the traditional way often requires visiting a bank branch, filling out forms, and dealing with paperwork. This can be a time-consuming process.
	
	
		
			It is more challenging to compare interest rates and features across multiple banks or issuers when booking fixed deposits the traditional way. One would typically have to visit each bank individually or open each website/app.
	
	
		
			Traditional FDs usually do not offer the same level of real-time income interest tracking and digital management that app-based platforms provide.
	



	 


	What Makes Wizely A Better Option


	Here are some of the key features that make it easy to invest in an FD via Wizely compared to traditional, offline investments.


	 


	
		
			Higher Interest Rates
	



	Wizely enables users to compare interest rates and tenures and book fixed deposits from various RBI-licensed banks and NBFC partners. At the moment, users can benefit from competitive interest rates, starting from 9.10% p.a. and enjoy a larger payout.


	 


	
		
			Convenience and Accessibility
	



	The entire process of exploring, comparing, and booking an FD is online with Wizely. This eliminates the need for physical visits to financial institutions, filing paperwork, and waiting in long queues.


	 


	Users can complete the Know Your Customer (KYC) process digitally by linking their account with PAN through DigiLocker, making the process quick, safe, and hassle-free.


	 


	
		
			Equivalent Security
	



	FDs offered by banks and booked through Wizely come with insurance of up to ₹5 lakh by the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC). This provides an added layer of security for the investment.


	 


	
		
			Real-Time Tracking and Management
	



	Wizely offers an intuitive dashboard, enabling investors to track their FD investments, interest earned, maturity dates, and reinvestment options in real-time, all from their smartphones. This level of transparency and control helps users better plan their investments and finances.


	 


	
		
			Easy Liquidity 
	



	The app allows investors to withdraw their FD early if needed, providing greater liquidity. This is especially useful in emergencies. Upon maturity, the investor can easily choose to reinvest or have the maturity amount credited directly to their bank account without any extra steps or paperwork.


	 


	Steps to Invest in FDs on the Wizley App


	To maximise convenience, Wizely ensures the process of booking a fixed deposit is easy. One can follow these steps.


	 


	
		
			Downloading and Registration
	



	To begin the investment process, users can download the Wizely App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, depending on the device. After that, users can open the app and register their profile using their mobile number and email address. After verifying their mobile number with an OTP (One-Time Password), set up a secure PIN for app access.


	 


	
		
			Exploring FD options 
	



	After successful registration, customers can explore the FD interest rates from the top issuers on the dashboard. Wizely partners with multiple RBI-licensed banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs). The app will display a list of available FDs from these partners. One can also choose an issuer based on the tenure.


	 


	
		
			Completing the Digital KYC Process 
	



	This is a mandatory step for financial investments. Users typically need to complete their Know Your Customer (KYC) verification digitally by linking their account to their PAN for verification. Wizely facilitates this through DigiLocker for a seamless process.


	 


	
		
			Choosing Flexible Terms
	



	Once the user has chosen the issuer, the next step is to enter the amount they wish to deposit, the investment tenure, and the preferred payout option.


	 


	
		
			Transferring Funds 
	



	After choosing the desirable deposit terms, investors can make the payment to complete the deposit directly. With Wizley, they can directly link their existing bank account, and there is no need to open a new bank account. After successful payment, they will receive an instant confirmation of their FD booking.


	 


	Following these steps, users can successfully book an FD online through the Wizley App from the comfort of their homes.


	 


	One additional perk of booking a deposit through an FD app is that investors can keep track of it through the app. Traditionally, reaching out to the banking executive can be a hassle as compared to booking an FD online. In the case of a national holiday, one may have to wait until the next working day. This is not the case with Wizley, which offers users complete control over their investment around the clock. One can download the Wizely App today and experience the future of fixed deposits right now! ]]></description>

<title>Avoiding Risk vs Preparing for it: How Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund Can Help</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/avoiding-risk-vs-preparing-for-it-how-bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund-can-help</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/avoiding-risk-vs-preparing-for-it-how-bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund-can-help</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ When it comes to investing in small cap funds, the fear of risk often dissuades investors. However, it is important to consider that taking a more structured approach to investing can help in mitigating market risks.
	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund is designed with this philosophy in mind. It comprises strategic insights and disciplined execution to help investors explore more opportunities in the small cap market.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Invest in Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund NFO
	 


	Understanding small caps


	Small cap funds consist of companies that typically rank 251st and beyond in market capitalization as per SEBI&#039;s guidelines. These businesses are often in their novice stages, operating in emerging sectors, this means that they have a potential to scale rapidly. While this can come with a higher volatility, it can also potentially create space for long-term value discovery.
	 


	What differentiates small caps from others is their potential to bounce back from market fluctuations. Hence, through the suitable selection process, small caps can potentially help grow wealth in the long run, making them a viable part of a broader mutual fund portfolio.
	 


	Risk isn&#039;t the enemy


	It is essential to understand and manage risk when investing in small cap funds instead of fearing it. Unlike large cap companies that can already be priced efficiently in the market, small caps can be mispriced or overlooked presenting an opportunity for a potential entry point into the market.
	 


	Instead of trying to avoid risks, you can take a structured approach which can help you mitigate market volatility. This includes diversifying across sectors and tracking company fundamentals while being mindful of governance quality.
	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund approach


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund has a 3-in-1 advantage of Growth, Quality and Value. The fund&#039;s framework seeks out companies that are scalable, fundamentally strong and trading at prices lower than their intrinsic value. The fund is influenced by Bajaj Finserv AMC&#039;s proprietary INQUBE philosophy. It is managed by an experienced team that applies both top-down trends and bottom-up stock analysis.
	 


	It focuses on five key pillars:


	
		
			Quality: Companies with sound fundamentals and consistent performance
	
	
		
			Growth: Businesses with long-term scalability potential
	
	
		
			Undervalued opportunities: Stocks that may be temporarily mispriced
	
	
		
			Leadership: Dominant players in niche or emerging segments
	
	
		
			Governance: Transparent, well-managed companies with aligned promoter interests
			 
	



	By applying these filters, the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund aims to build a balanced portfolio that can help manage risk while capturing growth potential.
	 


	Planning matters more than timing


	While timing the market can be a good way to manage your investment, it can be a challenging task to keep up with. A more practical way to do this is to invest through a Systematic Investment Plan, which allows you to allocate funds regularly. This can help you potentially reduce the impact of market volatility through rupee cost averaging and promote consistency and discipline.
	 


	You can also use tools like an SWP calculator to plan out your exit strategy. Through a Systematic Withdrawal Plan, you can align your redemptions to your life goals and cash flow needs.
	 


	Conclusion


	Investing in the small cap sector requires both preparation and perspective. The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund offers a thoughtfully designed approach that brings together an ambition to grow while mitigating market risks. For investors who wish to build a long-term portfolio, small cap can offer a suitable opportunity to explore investments with the suitable strategy in place.
	 


	How to invest


	You can invest in the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund online through the official Bajaj Finserv AMC website or via authorised mutual fund distributors. Investments can be made through director regular plans. To learn more about the investment process, visit www.bajajamc.com.
	 


	Units will be available at a offer price of Rs. 10 per unit during the NFO period (June 27, 2025 - July 11, 2025).


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ A fixed deposit is a trusted and secure option for risk-averse individuals. With time, technological advancements have modernised this investment avenue. Today, one no longer needs to visit a bank and complete lengthy paperwork to open a fixed deposit. Instead, consumers can book an FD on a mobile application and even compare rates across financial institutions for the highest returns.


	 


	That is exactly what booking a fixed deposit on the Wizely App enables investors to do. Users can book reliable FDs from anywhere and at any time, enjoying a smooth and secure investment process.


	 


	Benefits of Booking a Fixed Deposit on the Wizely App


	Wizely is a suitable choice for today&#039;s fastest-paced generation, allowing them to grow their savings with a click on their phones. Here&#039;s why.


	 


	Transparency in Comparison 


	When selecting an investment, it is crucial to compare offerings to determine the best-suited option. This is also the case when going for a fixed deposit investment. One must compare rates offered by reputed banks and financial institutions to find the one that offers the highest interest with flexible terms.


	 


	Wizely facilitates this by curating top issuers on its interactive dashboard. Users can easily check the interest rate they can get before choosing the most suitable option. This increases transparency, helping customers make informed decisions.


	 


	Easy Option


	Investing via the Wizely App takes only a few minutes - from selecting the investment terms to making the deposit. Unlike the traditional approach, one does not need to wait for confirmation from a bank executive or wait for the paperwork to be completed. This quick process helps individuals grow their savings promptly and without any hassles.


	 


	Regulated and Secure 


	The Wizely App only features RBI-licensed banks and NBFCs. Thus, investors have peace of mind that their hard-earned savings are secure. Further, users can rely on insurance of up to Rs. 5 lakhs from the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC) on their investment in bank FDs.


	 


	Real-time Tracking


	With Wizely, users can easily stay updated about the growth of their investment. The app provides round-the-clock tracking, enabling investors to plan better as they move closer to their financial goals.


	 


	Swift Liquidity


	On reaching maturity, Wizely automatically sends the funds (including the principal and interest income) to the investors bank account. When it&#039;s time, they can also reinvest the sum with a new fixed deposit. What&#039;s more, users can choose to prematurely withdraw their FD as per the terms of the issuer, and get access to cash for emergencies.

	Top Banks and NBFCs


	On Wizely, one can choose from the following RBI-regulated issuers:


	
		
			Suryodya SF Bank
	
	
		
			Slice SF Bank

	Apply with an Existing Bank Account 


	Customers do not need to create a new bank account at the time of booking a fixed deposit on Wizely. They can simply link their existing bank account to make the deposit and receive the return in the same account at the time of maturity.


	 


	Steps to Invest in an FD on the Wizely App

	Once the account is successfully created, users can tap on &#039;FD&#039; to see FDs with the highest returns. All issuers and their rates are clearly mentioned on the dashboard. They can also filter FDs by tenure.

<title>3&#45;in&#45;1: How Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund Combines Quality, Growth and Value</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/3-in-1-how-bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund-combines-quality-growth-and-value</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/3-in-1-how-bajaj-finserv-small-cap-fund-combines-quality-growth-and-value</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Small cap funds comprise companies that rank 251st and beyond in terms of market capitalisation, as defined by SEBI guidelines. These businesses often are in their early stages of growth and operate in niche markets. But this is dependent on your willingness to ride out the market cycles.
	 


	Small cap companies can be more sensitive to stock market changes however with the suitable strategy they can also offer you potential opportunities in the long-term.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Invest in Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund with 3-in-1 strategy
	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund is built carefully on three key elements - quality, growth and value. Together with Bajaj Finserv AMC&#039;s proprietary INQUBE framework, this fund helps navigate market risks while identifying companies that can potentially grow wealth in the long-term.
	 


	A focused approach to quality


	When investing in the small cap sector, it is essential to pick companies with sound business fundamentals. You can consider factors like steady earnings, a track record of responsible capital allocation and experienced management to make an informed decision.
	 


	By having a quality-first approach, the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund aims to potentially reduce the impact of market downsides that often accompany small cap investing. The fund meticulously selects businesses that have robust financials and sustainable competitive advantages. This filter can help the fund managers limit exposure to companies that can be weaker and more susceptible to market conditions.
	 


	Pursuing long-term growth


	Small cap companies are often in their formative years, operating in emerging markets. While they may lack the expertise larger companies carry, they can display a stronger potential to help grow wealth in the long run.
	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund carefully picks businesses that are scalable, adaptable and a long runway for growth.
	 


	Here, the focus is not only on short-term performance but also on long-term potential that can withstand different market conditions and evolve with time. This can also include companies that are currently potentially benefiting from megatrends such as formalisation, domestic manufacturing, digital adoption and more.
	 


	Finding value in under-researched opportunities


	Small Cap companies are often overlooked due to their relatively lower market capitalisations. This means that fundamentally strong businesses can be valued under their intrinsic value due to temporary setbacks, market movements or other factors.
	 


	Similarly, the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund targets businesses trading below their intrinsic worth with a potential for turnaround, re-rating or re-discovery by the market in time. This bottom-up approach enables assessing long-term potential rather than chasing short-term price movements.
	 


	Combining the three pillars: A differentiated approach


	Each of the three pillars - quality, growth and value, can deliver results individually, but it is their combination that can offer an investor a more holistic portfolio. By not relying on one strategy alone, the fund aims to potentially build diversification in a mutual fund portfolio through companies that are positioned for long-term wealth creation.
	 


	This 3-in-1 advantage also helps with mitigating market risks and reducing expose to fragile businesses by looking at companies that are not just suitable but also sustainable. Lastly, the focus on value helps avoiding overpaying for future expectations.
	 


	The role of active management


	Investing in the small cap sector is not an easy task to manoeuvre. It can be hard to find information on the companies; the businesses can be unstable plus liquidity might vary across stocks. This makes the role of a fund manager relevant when investing in the small cap sector.
	 


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund offers active stock selection, consistent monitoring, and a disciplined rebalancing strategy. With this investment process, the fund is also supported by Bajaj Finserv AMC&#039;s INQUBE philosophy that helps in proprietary research and in-house frameworks that assist in identifying potential opportunities while managing risk.
	 


	Looking at long-term performance potential


	If you are thinking about investing in small cap funds, having a long-term investment horizon can be a more helpful metric than short-term gains. In this scenario, tools like a CAGR calculator can help you calculate the compound annual growth rate of your investment over a specific period, offering you a detailed picture of potential outcomes.
	 


	Finally, it is important to note that past performance can not be an indicator of future returns. You should consider your individual goals, investment timeline and risk appetite before investing.
	 


	How to invest


	You can invest in the Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund online through the official Bajaj Finserv AMC website or via authorised mutual fund distributors. Investments can be made through director regular plans. To learn more about the investment process, visit www.bajajamc.com.
	 


	Units will be available at a offer price of Rs. 10 per unit during the NFO period (June 27, 2025 - July 11, 2025).
	 


	Conclusion


	The Bajaj Finserv Small Cap Fund is structured to explore opportunities in the small cap sector by applying a blend of quality, growth and value. The fund is built with a research-driven approach that can offer investors a suitable entry point into the small cap space while managing market risks. You can consider starting an SIP investment in this scheme.
	 


	As with any investment, it is essential to consult a financial advisor to understand if the fund aligns with your investment objectives and risk appetite. You can explore tools like a CAGR calculator to evaluate potential returns over time and make an informed investment decision.


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ In 2023, Indians invested over Rs. 103 trillion in Fixed Deposits (FDs), as per Business Today. Fixed deposits account for nearly 40% of the annual distribution volume of financial products, and the shift toward digital solutions is transforming how Indians invest in this traditional avenue. The Wizely App for FDs is a prime example of this modernisation. 


	 


	Booking FDs on the Wizely App is both seamless and 100% paperless. With its user-friendly app, Wizely empowers users to explore multiple FD options on a single platform. It offers investors the opportunity to earn higher returns, enjoy greater transparency, and benefit from unmatched convenience. 


	 


	With the ability to invest instantly in a risk-free option for the future, consumers can not only save easily but also save smartly. Here&#039;s how. 


	 


	How Wizely is Modernising Savings  
	By combining technology with a trusted investment avenue, the Wizely App for FDs transforms how users manage their savings. Here&#039;s how investors can benefit from it:


	 


	
		
			Effortless Browsing and Comparing 
	



	Wizely enables users to browse and compare FDs from multiple issuers seamlessly. This eliminates the need to visit multiple websites or branches, consolidating all options into a single, convenient platform. 


	 


	
		
			Creating FDs from RBI-licensed Banks and Top-Rated NBFCs
	



	By offering FDs from RBI-licensed banks and highly reputable NBFCs, Wizely ensures that users can access credible and secure options. This variety also empowers users to choose the option that best fits their financial goals. 


	 


	
		
			Interest Rates up to 9.10% 
	



	The Wizely platform offers interest rates up to 9.10%. This helps users maximise returns on their savings, especially in a fluctuating interest rate environment. 


	 


	
		
			Insured by DICGC up to Rs. 5 Lakhs 
	



	Each FD offered by banks and booked via Wizely is insured up to Rs. 5 Lakhs by the Deposit Insurance and Credit Guarantee Corporation (DICGC). This provides an added layer of safety and reassurance to investors. 


	 


	
		
			No Need for a New Account 
	



	Wizely eliminates the need to open a separate bank account for each FD. Users can invest using their existing account, making the process quicker and more user-friendly. Investors can deposit funds from their existing account and get the complete amount along with interest in the same account upon maturity. 


	 


	
		
			Low Entry Requirement 
	



	With a minimum investment amount of just Rs. 1,000, Wizely lowers the entry barrier for FD investments. It encourages first-time investors to start small and grow confidently. 


	 


	
		
			Pre-mature Withdrawal and Reinvestment Options 
	



	The platform offers flexibility with early withdrawal options. Upon withdrawal request, funds are generally credited within 5-7 working days. Users can also choose to reinvest their maturity proceeds with a few taps. 


	 


	
		
			Easy Monitoring 
	



	Wizely provides an intuitive dashboard where users can monitor all their FDs in one place. From tracking maturity dates to interest earned, everything is presented in the app for easy management of finances. 


	
	Getting Started with Fixed Deposits on Wizely 


	Here is how anyone can start investing smartly, right from their phone. 


	 


	
		
			To get started, download the Wizely App from the Play Store or App Store 
	
	
		
			The user must open the app, enter the mobile number, and verify it with an OTP 
	
	
		
			Confirm email and set a secure app PIN, or go with fingerprint or face recognition for faster logins 
	
	
		
			Enter the full name for the profile setup 
	
	
		
			On the home screen, users can tap on &#039;Invest in FD&#039; 
	
	
		
			To move ahead, users have to enter their PAN and date of birth 
	
	
		
			Users can check out different FD interest rates and tenures, and pick the one that aligns with their goals 
	
	
		
			Once selected, enter the amount they want to invest and complete the payment 
	



	 


	After the FD is booked, tracking, reinvesting, or withdrawing can be managed right within the app. With the Wizely App for FDs, users can book, track, and manage FDs in just a few taps. 


	
	Things to Remember When Using the Wizely App 
	Before diving into FDs through the Wizely App, users should stay informed about a few key points to ensure a smooth experience:


	 


	
		
			A stable internet connection is required for the app to function properly. Users will need it for updates and notifications. 
	
	
		
			All FD bookings and payments are made directly through the user&#039;s individual bank account. 
	
	
		
			At maturity, the amount (with interest) can either be credited back to the same bank account or reinvested. 
	
	
		
			Investments are subject to market risks. Therefore, users should always read the related documents and do an independent evaluation before investing. 
	



	 


	With FDs getting a digital makeover, saving money is no longer a complicated task. By booking FDs on the Wizely App, users can enjoy the power of compounding and invest smart. Whether the goal is to save up for a big purchase or simply to grow wealth safely, Wizely offers an instant and intuitive experience.

<title>Mutual Funds vs Stocks: Which is Suitable for Beginners</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/mutual-funds-vs-stocks-which-is-suitable-for-beginners</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/mutual-funds-vs-stocks-which-is-suitable-for-beginners</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ As someone looking to start their investment journey, one of the most common questions you&#039;d encounter is what is suitable - stocks or mutual funds. While each of these options have their own potential benefits and risks, your choice largely depends on your financial goals, risk appetite, and where you are on your investment journey. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Mutual Funds vs Stocks: Pros and cons


	 


	On one hand, mutual funds can potentially offer diversification and professional management. On the other, stocks offer direct ownership and control. For beginners, understanding the nuances of both can help you lay a suitable foundation that helps with long-term investing. 


	 


	Understanding mutual funds


	Mutual funds pool money from various investors to invest in a diversified portfolio comprising stocks, bonds, or money market instruments. These funds are managed by experts known as fund managers who make investment decisions based on the scheme&#039;s objectives. For novice investors who may not have the time or knowledge of the industry, mutual funds can offer a structured way to participate in equity or debt markets.


	 


	One of the key features of mutual funds is diversification. This helps reduce the overall risk. Since the investment is spread across securities, the impact of underperformance by a single stock or bond can be minimised. Additionally, mutual funds offer various categories based on investment objectives and risk profiles that help you mitigate risks.


	 


	Understanding stocks


	When you invest in stocks, you are basically buying shares of a company, giving you direct ownership. Stock investments can potentially offer higher returns, but they also come with higher risk levels. Thus, stock prices can be volatile and challenging for beginners to navigate.


	 


	stock investing requires a good understanding of business fundamentals, market trends, and company-specific developments. For those new to investing, this can feel overwhelming, especially in the absence of professional advice. However, stocks also provide the flexibility to enter and exit positions at will and can be suitable for investors who wish to take an active role in managing their investments.


	 


	Comparing key differences


	
		
			Management: Mutual funds are professionally managed, while stock investments require self-research and decision-making.
	
	
		
			Diversification: Mutual funds can potentially offer automatic diversification, whereas stock portfolios need to be built manually to spread risk.
	
	
		
			Risk and returns: Stocks may offer higher potential returns but also higher risk. Mutual funds aim to balance risk and return, depending on the type of fund.
	
	
		
			Costs: Costs: Mutual funds come with expense ratios and, in some cases, exit loads. If you invest through a trading account, you will pay brokerage fees too. Stock trading does not have expense ratio but involves brokerage fees. 
	



	 


	Factors to consider before investing


	As a novice investor, the most suitable way for you to enter the world of investing would be through starting an SIP, also known as a Systematic Investment Plan. An SIP allows you to invest small amounts at regular intervals. With its power of compounding and rupee cost averaging feature, SIPs help you develop a disciplined investing habit. For those who wish to take their financial decisions independently, stock investing can be explored as a potential option.


	 


	One important factor to consider before investing is your risk appetite. If you prefer stable investments with potential for long-term growth, mutual funds might be more suitable for you. However, if you&#039;re open to higher risk and potentially higher returns, you can explore stock investing. Although, it is important to note that you need to spend time, effort and energy to understand the stock market.


	 


	How a compound interest calculator can help


	Before starting with either option, using tools like a compound interest calculator can offer useful insights. This calculator can help estimate how your money may grow over time with regular investments and compounding returns. While mutual funds do not guarantee returns, understanding the impact of compounding can help set realistic expectations and track potential progress toward financial goals.


	 


	Conclusion


	There is no single answer to whether mutual funds or stocks are suitable for beginners. It depends on your financial objectives, risk comfort, and level of involvement. Mutual funds may be a suitable starting point for those looking for diversification and professional management, while stocks may suit investors seeking hands-on control. Either way, it is advisable to start with proper planning, use available calculators and tools, and consider consulting a financial advisor to determine a suitable investment approach.


	 


	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>India&#45;Mexico Trade Corridor: Credlix Launches India Sourcing to Strengthen Bilateral Trade and Financing for Mexican Manufacturers</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/india-mexico-trade-corridor-credlix-launches-india-sourcing-to-strengthen-bilateral-trade-and-financing-for-mexican-manufacturers</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/india-mexico-trade-corridor-credlix-launches-india-sourcing-to-strengthen-bilateral-trade-and-financing-for-mexican-manufacturers</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Credlix, a global fintech platform for cross-border supply chain financing, has announced the launch of its India-Mexico Connect service. This new offering enables Mexican buyers to source industrial products directly from Indian manufacturers via the deep B2B network of Moglix-Credlix&#039;s parent company-while accessing seamless, collateral-free trade financing.
	 


	This marks the first time an Indian B2B startup is introducing such a service in Mexico, strengthening collaboration between Mexican importers and Indian exporters, and accelerating supply chain diversification for Mexican businesses.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Credlix announces the launch of its India-Mexico Connect service at the IndMex Chamber
	 


	The service was formally introduced at the IndMex Chamber event hosted by the Embassy of India in Mexico on Thursday, June 19, in the presence of H.E. Pankaj Sharma, Ambassador of India to Mexico. Organized by the Trade and Commerce Council of India and Mexico (IndMex), the event convened key stakeholders from business, trade, and diplomacy to foster stronger bilateral ties.
	 


	&quot;With the launch of India Sourcing for Mexico, we are enabling a new chapter in India-LATAM trade,&quot; said Rahul Garg, Founder &amp; CEO of Moglix and Credlix. &quot;As Mexico grows as a nearshoring hub and India expands its manufacturing base, this initiative bridges both supply and capital gaps, creating stronger global value chains.&quot;
	 


	Ambassador Dr. Pankaj Sharma, along with Daniel Becker Feldman, CEO of Banca Mifel, emphasized the shift from diplomatic goodwill to concrete business outcomes. Dr. Sharma reiterated the growing momentum in bilateral cooperation and stressed the importance of enabling tangible economic engagement.
	 


	Becker Feldman highlighted Mexico&#039;s untapped potential in digital finance, noting that &quot;over half of Mexican transactions remain cash-based,&quot; and praised India&#039;s digital payments infrastructure as a model Banca Mifel already leverages.
	 


	Through India-Mexico Connect, Mexican buyers can access a wide range of industrial products-including automotive components, engineering goods, chemicals, bulk packaging, textiles, and electronics-from over 20,000 Indian suppliers in the Moglix network. Backed by Credlix&#039;s invoice-based export financing, these imports are eligible for up to 90% working capital at the time of shipment, all without collateral.
	 


	The platform addresses long-standing challenges such as payment security, sourcing complexity, and limited access to trade finance. By integrating procurement and financing into a digital-first platform, it delivers a frictionless cross-border trade experience.
	 


	Aligned with global trends such as China+1 diversification, nearshoring, and Indo-Pacific economic cooperation, this initiative aims to rapidly grow the relatively smaller USD 11 billion trade between India and Mexico, which stands in sharp contrast to Mexico&#039;s USD 120 billion trade with China. India-Mexico Connect positions India as a reliable sourcing partner and Credlix as the financial backbone of this evolving trade corridor.
	 


	Credlix
	Credlix is a global supply chain financing platform that enables SMEs to access fast, collateral-free working capital. With operations across India, the United States, Mexico, and the UAE, Credlix helps businesses scale sustainably and thrive in global markets. ]]></description>

	What is a SIP in mutual funds
	A SIP is a method of investing in a mutual fund scheme where you invest a fixed amount at regular intervals, usually monthly or quarterly. It brings discipline to investing and eliminates the need to time the market. Instead of investing a lump sum, SIPs allow you to build your investment gradually over time.
	 


	When you invest via SIP in a mutual fund, you buy units of the scheme on a specific date each month, regardless of market conditions. Over time, this results in rupee cost averaging, meaning you buy more units when prices are low and fewer when prices are high. This helps in averaging out your purchase cost and potentially reducing the impact of market volatility.


	
	How SIPs contribute to long-term wealth creation
	The power of compounding is one of the key benefits of SIPs. Compounding refers to the growth of your investments as returns begin to generate further returns over time. The earlier you start, the more time your money has to grow.


	
	*For example, an investment of Rs 5,000 per month in a mutual fund SIP plan over 20 years, assuming an average annual return of 12%, can grow to over Rs 50 lakh. By investing regularly and staying invested for the long term, SIPs allow you to accumulate wealth in a structured and disciplined manner.


	
	*For illustrative purposes


	
	SIPs align with your financial goals
	SIPs can be tailored to meet a variety of financial goals, from saving for a child&#039;s education, buying a home, to building a retirement corpus. You can choose mutual funds that align with your risk appetite and investment horizon.


	
	For short to medium-term goals, you may consider investing in debt or hybrid mutual funds. For long-term goals, equity mutual funds can offer higher growth potential. SIPs help in mapping your financial goals to suitable investment options and allow you to track your progress over time.


	
	SIPs offer flexibility and convenience
	One of the biggest advantages of SIPs is the flexibility they offer. You can start with as little as Rs 500 per month generally, making them accessible to a wide range of investors. You can increase your SIP amount over time, pause or stop the SIP if needed, or switch between schemes based on your changing financial needs.


	
	SIPs are also convenient to set up and manage, most mutual fund houses and platforms allow online registration, tracking, and modification. With auto-debit options, the investment process becomes hassle-free and consistent.


	
	SIPs reduce emotional decision-making
	Investing through SIPs can help reduce emotional reactions to market fluctuations. During periods of market volatility, investors may be tempted to redeem their investments out of fear. SIPs promote disciplined investing by encouraging you to stay invested regardless of short-term market movements.


	
	Over the long term, this discipline can lead to better outcomes than trying to time the market, which is often difficult and counterproductive.


	
	Staying committed to your SIP strategy
	While SIPs are a useful tool, their success depends on your commitment and consistency. Here are a few tips to stay on track:


	 


	
		
			Link your SIPs to specific financial goals
	
	
		
			Review your mutual fund portfolio periodically
	
	
		
			Step up your SIP amount as your income grows
	
	
		
			Avoid discontinuing your SIP during market downturns
	



	
	SIPs work when you stay invested through market cycles. Over time, this approach can help you navigate volatility and build wealth gradually.


	
	Conclusion
	Achieving financial freedom is not about chasing the highest returns or making one-time big investment. It&#039;s about making informed, consistent choices that compound over time. A mutual fund SIP plan offers a simple, disciplined, and flexible way to invest towards your financial goals.


	
	By staying invested, choosing funds aligned with your risk profile, and increasing your contributions as your income grows, SIPs can play a key role in helping you achieve financial independence.


	
	Mutual Fund investments are subject to market risks, read all scheme related documents carefully. ]]></description>

<title>Need Quick Loan Approvals Clean up Credit Reports With OneScore</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/need-quick-loan-approvals-clean-up-credit-reports-with-onescore</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/need-quick-loan-approvals-clean-up-credit-reports-with-onescore</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ In todays fast-paced world, the need for quick financial solutions is not out of the ordinary. When consumers look to instant loan apps to secure funds for urgent needs, one crucial factor that often determines the speed and ease of approval is their credit scores.


	 


	A clean and accurate credit history signals responsible use of credit in the past and present, significantly increasing the chances of a swift approval. OneScore emerges as a valuable tool in this context, offering a user-friendly platform for consumers to monitor, understand, and ultimately clean up their credit reports - paving the way for faster access to needed funds.


	 


	Why a Clean Credit Report Matters for Loan Approvals


	One&#039;s credit report is a synopsis of past history and behaviour with credit. It includes data on all the borrowers past credit card and loan details. Thus, a clean report signifies timely repayment of loans and credit card bills as well as sufficient experience with managing debt. This leads to a high credit score of 730 and more.


	 


	With a high score, one is considered to be a worthy and reliable candidate for a new loan. This allows lenders to process loan applications quickly and offer better terms.


	 


	In contrast, a credit report with defaults, unpaid dues, missed EMIs, and a shorter history with credit signifies a lack of experience and responsibility. This leads to a lower score and thus delays approval or leads to outright rejection of one&#039;s loan application.


	 


	OneScore&#039;s Role in Boosting Credit Health


	Building and managing a clean credit report can be a challenge. Users must monitor their credit accounts periodically and take proactive actions to improve their credit health with the right steps and actions. To begin with, OneScore allows users to download their credit reports from  TransUnion CIBIL and Experian unlimited times.


	 


	With lifetime-free Experian and CIBIL score checks, users can stay informed about:


	
		
			Any fraudulent loan or credit card accounts in their name
	
	
		
			Any discrepancies related to personal/professional information mentioned in their credit reports
	
	
		
			Any incorrect information (such as a closed loan account showing as open)
	



	 


	If there are any such errors, users can raise a dispute on the OneScore App itself. This feature is the most useful when time is of the essence. For instance, if users notice any unauthorised loan account in their name, waiting can jeopardise their credit health further. One needs to report it to the credit bureau as soon as possible. With OneScore, this becomes easy, and they can report such errors in a few simple taps.


	 


	In addition, users can benefit from customised tips on how to increase their credit scores. For instance, if they are missing EMIs for their car loan, the app will ask them to set reminders so they can pay on time. If they are overutilising their credit card&#039;s limit, the app will ask them not to spend beyond a specific figure. Such insights can help them improve their score.


	 


	Another outstanding feature of the OneScore App is the &#039;Score Planner&#039;. Users can set a particular credit score goal with a timeframe in which to reach it. For example, say one wants to apply for a personal loan where the minimum eligibility criteria is 750 within 6 months. With the help of Score Planner, users can get actionable and personalised steps to build their credit score to 750 within this time and then apply confidently. This is helpful because it allows users to get quick approval as well as a good offer.


	 


	How to Get Quick Loan Approval with OneScore


	If one is looking for a personal loan with quick approval, then OneScore also offers such unsecured loans of up to ₹5 Lakhs. One can compare offers from reputed lenders such as South Indian Bank, Kisetsu Saison Finance India, and Federal Bank on this instant loan app and apply online in a jiffy.


	 


	To apply for this instant loan, users can start by running an Experian and CIBIL score check. If the score is over 730, they are eligible to proceed. After selecting their desired loan amount, providing their income details, and specifying their employment type, they will get their loan offers. Following a simple and 100% digital application process, users can enjoy swift approval.


	 


	Running Experian and CIBIL score checks before the loan application process ensures that users aren&#039;t applying blind. Instead, they are informed about their eligibility and can make smarter borrowing choices. Keeping users&#039; credit scores at the centre of the process helps OneScore offer a secure and hassle-free borrowing experience to all. Download the app from the Play Store or App Store to make applying for a loan easier and faster. ]]></description>

<title>Mastering Your Credit Profile: Simple Steps For a Spotless Report With OneScore</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/mastering-your-credit-profile-simple-steps-for-a-spotless-report-with-onescore</link>

<description><![CDATA[ Quick offers on personal loan apps offer instant funds to borrowers for a range of needs, be it to finance a wedding or urgent repairs. The journey to securing favourable interest rates and comfortable loan terms often begins with a close look at the credit report. Errors and inaccuracies can negatively impact a borrowers credit score, hindering their ability to access the financial products they need.


	 


	OneScore provides a convenient way for users to monitor and understand their credit health, empowering everyone to identify and address discrepancies. By taking proactive steps to clean up their credit report with OneScore, consumers can significantly improve their creditworthiness and unlock a wider range of attractive loan options.


	 


	Importance of a Clean Credit Report 


	A credit report is a reflection of the individual&#039;s creditworthiness, giving lenders an overview of their credit profile. It includes their credit history, which shows the financial institutions how many credit cards are in their name and how many loans they have borrowed in total. This information is important to show the lender their past experience in handling different kinds of credit.


	 


	For example, if an individual has borrowed personal loans in the past, it shows their ability to manage unsecured loans. Similarly, if they have credit cards in their name, then it means that they may have experience paying the bills on time. This is all true if they have a good credit history.


	 


	In case there are any instances of users missing out on the credit card bill payments or EMIs, then that is also included in their credit report. This negatively reflects on their credibility as a borrower. Lenders take this into account to decide if they are a reliable borrower. This not only impacts chances of approval but also the loan amount and tenure offered.


	 


	While frequent defaults leave a negative impression, financial institutions may ignore a few defaults. With every delinquency, consumers&#039; chances of getting a good personal loan offer, be it from a bank or a loan app, go down. This makes it paramount that one has a clean credit history before applying for a personal loan or any type of credit.


	 


	How OneScore&#039;s Insights Help


	The common problem with most borrowers is that they are not aware of how they can improve their credit report for a better loan offer. To begin with, they need to review their credit report and understand the factors that are damaging their credit history. This is where the OneScore App can help.


	 


	With the help of the insights from the app, one can get a complete and clear picture of their credit accounts and the reasons their score is low. In a few instances, the bad credit score is due to delays in reporting EMIs or closed loan accounts by financial institutions. Other reasons could be a mismatch in the information. This can be a wrong name or incomplete information.


	 


	OneScore makes it easy for users to identify such errors by offering lifetime-free access to not only their credit scores from TransUnion CIBIL and Experian, but also their credit reports. In addition, the app offers personalised insights, offering suggestions on how to improve their score.


	 


	Often, fraudsters misuse personal information to get a loan in someones name. Being unaware of the ongoing loan app scams, the individuals credit account shows unpaid dues and defaults. This has a major negative impact on the credit profile and future borrowing capacity. However, by reporting such unauthorised loans, one can do damage control.


	 


	OneScore allows users to raise disputes right on the app. This saves time and allows one to take prompt action to avoid any further damage to the credit score.


	 


	Steps to Leveraging OneScore For Better Credit Monitoring


	Here are step-by-step instructions on how one can understand and fix their credit report with the OneScore App.


	 


	Step 1: Log in to the App


	One may download the app from the Play Store or the App Store on one&#039;s mobile phone. Using PAN card details and other basic information, one can log into the app.


	 


	Step 2: Checking Credit Score


	The next step is to see the CIBIL and Experian scores on the dashboard. On the same dashboard, one gets the option to download their free credit report. One can generate a report as often as one pleases - without any membership fee.


	 


	Step 3: Setting a Goal And Taking Action


	The Score Planner feature on the OneScore App allows users to set and achieve their desired credit score with personalised tips. This helps users build an excellent score over time and with the right credit habits to become eligible for better offers.


	 


	Once the borrowers score is above 730, they become eligible for a loan offer on the OneScore App itself. OneScore doubles up as a personal loan app, offering users to easily apply for a loan up to Rs. 5 Lakhs with an affordable interest rate starting at 12.5% p.a.


	 


	Along with a comfortable tenure range between 6 to 48 months, one can choose the repayment amount within their budget. All one needs is a good credit score and a few documents in digital format. One can easily check their offer from reputed partner lenders with just taps and apply with a 100% paperless application process.


	 


	After instant disbursal, borrowers set reminders for loan repayment on the OneScore App too, and check the improvement in their credit score periodically for a lifetime of good credit health. All they need to do is download the OneScore app on their phone and check their score to get started. ]]></description>

<title>Skipping Third&#45;Party Bike Insurance Here&amp;apos;s What It Could Cost You</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/skipping-third-party-bike-insurance-costs-risks-india</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/skipping-third-party-bike-insurance-costs-risks-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Owning a motorcycle comes with responsibilities, and having third-party bike insurance is among them. Indian law requires two-wheeler third-party insurance to protect against damages to others in an accident. Riding without it could lead to legal penalties, financial burdens, or even suspension of your license.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Benefits of Third-Party Bike Insurance


	
	The two-wheeler third-party insurance gives peace of mind and ensures law compliance. With online third-party insurance for two-wheeler riders, securing the coverage takes more or less a few minutes. Knowing the consequences of riding without these two-wheeler third-party insurance policies will enable you to make a well-informed decision.


	
	Consequences of Not Having Third-Party Bike Insurance
	Biking without third-party bike insurance can cause severe legal and financial implications. Here is what you risk by not having third-party insurance for bike owners:


	
	Legal Penalties for Uninsured Riding
	Indian law requires all two-wheeler riders to insure themselves against third-party liability. Riding without one can attract fines, prison sentences, and license suspensions. The Motor Vehicles Act of 1988 prescribes a fine of ₹2,000 for first-time offenders and ₹4,000 for repeated offenders.


	
	In some extreme cases, authorities can suspend your driving license or seize your vehicle. Avoid these unwanted run-ins with the law by getting third-party two-wheeler insurance to comply with legal requirements.


	
	Financial Burden in Case of Accidents
	Accidents can be costly, especially regarding efficacious compensation, such as when others stand injured, or property damage occurs. In the absence of third-party motorcycle insurance, you will have to pay the medical fees as well as repair costs.


	
	Depending on the severity of the accident, expenses can quickly escalate, causing financial distress. Third-party insurance two-wheeler policies ensure that these liabilities do not fall on you. Taking out proper coverage will prevent financial strain.


	
	Legal Complications in Accidents
	If youre an uninsured rider involved in an accident, court cases can be filed against you by a third party seeking compensation. You could be stuck in lengthy court battles without valid third-party bike insurance. This creates substantial financial strain and leaves you with a legal standpoint.


	
	The court could rule that the victim should be compensated, leaving you liable for a hefty payment. Compliance with the demands of third-party insurance legally requires one to avoid such unfortunate events.


	
	Loss of No Claim Bonus (NCB) Benefits
	Failing to renew your two-wheeler third-party insurance policy on time means you will lose out on any accrued NCB benefits. NCB discounts insurance premiums for every claim-free year so that you can save on the premiums. Having the NCB benefit cancelled poses a problem for other policies because the premium will shoot up for future policies.


	
	By renewing your two-wheeler third-party insurance on time online, you can be assured of continuous coverage while saving big time. Staying insured also prevents one from experiencing any kind of financial loss.


	
	How Does Third-Party Insurance Protect You
	Third-party bike insurance is recommended for every two-wheeler owner in India. It is, therefore, a legal requirement to secure against financial liabilities and damages caused by one another. Heres how a bike insurance policy safeguards you:


	
	Legal Compliance
	According to the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, bike owners must have third-party insurance. Failure to do so may result in severe fines, imprisonment, or even suspension of the riders license. Having a valid policy allows the rider to adhere to regulations and avoid any unnecessary legal troubles in the event of routine checks.


	
	Coverage for Third-Party Injuries or Death
	In some cases, accidents can lead to injuries or deaths of pedestrians or other motorists. In such cases, third-party insurance two-wheeler policies cover the medical expenses of the affected party while providing compensation. This ensures that one does not have to pay an enormous amount from his pocket. 


	
	Financial Security Against Lawsuits
	If the accident victims demand compensation from uninsured riders, things can get nasty as it would result in a legal process. This is where third-party bike insurance comes in handy, as it takes care of legal expenses and settlements and also protects the insured from unforeseen financial stress.


	
	Riding with Peace of Mind
	Riding knowing that the insurance can compensate any third-party liability that occurs provides peace of mind for most riders. Accidents can happen at any time, but the availability of some financial protection ensures that you are prepared. With third-party insurance, you can escape the worries of financial uncertainties.


	
	Affordable and Easily Accessible Coverage
	Third-party insurance is cheaper than comprehensive insurance. It provides essential protection at a reasonable premium, which makes it a good option. You can buy third-party insurance online, and the digital process of issuing and renewing any policy is much easier.


	
	Insurance coverage on third-party two-wheelers protects against mishaps and protects you from financial misconduct. Third-party insurance for two-wheeler owners is a legal requirement and a smart investment. Online purchase for third-party insurance for two-wheeler owners provides an array of benefits. ]]></description>

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/key-things-to-know-before-applying-for-a-gold-loan-in-india-with-bajaj-finance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ Applying for a gold loan in India has become one of the fastest and most convenient ways to access funds. Many people turn to gold loans for quick financial support without having to sell their precious gold jewellery. Bajaj Finance offers a reliable and secure option through its trusted service - Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan. The process is simple, documents are minimal, and the interest rates are competitive.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan
	 


	Before applying, it is important to understand how gold loans work, what documents are required for gold loan, and how Bajaj Finance makes the process quick and transparent for customers.
	 


	Understanding how gold loans work


	A gold loan in India is a type of secured loan where gold jewellery is pledged as collateral. Bajaj Finance offers a loan amount, starting from Rs.5,000 to Rs.2 crore, based on the purity and weight of the gold pledged. The purity of the gold, the set LTV ratio and the prevailing gold price determines how much one can borrow.
	 


	Once the gold is deposited at the branch and its purity is tested, the gold loan in India is approved quickly, and funds are disbursed often on the same day, directly to the borrower&#039;s bank account. The gold remains safe with a complementary insurance of gold that keeps the jewellery covered against theft and misplacement. Bajaj Finance stores it in a secure vault until the loan is fully repaid.
	 


	Who can apply for a gold loan


	Applying for a gold loan in India with Bajaj Finance is easy and inclusive. Here are the eligibility conditions


	
		
			The applicant should be an Indian citizen
	
	
		
			The age of the applicant should be between 21 and 70 years
	
	
		
			The applicant must have 18-22 karat gold jewellery to pledge
			 
	



	There is no requirement for income proof, making it accessible for homemakers, farmers, and self-employed individuals as well.
	 


	Documents required for gold loan


	Bajaj Finance has kept the paperwork simple. Borrowers just need any one of the following KYC documents


	
		
			Aadhaar card
	
	
		
			Voter ID
	
	
		
			Passport
	
	
		
			Driving licence
	
	
		
			NREGA job card
	
	
		
			Letter from the National Population Registration
			 
	



	There is no need for salary slips, income tax returns, or property papers. This ease of paperwork helps customers complete the process faster. Though it is important to note that for loans over Rs.5 lakh, submission of PAN Card details may be required.
	 


	Know the interest and repayment options


	The interest rate plays a major role in any loan. Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan offers competitive interest rates, depending on the loan amount and repayment plan chosen by the customer.
	 


	Bajaj Finance offers multiple repayment options, including


	
		
			Borrowers can choose to pay interest monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually.
	
	
		
			They can select a payment schedule that suits their convenience.
	
	
		
			The principal loan amount is payable at the end of the loan tenure.
	
	
		
			Any remaining interest, if not paid earlier, will also be due at the time of loan maturity.
			 
	



	The loan tenure can range from 1 day to 12 months, giving customers the freedom to choose what works best for them.
	 


	Conclusion


	A gold loan in India is a practical way to raise quick funds without selling precious assets. With minimal paperwork, quick approval, and convenient repayment options, Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan offers a seamless experience for customers from all walks of life.
	 


	By understanding the documents required for gold loan and how the process works, one can apply with full confidence. Bajaj Finance continues to make gold loans accessible, safe, and quick for everyone across India.

<title>Cut In Repo Rate: Know Why Booking FD On Wizely App Now Can Be Smart</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/cut-in-repo-rate-know-why-booking-fd-on-wizely-app-now-can-be-smart</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/cut-in-repo-rate-know-why-booking-fd-on-wizely-app-now-can-be-smart</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ To manage inflation and maintain economic stability, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) updates the repo rate periodically. This shift in monetary policy has significant implications for various financial instruments, particularly Fixed Deposits (FDs). For potential investors looking to secure their returns, this has a direct effect on long-term returns.


	 


	Taking conducive macroeconomic growth into account, the RBI has lowered the repo rate by 50 basis points in frontloading. Many banks are still providing FDs at the previous rate. Hence, now is the right time to book your FD so that you can still enjoy higher returns. Understanding why booking Fixed Deposit on the Wizely App now could be a particularly smart decision.


	 


	Understanding the Repo Rate and Its Impact


	The repo rate is the interest rate at which the RBI lends money to commercial banks. It is a crucial tool used by the central bank to control liquidity in the banking system, manage inflation, and stimulate economic growth.


	 


	RBI has made two cuts this year, reducing the repo rate by 25 basis points each time. Before the February 2025 Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, the repo rate stood at 6.5%. With two subsequent rate cuts, the repo rate before this month&#039;s MPC meeting was 6%. With this reduction of 50 basis points, the repo rate now stands at 5.50%.


	 


	However, analysts at Goldman Sachs also anticipate that the repo rate will fall to 5.5% by the end of this year, within in the current rate cycle. Consequently, any change in the repo rate directly affects the investment made in FD.


	 


	Impact on Fixed Deposit Rates


	The correlation between the repo rate and FD rates is direct. With lower repo rates, banks can borrow funds more cheaply from the RBI. Consequently, banks tend to lower their lending rates for various loans (home loans, auto loans, etc.) to encourage borrowing and stimulate economic activity.


	 


	While this is good news for borrowers, it also means that banks are no longer dependent on investors for funds. Therefore, banks typically reduce the interest rates they offer on fixed deposits. This comes as bad news for anyone planning to book an FD.


	 


	Window of Opportunity: Why Act Now


	Banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) tend to adjust their FD rates downwards after the repo rate cut. However, banks will still be offering relatively higher FD rates compared to what they may offer in the near future. By booking an FD now, investors can lock in these potentially higher rates before they decline further.


	 


	Why Choose the Wizely App for Fixed Deposits

	Why a Strong CIBIL Score Matters to Lenders

			Always pay loan EMIs and credit card bills on or before the due date
	
	
		
			Avoid applying for multiple loans or credit cards within a short time
	
	
		
			Maintain a mix of secured and unsecured credit to show balanced usage
	
	
		
			Check the credit report often to spot and correct any errors
	
	
		
			Keep credit use low and avoid using the entire limit available
	



	 


	Along with free CIBIL score checks, Bajaj Markets offers a wide range of financial products and services. These include personal loans, credit cards, insurance plans, investment tools, and savings options-all available through a trusted and easy-to-use platform.

	After a super successful multi-city India Tour, DJ Snake&#039;s The irresistibly funky &#039;West Side Story&#039; - already proving to be festival gold and the star of a McDonalds France campaign - combines a propulsive groove, deep, syrupy bass and neon-glowing synth keys with wailing chords, sweet vocoder harmonies and a feel good message. A behemoth slice of retro-modern funk for letting loose, showcasing DJ Snake&#039;s ever-expanding sonic palette.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	West Side Story


	 


	As addictive and memorable as the song itself, the official &#039;West Side Story&#039; video is slick, youthful and fun. From the hands of WE ARE FROM LA, the ground-breaking team who scooped a Grammy for Pharell&#039;s 24 hr &#039;Happy&#039; video, the visual is a brilliantly realized interpretation of the uniting power of DJ Snake&#039;s music via the medium of dance as characters&#039; blend and interchange to the rhythm. A stylish and clever homage to fluidity both in race and gender, the clip is one to watch on repeat.


	 


	DJ Snake says, &quot;I want my music to connect people from all over the world. To unite very different human beings through it. That&#039;s exactly what I wanted to showcase in the music video. My music is about blending genres, blending cultures, so the idea we came up with for the music video with WE ARE FROM LA was to blend people somehow!&quot;


	 


	&#039;Westside Story&#039; arrives just after the anniversary of Snake&#039;s historic performance at Paris Saint Germain&#039;s Parc des Prince, where he played in front of 63,000 fans - marking the biggest headlining show of his career. It also adds to an already massive year. So far in 2023, Snake has performed at Super Bowl LVII and has been RIAA-certified 8x Platinum with &quot;Turn Down For What&quot;. But he&#039;s not done just yet. He&#039;s just kicked off an international summer tour with scheduled dates at Las Vegas&#039; Zouk, Ultra Europe in Croatia, Brooklyn Mirage, UK&#039;s Creamfields, and more.

<title>Slow Rivers &#45; Savitha Sastry&amp;apos;s New Magnum Opus</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/slow-rivers-savitha-sastrys-new-magnum-opus</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/slow-rivers-savitha-sastrys-new-magnum-opus</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Danseuse Savitha Sastry and Writer and Director AK Srikanth release their tenth production Slow Rivers. Taking a sharp detour from the recent light hearted comedies Arangetram and Filter Coffee from the production house, this film is a mind-bending spiral that examines the complex relationship between an Artiste and her Guru.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Ashish Vidyarthi and Savitha Sastry in Slow Rivers


	 


	In its intense denouement, it brings back memories of earlier productions such as Dvija and Saffron, which Savitha and Srikanth had released to critical acclaim last year. Ashish Vidyarthi and the protagonist Savitha Sastry star together for the first time, in roles that crackle with power every time the two appear on screen together. The confrontation between the two goes far beyond just their roles, into philosophies of the relationship between an Art and the Artiste. Ashish&#039;s complex character brings back memories of his award-winning performance in the classic Droh-Kaal, while Savitha takes on a layered role that the audience has not seen her essay before.


	 


	Talking about the dance production, Savitha Sastry said, &quot;Slow Rivers would definitely rank amongst the most challenging projects I have worked on - whether it be sharing the screen with thespian Ashish Vidyarthi, or in the very intricate dance sequences that I choreographed and filmed. I play the role of a dancer named Sravaka (which means student, in Sanskrit), and it is a character with many shades of gray. An amazing experience, indeed!&quot;


	 


	As per Mr. AK Srikanth, &quot;Slow Rivers is a mindbender that takes the viewers through the worlds of the real, the metaphysical and the delusional. While on the surface it is about a Guru and a Sishya, I think at its heart it is about that never ending quest for immortality. I think it is a very important film in my journey as a Director, and a very important one for our production company as well, in terms of the very scope of what it attempts to portray.&quot;


	 


	According to Mr. Ashish Vidyarthi, &quot;Savitha and Srikanth are a couple who makes films to ensure that dance is popularized among masses. They are a set who want to propagate culture, making ensure that it is simplified so that it reaches many people other than the very few who manage to attend performances. It was an absolute joy participating in Slow Rivers. Best wishes to Savitha and Srikanth as they journey on and telling stories after stories.&quot;


	 


	Alongside Savitha Sastry and Ashish Vidyarthi, Sasho (Manjunath / B A Pass 2) also stars in an important role. Noted composer Abhay Nayampally scores the music for this short, in his sixth collaboration with Savitha and Srikanth. The company that has made acclaimed award-winning films such as Descent, Beyond the Rains, Dvija and TheColors Trilogy. Savitha Sastry and thespian Ashish Vidyarthi play the lead in the film.


	 


	The film is scheduled to release on OTT on July 8, 2023.

The app hosts more than 1,00,000+ live streams every month with a daily engagement time of over 35 mins per user.

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/visual-birds-studio-launches-the-vfx-institute-to-revolutionize-the-vfx-industry</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	The VFX Institute launched by Visual Bird Studio aims to provide aspiring artists and students with the most up-to-date skill sets necessary to succeed in the VFX business at reasonable costs. The institute was inaugurated by renowned producer and director Luv Ranjan in Goregaon West, Mumbai. The VFX institute plans to expand the reach of the institute to cities like Pune, Nagpur, Amravati and Hyderabad, to offer a gamut of courses at affordable fees.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Luv Ranjan Inaugurates The VFX Institute


	 


	Filmmakers now have a wealth of fresh creative choices because of the revolutionary impact that visual effects have had on Indian filmmaking. Our understanding of storytelling is changing as a result of the employment of visual effects in films like Baahubali: The Beginning, RRR, Brahmastra: Part One: Shiva, and Avatar.


	
	Commenting at the launch of the institute, Producer and Director Luv Ranjan said, &quot;In my opinion, The VFX is no longer a luxury for a director; it has become an integral part of the whole storytelling process. Nowadays, the VFX is an important tool that gives us the freedom to imagine and create. I think India is an important market in the VFX industry and plays an integral part in the supply chain. It is my belief that soon it will shift from being just a player to the leader and become the epicentre of VFX in the world, immensely benefiting the young generation that wants to enter this ever-evolving world.&quot;


	 


	The VFX Institute is backed by the Visual Birds Studio, a fast-growing studio working on multiple big projects and creating cutting-edge visual effects for enhanced storytelling experiences. While speaking at the launch, Amit Malviya, Creative Director, Visual Birds Studio, said, &quot;In the last few years we have been facing a constant crunch of talented professionals, and we wanted to fill this gap. Therefore, we decided to put our support behind this great idea where the professionals are trained as per the requirements of the industry and are job-ready within a few months.&quot;


	 


	The VFX Institute has developed a strategy to rethink visual effects training to fit the contemporary needs of Indian cinema in order to close the gap between industry requirements and educational offers. In contrast to other programs, The VFX Institute offers students and industry professionals a thorough curriculum that raises the bar for visual effects education. An artist can become marketable, have a job lined up, and put what theyve learned into practice, all at a fair price, in as little as 6 to 8 months.


	
	Students who learn by practice are more likely to acquire both technical know-how and an artistic sensibility, enabling them to produce visually striking results and bring their innovative concepts to life. The VFX Institute offers lifetime career support and a 100% job guarantee.


	 


	The VFX Institute strives to address the industrys increasing need for qualified VFX artists by offering top-notch instruction, exposure to the business, and hands-on training, enabling students to make important contributions to the Indian film and media industries.


	
	According to the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Confederation of Indian Industries (CII), India is predicted to control 20-25% of the worldwide AVGC (Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics) sector.


	
	By 2025, this burgeoning industry is expected to provide 75,000 to 125,000 jobs, contributing significantly to Indias media and entertainment (M&amp;E) industrys projected 2030 growth to a USD 100 billion (8.2 lakh crore) market. Indian cinema has the ability to create films on par with Hollywood with the appropriate talent. To address the rising demand for VFX, educating and developing a talented pool of artists who can contribute to this sector is crucial.


	 


	About The VFX Institute
	Education at The VFX Institute isn&#039;t confined to theory. It&#039;s a hands-on journey into the industry&#039;s heart, enabling you to wield powerful tools like Nuke, Silhouette, Mocha, and beyond.

<title>Exploring Tax Benefits of Mutual Funds for Young Salary Earners</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/exploring-tax-benefits-of-mutual-funds-for-young-salary-earners</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/exploring-tax-benefits-of-mutual-funds-for-young-salary-earners</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 	Over the past few years, India&#039;s youth have increasingly adopted mutual funds as their preferred mode of investment. As per a report by CAMS, one of the country&#039;s largest registrar and transfer agencies, millennials comprised of around 54% of the 1.6 crore new mutual fund investors added from 2019 to 2023.


	 


	The multiple benefits of mutual fund investments include its ease of investing, professional fund management portfolio diversification, and tax benefits. In the following sections, investors will learn how to make profits from mutual funds while saving taxes. 


	 


	Mutual fund tax benefits under Section 80C 


	Equity-linked saving schemes (ELSS) are a popular equity fund that offers tax saving benefits to investors under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act (ITA), 1961. People who invest in ELSS can seek tax deductions of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh. This is the reason why ELSS is also referred to as a tax-saving mutual fund&#039;.


	 


	The emerging force of the country&#039;s young salary earners is expected to grow further, and women will increasingly adopt mutual fund investments. Women comprised almost 26% of the 1.6 crore new investors according to the CAMS report.


	 


	Conducive market conditions, awareness campaigns, digital access, and simplified KYC are some of the factors that have driven many young people to invest in mutual funds. It is expected to increase further once more people become aware of the benefits of tax-saving mutual funds. 


	 


	You can find multiple ELSS mutual funds by top Asset Management Companies on the Bajaj Finance platform. You can filter these funds based on your risk appetite, returns, ratings, and benchmark index.  


	 


	How does a tax-saving mutual fund work 


	These schemes accumulate money from various investors and invest in the equity market. The most important feature of ELSS is that these funds have a lock-in period of 3 years. Please note that when investors choose to invest in these savings via a systematic investment plan (SIP), the lock-in period of each instalment is 3 years. 


	 


	It would be easier to understand with an example. Suppose Ira contributed the first SIP instalment on 1 May 2023 and the second instalments on 1 June 2023. So, the first SIP instalments will remain locked in up to 1 May 2026 and the second instalments will remain locked in up to 1 June 2026. 


	 


	Investors can redeem units of ELSS at the end of their lock-in periods at the prevalent Net Asset Value (NAV). 


	 


	Taxation of equity mutual funds 


	Equity mutual funds are schemes that invest at least 65% of their corpus in equities or equity-linked investment instruments. Investors can realise either short-term capital gains (STCG) or long-term capital gains (LTCG) depending on the holding period of their equity investments. 


	 


	STCG is realised if an investor redeems their investment within 1 year of investment and it is taxed at a flat 15% irrespective of ones income tax slab.


	 


	LTCGs will be realised if an investor redeems their investment after holding the mutual fund units for more than 1 year. Equity fund investors will receive a certain tax benefit for LTCG, i.e., capital gains up to Rs. 1 lakh in a financial year will be tax-exempt.


	 


	Once capital gains exceed this threshold limit, investors have to pay a 10% tax on the excess amount and will not receive any indexation benefits.


	 


	Taxation of debt funds 


	Debt mutual funds are schemes that invest in fixed-income instruments. Instruments such as government securities, corporate bonds, money market instruments, and corporate debt securities that generate capital appreciation.


	 


	According to Union Budget 2023, LTCG taxation on debt funds will not be applicable after 1st April 2023. Now, both short-term and long-term investments in these schemes will be taxed as per the investor&#039;s income tax slab rates.


	 


	Many people believe that debt mutual fund taxation has become similar to the taxation of fixed deposits at banks. But, there is a difference that makes debt funds a more attractive investment option than FDs. 


	 


	Bank FD interest taxation depends on the method of accounting followed by a taxpayer. But, usually, banks deduct tax at source from interest payouts of FD schemes annually. This is where the difference lies. Debt fund investors have to pay capital gains tax only when they redeem their units or transfer their investment.


	 


	In addition, investors can offset their short-term capital loss arising from debt funds while filing Income Tax Returns (ITR). It will reduce their taxable income falling under the head &#039;income from capital gains&#039;. 


	 


	Important things to remember 


	Here are some important things that investors should consider when trying to save taxes on mutual fund investments:

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The real estate sector in Delhi-NCR has witnessed a significant transformation in recent years. While the capital remains a hub of economic and cultural activity, the development of tier-2 cities around it has emerged as a game-changer, especially for the real estate sector. The establishment of the &quot;Golden Ring&quot;, a network of connectivity encircling Delhi-NCR, has led to the rapid growth of significant cities such as Bhiwadi, Bahadurgarh, Alwar, Sonipat, Jewar, Manesar, and Meerut. These cities offer tremendous investment potential, with promising growth prospects, excellent connectivity, and a plethora of amenities.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	The Golden Ring: Unlocking Tremendous Real Estate Potential in Delhi-NCRs Tier-2 Cities


	 


	Ashwani Kumar, Pyramid Infratech marked the potential for tremendous growth, stating, &quot;Tier-2 cities in the Golden Ring have become hotspots for real estate investment. The region offers ample opportunities for growth, driven by factors like infrastructure development and increasing urbanisation. Rewadi, Bhiwadi, for instance, has witnessed a surge in commercial and residential projects, making it an attractive destination for investors. The future prospects of these cities are highly promising, with substantial appreciation expected in property values.&quot;


	 


	&quot;The Golden Ring ensures seamless connectivity within and around Delhi-NCR, making it easier for people to commute and access various amenities. For example, Bahadurgarh benefits from the Delhi Metros extension, offering residents a convenient and faster mode of transportation. These tier-2 cities are also witnessing the development of modern infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, shopping complexes, and recreational facilities, thereby enhancing the overall livability quotient,&quot; said Ms. Radheecka Rakesh Garg, Director, Rajdarbar Realty​.


	 


	The exponential growth of commercial real estate in the National Capital Region (NCR) can be credited to the substantial progress in infrastructure development. The combination of favourable policies implemented by state governments, the expansion of the Metro network, the upcoming Jewar Airport, the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and the Dwarka Expressway, including the proposed Bodaki Railway station, have significantly boosted the realty prospects of the NCR. These factors have immensely contributed to making it a corporate, commercial and residential hub.


	 


	Mr. Rajjath Goel, Managing Director, MRG Group, highlighted the affordability factor, saying, &quot;Compared to the soaring property prices in Delhi and other major cities, the tier-2 cities within the Golden Ring offer relatively affordable options for real estate investment. This affordability factor attracts diverse buyers, including first-time homebuyers, young professionals, and investors. As the cities continue to evolve and prosper, there is tremendous potential for appreciation, making it a win-win situation for buyers and investors alike.&quot;


	 


	&quot;The tier-2 cities in the Golden Ring have seen a surge in investment activity, attracting domestic and international players. The governments focus on policies like PMAY, DDJAY and Housing for All have further stimulated growth in these areas. Moreover, initiatives like the Jewar International Airport project have significantly boosted investor confidence. These cities are poised to emerge as lucrative real estate markets with improved infrastructure and business-friendly policies,&quot; said Mr. Yash Miglani, MD, Migsun Group. 


	 


	The Golden Ring has emerged as a catalyst for developing tier-2 cities surrounding Delhi-NCR, transforming them into desirable destinations for real estate investment. Cities around the national capital offer tremendous growth potential thanks to industrialisation, infrastructure development, and increasing urbanisation. The seamless connectivity, availability of amenities, affordability, and favourable investment climate further contribute to the attractiveness of these cities. As the real estate markets in Delhi-NCR evolve, investing in the tier-2 cities of the Golden Ring can unlock significant returns and create a promising future for investors and residents alike.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Fixed deposits have long been preferred investment avenues in the country. Almost 90% of Indian families consider FDs to be a reliable investment tool. And with good reason, since these are fixed-income instruments where the rate of interest does not depend on ever-changing market movements. The FD rate is locked in from the moment you book an FD up to maturity. Hence you can know the exact amount of earnings at maturity. 


	 


	Usually, these instruments offer lower returns given the low-risk tendency of such instruments, however, Bajaj Finance, a leading financial institution, offers FDs at attractive interest rates maximising your returns while minimising investment risk. 


	 


	Here are a few strategies that you can keep in mind to maximise your FD returns while keeping risk at a minimum. 


	 


	
		
			Keep all eggs in different baskets
	



	Diversification of investments is often an overlooked yet extremely important step. Financial experts suggest keeping all eggs in different baskets as this helps in mitigating risks. Investing in different types of tools based on risk appetite can help in maximising profits when the market is performing well and hedging against losses when the market is bearish. Bajaj Finance FD is the perfect tool for diversifying your investments as you earn generous returns while keeping capital secure. 


	 


	
		
			Select longer tenures
	



	The interest accrued on your deposit is directly proportional to the tenure chosen. Hence, longer tenures assist in getting higher returns. Bajaj Finance offers flexible tenures between 12 and 60 months. Tenures 36 months and above have considerably higher returns up to 8.60% p.a. This is why choosing a longer tenure can help in maximising returns.


	 


	Bajaj Finance also offers a few special tenures that carry higher than usual FD rates. Here is a list of the special tenures with respective rates of returns: 


	 


	
		
			
				
					Investor profile
			
			
				
					Tenure (months)
			
			
				
					Applicable interest rate (% p.a.)
			
		
		
			
				
					Citizens aged below 60 years
			
			
				
					15
			
			
				
					7.45
			
		
		
			
				
					Citizens aged below 60 years
			
			
				
					18
			
			
				
					7.40
			
		
		
			
				
					Citizens aged below 60 years
			
			
				
					22
			
			
				
					7.50
			
		
		
			
				
					Citizens aged below 60 years
			
			
				
					30
			
			
				
					7.45
			
		
		
			
				
					Citizens aged below 60 years
			
			
				
					33
			
			
				
					7.75
			
		
		
			
				
					Citizens aged below 60 years
			
			
				
					44
			
			
				
					8.35
			
		
		
			
				
					Senior citizens
			
			
				
					15
			
			
				
					7.70
			
		
		
			
				
					Senior citizens
			
			
				
					18
			
			
				
					7.65
			
		
		
			
				
					Senior citizens
			
			
				
					22
			
			
				
					7.75
			
		
		
			
				
					Senior citizens
			
			
				
					30
			
			
				
					7.70
			
		
		
			
				
					Senior citizens
			
			
				
					33
			
			
				
					8.00
			
		
		
			
				
					Senior citizens
			
			
				
					44
			
			
				
					8.60
			
		
	



	 


	 As you can see, choosing these can help in getting a better yield as opposed to similar regular tenures. 


	 


	
		
			Choose the cumulative FD option
	



	Bajaj Finance offers investors both cumulative and non-cumulative FD options. If you choose cumulative FDs, the interest is compounded annually and reinvested. On the other hand with non-cumulative FDs, the interest is paid out periodically. If liquidity is not a concern and you wish to maximise your returns, then choosing a cumulative FD is a smart option. Thanks to the power of compounding, you can significantly enhance your returns over time. 


	 


	
		
			Ladder your deposits
	



	Laddering your deposits is a popular investment strategy where instead of putting all funds in one FD you divide your investments across several FDs of different tenures. This provides investors with liquidity as well as gives them the chance to take advantage of potentially higher interest rates, which may be announced in the future. You can easily stagger or ladder your FDs with Bajaj Finance and maximise your returns by using this simple laddering strategy.


	 


	These were a few ways of taking advantage of a higher FD rate regime. You can create generous wealth by making sure you choose all those options that lead to higher returns. Apart from this choosing a reliable financier helps in minimising risks. Always opt for FD issuers that have been accredited with good safety ratings. 


	 


	Bajaj Finance has been bestowed the highest safety ratings of AAA STABLE by ICRA and AAA STABLE by CRIS ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Necklaces to bangles, and bracelets to rings, Indians have a strong fondness for gold. In India, gold is much more than just a precious metal. Its high market value and universal acceptance present a reliable collateral option. By pledging gold as security, individuals can access funds quickly and easily, using the inherent value of their gold to secure a loan. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finance Gold Loan


	
	With Bajaj Finance, borrowers can get a Bajaj Finance Gold Loan starting from Rs. 5,000 up to Rs. 2 crore with interest rates starting as low as 9.50%* per annum. All they need is their basic KYC documents and their 18-22 karat gold jewellery to secure this loan. 


	
	These loans come with an easy application process, minimum paperwork and multiple repayment options. Borrowers can choose a repayment tenure that suits their financial situation the best. They can also use the Bajaj Finance Gold Loan Calculator to plan their financial journey better.

	Video Url: www.youtube.com/watchv=rMmKNPKG5ns


	 


	Here&#039;s a closer look at the features that make Bajaj Finance Gold Loan a wise financing option:

	Multiple repayment schedules 
	One can choose from several convenient repayment options - repay the entire interest amount at the beginning of the loan tenure and pay the remaining principal later. There are also monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly interest payment options to choose from. 


	 


	No part-prepayment or foreclosure fee
	Bajaj Finance also offers the option to pay back a part of the loan or the entire amount in advance at no extra cost. This reduces the overall loan servicing expenditure.


	 


	Free gold loan calculator 
	Bajaj Finance online gold loan EMI calculator helps consumers determine the loan amount depending on the weight and purity of their gold jewellery. Before applying for a loan, they can calculate the total interest that will be charged along with their repayment plan.


	 


	Transparent evaluation 
	Bajaj Finance uses top-of-the-line karat metres to ensure borrowers receive maximum value for their gold. The pledged gold jewellery is kept in secure vaults under 24x7 surveillance.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		Innov8, a leading co-working startup in India, has clocked average occupancy rate of 90% across all its centres in India, with cities such as Mumbai clocking 100% occupancy as of May 2023. This growth stands in stark contrast to early 2022 when return to office had just gathered momentum. In January 2022, Innov8 recorded an average occupancy of 65%. Innov8 currently has over 7000 seats across its co-working facilities in India.

	
		 

	
		
			
				
					
			
		
	

	
		Innov8 reception

	
		 

	
		As work from office returns even in startups, which form a significant part of Innov8&#039;s customer base, access and ease of public commute is emerging as a major draw. Employees are preferring proximity to key transit hubs such as metro stations and companies choosing their flex-office spaces accordingly. Innov8 recently announced pivot to a &#039;5 mins to a metro station&#039; strategy, where it will open new co- working centres near metro stations and key arterial roads across top business cities in India. It is witnessing high occupancy, demand and healthy rentals in its co-working centres within five minutes to metro stations and plans to expand to other key transit hubs across the country.

	
		 

	
		Centres in Chennai, Mumbai, and Delhi clocked an occupancy of over 95%, owing to Innov8&#039;s pivot to 5 minutes to station strategy. Guindy in Chennai has become the most sought-after area for coworking spaces due to excellent connectivity with rail, buses, and Chennai Metro. All Innov8s centres in Mumbai are in the Andheri East and are now operating at near full capacity with 100% occupancy for most centres. Emerging business cities such as Pune are also clocking over 95% occupancy and Innov8 centre in Hyderabad&#039;s HiTech City, is also clocking similar occupancy levels. Innov8 currently has seven centres in Delhi-NCR that have great connectivity with the Delhi Metro and Transit Metro, making it seamless for customers to travel across Delhi, Noida, and Gurgaon.

		Opening of new co-working centres near metro stations and key arterial roads across top business cities has resulted in a 10% growth in occupancy in just Q1 2023 vs same period in 2022.

	
		 

	
		Metro stations across major cities in India boasts of ample parking space, connectivity to suburban railway &amp; bus service or for last mile connectivity &amp; to encourage commuters to use the metro. Bridges and travelators to important hubs such as commercial spaces, workspaces and apartments nearby will further improve footfall and attract more commuters in the metro stations.

	
		 

	
		Innov8 provides premium co-working spaces with uninterrupted connectivity, easy access &amp; proximity to key transit hubs such as metro stations, airport, railway station &amp; more and flexible working arrangement, all this at an affordable price.



	 


	Talking about their renewed approach and expansion, Dr. Ritesh Malik, Founder of Innov8 said, &quot;As start-ups and businesses return to office, we have seen an increase in the number of inquiries for co- working spaces which has improved our overall occupancy. Our recent pivot to a &#039;5 minutes to a metro station&#039; strategy has also created a clear path of growth for us, and we have seen consistent improvement across parameters. A mindset shift to a hybrid and flexible workspace is evident across all major business cities in India as we have seen a growing preference for cost effective, managed spaces.&quot; 


	 


	Pankhuri Sakhuja, Business Head of Innov8 added, &quot;Individuals and businesses increasingly embrace collaborative and flexible spaces to enhance productivity and foster professional connections. The demand for coworking spaces is a testament to the changing landscape of work, where individuals seek a sense of community and a conducive environment that fosters collaboration and innovation.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Fixed deposits (FDs) are one of the most popular investment options in India due to their stability and guaranteed returns. However, with the current economic scenario, it is essential to ensure that your FD investment provides good returns. This is where Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit comes in.


	 


	Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit offers higher interest rates than those offered by banks. Moreover, you can use the FD interest rate calculator available on the website to check the maturity amount you will earn on your investment. This offers complete transparency and helps you make an informed decision. Apart from being higher than the regular FD rates, the special tenure is also an excellent way to increase your return on investment, as you receive a higher interest rate than what you would receive with a regular tenure.


	 


	Another core USP of Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit is that it offers interest rates up to 8.60% p.a. with flexible interest payment options. This is significantly higher than the interest rates offered by most banks and can help you earn substantial returns on your investment. You can choose to receive interest payouts monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually, based on your financial needs.

<title>ELSS and Market Volatility: How to Navigate Market Fluctuations with ELSS</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/elss-and-market-volatility-how-to-navigate-market-fluctuations-with-elss</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/elss-and-market-volatility-how-to-navigate-market-fluctuations-with-elss</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	In recent times, financial markets have been facing extreme volatility owing to major macroeconomic factors, which, in turn, have led to a hike in oil prices and interest rates. To steer clear of the high volatility associated with the stock market, many individuals have been looking for alternative investment options, which can aid in reducing portfolio risks. 


	 


	In this regard, an Equity Linked Saving Scheme (ELSS) can be an excellent choice. In 2022, the ELSS mutual fund category in India witnessed active investments worth Rs. 6,932.21 crores between January and October. In terms of returns, this category has been consistently offering 17% 3-year returns and 11% 5-year returns. 


	 


	So, what are ELSS funds


	ELSS is a type of mutual fund whose pooled funds are primarily invested in equity-related instruments. The portfolio is actively managed by a fund manager whose goal is to ensure risk-adjusted returns for the fund&#039;s investors. 
	 


	Now, it needs to be kept in mind that risk associated with market volatility can occur due to several micro and macroeconomic factors. It may occur due to fluctuations in demand and supply, fiscal policy changes, inflation, unemployment, and more. Under such circumstances, investing in ELSS funds can be one of the best ways to navigate market volatility. 
	 


	Wondering how Check out the benefits that one can get by investing in these funds. 


	 


	How can ELSS funds help navigate market volatility 


	Here is how ELSS funds can help deal with both short-term and long-term market fluctuations: 


	 


	Facilitates a lock-in period


	Unlike other mutual funds that offer high liquidity, ELSS mutual funds come with a 3-year lock-in period. This is applicable from the date of investment, and during this time, there is no provision for a premature exit. This feature prevents investors from panic selling during times of volatility and also helps maintain the stability of the fund&#039;s unit prices. 
	 


	It is to be noted that ELSS funds have the shortest lock-in period in comparison to other financial instruments like tax-saving FD (5 years) and PPF (15 years). 


	 


	Helps investors to save on taxes 


	By investing in ELSS funds, individuals can avail of income tax deductions of up to Rs. 1.5 lakh as per Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, 1961. This applies to the invested amount within a financial year. During times of market fluctuations, the return on investment for any kind of asset becomes unpredictable. But, making a tax-saving investment under such circumstances can provide dual benefits of wealth generation as well as savings. 


	 


	Provides a long-term investment horizon


	To invest in ELSS funds, investors need to have an investment horizon of more than 3 years. This is because the performance of such schemes depends on the price movements of the underlying equity assets. 
	 


	Staying invested in an ELSS fund for the specified lock-in period of 3 years or more helps to balance out the profits and losses incurred by the various assets in the fund&#039;s portfolio. This ensures stable returns to investors despite short and medium-term market fluctuations. 
	 


	Additionally, as ELSS mutual funds primarily deal with equity assets, their chances of generating higher returns are more than other tax-saving instruments. 


	 


	Enables investors to earn stable returns


	A significant benefit of investing in ELSS funds via SIP is that investors can take full advantage of rupee cost averaging. With SIP, investors can deal with high market volatility efficiently as the cost of investment gets averaged out in the long term. 


	 


	With ELSS funds, investors must stay invested for the specified lock-in period. If they opt for a Systematic Investment Plan and invest a fixed amount of money at regular intervals, they can get additional fund units with the same amount of investment during bearish markets. 
	 


	Use the Bajaj Finance SIP Return Calculator to get an idea of the returns on your mutual fund investment. 


	 


	In simpler words, when the market collapses, investors will receive a higher number of units; with markets rising, the return on investment gets averaged out across a long tenure irrespective of market fluctuations. This system helps fund managers generate stable returns for their investors in the long run.


	 


	Taxation of ELSS mutual funds


	Investing in an ELSS scheme can provide great taxation benefits. As investors cannot redeem their units before the end of their 3-year lock-in period, the capital gain from this scheme automatically comes under Long Term Capital Gains (LTCG). 
	 


	LTCG up to Rs. 1 lakh during a financial year are exempt from taxation. Amounts above this threshold are liable for taxation at a rate of 10%. 
	 


	When investing in tax-saving mutual funds, investors should consider choosing a reliab ]]></description>

<title>Achieving Work&#45;life Balance Seems a Reality with InRadius &#45; India&amp;apos;s First Location Based Job Search Platform</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	For years people in metro cities of India have travelled far for jobs spending nearly 2 to 3 hours in daily work commutes and are still doing so, unfortunately, no one has cared to deep dive into what these long daily commutes do to an individual. There are several studies and reports on how long daily commutes affect a person physically, and mentally and are adding to stress, depression and anxiety. For years job platforms have been stuck in the old traditional approaches and have never thought of how they can help solve one of the biggest problems of job seekers.
	
	It is more than a decade we have been hearing about work-life balance and employee well-being as one of the top corporate agendas but have hardly seen any action on it. Employers are busy filling their open positions and have never really cared or looked into how these daily long commutes affect their employees and in turn are one of the major reasons for low productivity. A major reason for low talent retention is long commutes and burnouts. A shorter commute will ensure improvement in employment tenures thus reducing the cost of hiring and rehiring.
	
	The daily long commutes also add to pressure on the public infrastructure and add to the ever-increasing pollution and has been one of the reasons for the deteriorating Air Quality Index (AQI) across the major metro cities of India.


	 


	An HRTech start-up, InRadius is Indias first radius-based job and talent search platform. The core purpose of the platform is to help people living in metro cities find jobs closer to their home and reduce the unproductive long hours spent on daily commute for work. Currently the platform is operational in Mumbai (including the Mumbai Metropolitan Regions), Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Delhi NCR and plans to expand its operations across all major metropolitan cities of India over the next 9 months.


	 


	InRadius aims to achieve 1 million registered job seekers, onboard over 2000 businesses, and have 10,000 active jobs on its platform by the end of March 2024.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Darshan Vyas, Founder &amp; CEO of InRadius


	 


	&quot;Through InRadius, we are committed to revolutionizing the job search experience and empowering individuals to find opportunities closer to their homes. Our goal is to create a positive impact on peoples lives by reducing long commutes and achieving a better work-life balance. We are excited about our ambitious targets and confident in our teams expertise to make a meaningful difference in the job market,&quot; said Darshan Vyas, Founder &amp; CEO of InRadius.


	 


	To achieve its business objectives, InRadius plans to implement comprehensive marketing strategies, including digital, outdoor, and PR campaigns, as well as brand collaborations. The company aims to secure funding, with 80% of the funds allocated toward achieving the objectives set for the next 12 months. Looking ahead, InRadius has set long-term goals that encompass its vision of transforming the job search landscape and fostering work-life balance. These goals include becoming the first choice for Indians seeking jobs closer to home, being the preferred talent search platform for startups and midsize companies, and addressing the long commute problem globally.


	 


	InRadius primarily targets professionals who endure long daily commutes, freshers seeking nearby job opportunities, and companies that value providing a better work-life balance. InRadius aims to be viewed by its major stakeholders as a company that revolutionized job and talent search, profoundly impacting peoples lives by reducing commute times and alleviating the burden on public infrastructure while lowering carbon emissions.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	In times of financial emergencies or when immediate funds are required, individuals often find themselves searching for convenient and reliable sources of financing. Bajaj Finance Gold Loan emerges as an ideal solution, providing quick access to funds against the security of gold jewellery. Gold loans help borrowers meet their immediate funding requirements without compromising their overall financial well-being.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finance Gold Loan


	 


	Applying for an instant gold loan is much easier compared to traditional lending options. Bajaj Finance offers a quick and easy process, competitive interest rates, and flexible repayment options, making it an attractive choice for those seeking instant funding. Borrowers just need their basic KYC documents and their 18-22-karat gold jewellery to easily get a Bajaj Finance Gold Loan starting from Rs. 5,000 up to Rs. 2 crore.

	Video Url: www.youtube.com/watchv=rMmKNPKG5ns


	 


	Let&#039;s discover the benefits of selecting a gold loan to meet instant funding requirements.


	 


	Low interest rates


	One big advantage of a gold loan is the comparatively low Bajaj Finance Gold Loan interest rate. Since borrowers pledge their gold as collateral, the risk for the lender decreases, resulting in lower interest rates. Bajaj Finance Gold Loan interest rates start from just 9.50% per annum, making it an attractive borrowing option. To estimate the interest amount based on their gold jewellery weight or loan amount, borrowers can conveniently utilise the free online Bajaj Finance gold loan calculator.


	 


	Convenient repayment options 


	Bajaj Finance provides customers with multiple repayment options for their gold loan, allowing them to choose the most suitable repayment method. They can opt to pay the full interest amount at the beginning of the loan term and clear the remaining principal at the end. Alternatively, borrowers can make interest payments on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly basis. Furthermore, Bajaj Finance offers a loan amount of up to 75% of the estimated weight of the pledged gold jewellery.


	 


	No credit dependency


	Another benefit of gold loans is that they do not require a high credit score. Even individuals with a low CIBIL Score or no credit history can avail of a gold loan. This is due to the loan being secured by physical gold jewellery, serving as collateral. To be eligible for the loan, borrowers only need to possess 18-22 karat gold jewellery.


	 


	Easy documentation 


	Gold loans involve minimal paperwork and quick processing. Unlike other loans that involve extensive documentation such as salary history and income proof, gold loans only require basic KYC details. Bajaj Finance follows a simple documentation process where borrowers can submit one of the following KYC documents: Aadhaar Card, voter ID card, passport, or driving licence. Income proof documents are not required.


	 


	Convenient application process


	The processing of gold loans is quick and hassle-free as they involve minimal documentation and simple eligibility checks. Any Indian citizen between 21 and 70 years can easily apply for a gold loan. Bajaj Finance offers two convenient options for application: borrowers can either visit a nearby branch in person or apply online through a simple process on the Bajaj Finance website.


	 


	To apply online, customers just need to:


	
		
			Go to the Bajaj Finance Gold Loan page.
	
	
		
			Open the online application form.
	
	
		
			Enter their 10-digit mobile number and get the OTP.
	
	
		
			Submit the OTP to verify their details.
	
	
		
			Select their state and city to locate their nearest branch.
	
	
		
			Enter their full name and date of birth as per their PAN.
	
	
		
			Set up an appointment at their nearest branch.
	



	Once the application is submitted, a representative from Bajaj Finance connects with the customer to help them with the process further. With more than 800 branches across India, Bajaj Finance ensures quick and easy loan processing, making the customers have a convenient loan experience.

<title>The Importance of Monitoring CIBIL Score with Credit Pass</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/the-importance-of-monitoring-cibil-score-with-credit-pass</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/the-importance-of-monitoring-cibil-score-with-credit-pass</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Close your eyes and imagine standing atop a mountain, surveying the vast panorama below. Now, replace that mountaintop with a bird&#039;s-eye view of your credit health where every detail is crystal clear and within your grasp. Welcome to the world of monitoring your CIBIL Score with the Bajaj Finance Credit Pass! Let&#039;s take a closer look at the importance of credit score monitoring and how Credit Pass empowers you to take control of your financial journey.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	The Importance of Monitoring CIBIL Score with Credit Pass


	 


	Understanding your CIBIL Score and the factors that influence it 


	Your three-digit CIBIL Score is a number ranging from 300 to 900 that showcases your financial credibility. The higher the score, the better your chances of getting approved for loans or credit cards. A score of 750+ is ideal because it opens doors to better terms and lower interest rates.


	 


	However, your CIBIL Score is not set in stone. It&#039;s influenced by various factors, and keeping track of them is vital for maintaining a healthy credit profile. There are five primary factors with a contributing weightage to the calculation of your credit score:


	
		
			Payment history (35%): Timely payments are the building blocks of a strong credit foundation. Every payment made on time and in full strengthens your CIBIL Score, while missed or delayed payments damage it.
	
	
		
			Credit utilisation (30%): Just like consuming an entire pizza makes you appear greedy and hurts your physical health, using your total available credit each month is a red flag for lenders and hurts your financial health.
	
	
		
			Length of credit history (15%): Lenders are impressed by an established track record of responsible credit management.
	
	
		
			Credit mix (10%): A healthy credit mix proves that you&#039;re capable of handling different types of credit and inspires confidence in lenders.
	
	
		
			Credit enquiries (10%): Every &#039;hard&#039; enquiry that occurs when you apply for credit and lenders pull up your credit report hurts your CIBIL Score. Too many of these within a short duration creates the impression that you&#039;re credit hungry and relying too heavily on credit.
	



	 


	The need for monitoring your CIBIL Score


	Imagine driving a car without looking at the dashboard. You wouldn&#039;t know if the fuel is running low, if the engine needs attention, or how fast you&#039;re going and if you need to slow down. That could be dangerous, right Monitoring your CIBIL Score is like checking those vital gauges - you can detect any unexpected changes, identify areas that need attention, and take action before it&#039;s too late. Keeping a close eye on your score helps you stay on track and make informed financial choices.


	 


	Why Bajaj Finance Credit Pass


	With the Credit Pass advantage, you get a new perspective on credit monitoring that makes your journey towards financial success a smoother and brighter experience. Elevate your credit game by making the most of a range of Credit Pass benefits:


	
		
			Stay informed: Your personalised Credit Pass dashboard gives you a complete overview of all your credit accounts and real-time updates on your credit health, ensuring you never miss a beat.
	
	
		
			Detect and correct: Track your credit factors and your CIBIL Score through monthly updates to identify areas of improvement and discrepancies or errors, and then take prompt action to fix them.
	
	
		
			Improve your score: Use interactive tools like the Credit Score Simulator and the EMI Calculator to make informed decisions to improve your score.
	



	 


	Harness the power of Credit Pass and enhance your creditworthiness. Whether it&#039;s paying bills on time, reducing your credit card balances, or diversifying your credit mix, Credit Pass equips you with all the insight you need to unlock a world of financial opportunities.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	BOOTES, India&#039;s first Net-Zero Construction-Tech company, builds India&#039;s first and largest Net-Zero Library in Jhansi within a record time of 90 days. The 12000 sq. ft. Jhansi Library project commissioned by the Jhansi Development Authority (JDA) and supported by Jhansi Smart City, creates an immersive environment for learning and self-development. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Director BOOTES Impex Tech Pvt. Ltd., Mr. Vishal Agarwal, Managing Director BOOTES Impex Tech Pvt. Ltd. Mr. Deepak Rai, India Asia Book of Records adjudicator Mr. Sugata Das


	 


	Continuing with the legacy of learning evident in ancient libraries such as the Jetavana monastery at Sravasti (Uttar Pradesh) and the Nalanda University (Bihar), the Jhansi Library is a blend of rich cultural heritage and future-forward sustainable design thinking. The Jhansi Library, aligned to the Net-Zero Vision 2070 given by Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi is India&#039;s first and only Net-Zero library that generates 100% energy on-site and reduces up to 85% of carbon emissions.


	 


	The Jhansi Library is a marvel of sustainable architecture, utilizing ancient resources and modern techniques to create a truly environmentally friendly space. Designed with the needs of students in mind, the library incorporates a three-tiered approach to sustainability, ensuring maximum efficiency and low environmental impact. At the first level, the library is designed to take advantage of natural light, keeping in mind the rhythm of the sun to create bright, inviting gathering and reading spaces. A Health-Oriented Indoor Environment is created with a state-of-the-art ventilation system, which prevents the spread of airborne diseases and improves air quality. Moving to the second level, the librarys construction principles ensure 100% on-site Renewable Energy Generation through the use of solar PV panels and a wind turbine - reducing reliance on fossil fuels. An exemplar of energy efficiency, the annual electricity consumption for the HVAC system is expected at 30 MWh - much lower compared to 150 MWh used by a traditional system. Finally, at the third level, the building is designed to reduce up to 85% carbon emission by using next-generation heat pump technology, powered by solar PV energy to ensure optimal cooling and heating while consuming the least amount of energy possible. The library also employs water conservation measures such as rainwater collection and on-site greywater treatment to help preserve water resources. Sophisticated Building Management Systems streamline the management of the entire facility through computer-controlled systems, further reducing the environmental footprint. Overall, Jhansi Library is a modern, sustainable space that showcases how ancient techniques can be blended with modern technology to create a space that is not only beautiful but also functional, healthy, and environmentally responsible.


	 


	Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Alok Yadav, Vice-Chairman of Jhansi Development Authority said, &quot;Imagined in India, Innovated for India, Instilled in India. The Jhansi Library, designed and engineered by BOOTES with cutting-edge global technology, is a revolutionary step in India&#039;s journey towards Net-Zero Vision 2070. It is a symbol of eco-friendly practices, innovation and community empowerment as it provides resources that enable learning and knowledge sharing for the youth and community at large. We commend the BOOTES team for constructing a 12000 sq. ft. area, and three floors of green architecture to support the Aatmanirbhar Infrastructure and National Smart Cities Mission within a record-breaking timeline of 90 days.&quot;


	 


	&quot;We are grateful to the Jhansi Development Authority (JDA) for giving us this opportunity. The leadership team at JDA &amp; Uttar Pradesh government have shown their dedication to ingenuity, eco-friendly practices, and development. We believe this endeavour will motivate others to embrace a sustainable future which is the true hallmark of progress.

<title>LenDenClub Makes History as First P2P Lending Platform to Enable ESOP Liquidity</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	LenDenClub, Indias leading and most trusted Peer-to-Peer lending platform, proudly announces its successful ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) liquidation, reaffirming its commitment to fostering a culture of meritocracy and rewarding its employees for their exceptional contributions.
	 


	LenDenClub has emerged as the pioneer in the Indian fintech industry by becoming the first Peer-to-Peer lending platform to facilitate ESOP liquidity. Among the companys workforce consisting of 200 employees, approximately 30% of team members, spanning across senior, mid-level, and junior positions, possess ESOPs. When considering the current liquidation event, it is notable that approximately 85% of eligible employees have opted to exercise their right to participate. Nevertheless, it is worth mentioning that a select number of individuals have made the decision to pursue partial liquidation rather than opting for the complete liquidation.
	 


	As an organization deeply rooted in meritocracy, LenDenClub believes in recognizing and rewarding individuals who work hard and achieve outstanding results. In line with this philosophy, the company offers ESOPs to its employees, recognizing their instrumental role in creating value for the organization. Unlike many other companies, LenDenClub extends ESOP eligibility to every single employee, regardless of their position within the company.
	 


	The pandemic had posed many financial challenges for individuals across the globe. In a heartening incident, a former office boy who had been allocated ESOPs faced financial distress due to home loan EMIs. Recognizing the employees plight, the management acted promptly and offered their support by facilitating the liquidation of his ESOPs, providing crucial financial relief. This compassionate gesture took place in the midst of the pandemic in 2020.   


	Now, the company has introduced a liquidity program specifically designed for the current ESOP holders, further enhancing their financial opportunities.
	 


	ESOPs have proven to be a transformative benefit for LenDenClubs employees. Another former employee, Priti Ranjan Dhal, was grateful for steadfast support during a significant milestone in his life, thanks to the ESOPs provided by the company. Priti Ranjan Dhal, who joined LenDenClub during its early stages, contributed for approximately four years before eventually parting ways.
	 


	The story of Rajat Sinha, a senior executive with over five years of stint at LenDenClub, exemplifies the remarkable patience and incredible returns that ESOPs can offer. Despite contemplating selling his ESOPs earlier in 2019, Rajat chose to hold onto his shares till this liquidation event. His decision was rewarded with an astounding return of 15 times more than the previous valuation, providing him with an unexpected windfall and reaffirming the potential of LenDenClubs growth.
	 


	&quot;This is a proud moment for me and my Co-founder Dipesh. Our team has shown unwavering belief in us, and we have proven them right. This achievement further reinforces our companys commitment to rewarding our top performers with additional ESOPs. Inspired by the meritocratic principles of the global giant 3G Capital, we implemented them in LenDenClub a few years ago. The results have been remarkable, not just in terms of organizational performance, but also in terms of wealth creation for our team members. We have individuals who hold a range of ESOPs, from a few to a few hundred. Considering the set price of Rs. 3.25 lakhs for this current round of liquidation, the extent of wealth creation is truly remarkable. However, its important to remember that earning such wealth requires patience,&quot; stated Bhavin Patel, CEO of LenDenClub. &quot;We strongly believe in a shared vision, meritocracy, and our commitment to building wealth for our dedicated team members who contribute to the growth of our organization.&quot;
	 


	LenDenClubs pioneering move in facilitating ESOP liquidity sets a new benchmark in the fintech industry, highlighting the organizations progressive approach towards employee benefits. By recognizing the contributions and fostering the financial well-being of its employees, LenDenClub aims to continue leading the way in fostering a culture of excellence and growth.

<title>Truliv Raises $1.5 Million from Conquest Global Ventures VCC, Vara Future LLP, and Others</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Truliv, a Chennai-based Co-living and Holiday Homes startup, successfully raised a pre-seed round of $1.5 million Growth fund from various investors led by Conquest Global Ventures VCC, Vara Future LLP, and others at a post-money valuation of Rs. 60.0 Crs. This is the first Chennai-based Coliving startup to raise a seed round.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Mr. Rohit Reddy Co-founder, Truliv 


	 


	Coliving is an alternate real estate offering that offers high-quality, well-located shared rental accommodation. This is driven by Millennials who want convenience &amp; ease of living. Coliving is convenient as it provides a desirable house at affordable costs and a much-needed community living experience. As corporate India moves to a hybrid work style, the young workforce will always seek options and better living spaces that allow WFH to run smoothly. Coliving demand is set to grow 10x within the next decade and is expected to double by 2024 from current levels as per the latest Colliers reference. The Coliving model is set to solve the affordable housing problems at least for the young workforce who can find plug &amp; play accommodation.


	 


	The Potential of the Industry 


	A report by Colliers International indicated that there are currently 50+ operators in the Co-living space, getting an expected yield between 7 to 9%, with approximately 210,000 beds in the organized space with rental ranges between Rs. 8,000 to 14,000 per month. The market value of organized players in the Co-living industry is around INR 25000 crores and this sector has seen PE Investment of USD 900+ mn.


	 


	Demand drivers for Coliving include rising workforce trends, an inefficient unorganized sector that includes demand-supply gaps and poor facilities, migration towards urban centers, and an increasing student population. Organized Coliving is concentrated largely in metro and tier 1 cities of India with expansion being witnessed across Tier II cities as well. The Colliers report stated that 210,000 beds during Q4 of 2021 saw 70% occupancy.


	 


	The concept of shared economy got severely tested during the peak of the pandemic. Factors such as uncertain economic conditions resulting in the loss of jobs, work from home and the shift of migrant population to their respective hometowns brought the evolving Co-living sector to an immediate halt. With the situation improving rapidly, the sector has recovered substantially and is looking more optimistic. Co-living has a strong long-term potential in metro cities. However, the current market scenario has presented an opportunity to consolidate and reconfigure the market. While many players have exited the business as they could not sustain the financial stress of the previous years, others have capitalized on the opportunity to strengthen their position by strategic acquisitions and expansion in prime locations within the metro cities.


	
	Quotes


	Speaking on this occasion, Mr. Rohit Reddy Co-founder, Truliv said, &quot;Truliv intends to utilize these funds for the growth of its Co-living, and Holiday Homes business verticals. The company targets to reach 7000 Coliving beds in Chennai, by 2025, which is a 3X increase from its current capacity, and to 36 Holiday Homes across Tamil Nadu by 2025 which is a 5X increase from its current capacity. Our scale-up plan for Coliving and Holiday Homes is backed by the demand we see in this space. Coliving has immense potential since it is flexible, convenient, and social. Truliv will en vigor to be at the forefront of India&#039;s growth story by providing alternative and convenient solutions for the future.&quot;


	 


	Mr. Ranjeeth Rathod, Co-founder, Truliv said, &quot;Were grateful to our investors for believing in our growth potential as firmly as we do. This funding will take us one step closer to our long-term goal of expanding pan India and becoming one of the market leaders in the Co-living space. The Demand for shared living spaces is expected to rise significantly over the next few years. Our aim is to provide quality and convenience of living at an affordable cost.&quot; Truliv is the only operator in the country to promote Built to Suit Coliving spaces that are of the highest standards.


	 


	Incorporated in 2019, Truliv is a subsidiary of DRA created for the purpose of redefining alternate real estate class. Truliv provides housing and community solutions for all demographic populations of India right from millennials to retired people. The COVID pandemic disrupted lives and forced people to make alternative plans for their housing driven more by an urge to stay within proximity of their workplaces. Post-pandemic, shared housing models like Coliving have seen increased demand and acceptance, especially from the millennials.


	 


	About Co-living


	Co-living is a professionally managed process-oriented organization operating in the Co-living spectrum with a collective experience ]]></description>

<title>Camatic Seating Uses Infor Integrated AI Solution to Help Improve Customer Satisfaction, Increase Revenues and Optimize Vendor Selection Process</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Infor, the industry cloud company, announced that Camatic Seating - a leading supplier and manufacturer of ergonomic seating solutions for stadiums, arenas, cinemas, theaters, educational institutions and transit areas around the world - is using Infor&#039;s integrated artificial intelligence (AI) solution to help improve customer satisfaction, increase revenues and optimize the vendor selection process.


	 


	Melbourne, Australia-based Camatic Seating has developed innovative seating solutions for some of the most iconic venues in the world - including Wimbledon, the Sydney Opera House refurbishment, Melbourne Cricket Ground and the high-tech Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, which hosted the 2019 Super Bowl. Camatic Seating also is a seating provider to stadiums of the National Football League (NFL), National Basketball Association (NBA) and Major League Soccer (MLS).


	 


	As Camatic Seating grows and enters new markets, its goal is to continue to deliver seating solutions without delays, so customers can complete their construction projects as scheduled.


	 


	With Infor Coleman AI, Camatic Seating anticipates that it will increase its sales-win rates by 5%, which would translate into $10 million to $15 million in new revenue. The company also expects that Infor Coleman AI will help speed up its vendor selection process by 93%, reducing the time it takes to pull vendor data from 30 minutes to two minutes.


	 


	&quot;With artificial intelligence applied to key business processes, we now have the confidence to tell our customers we can deliver seating on time, which is critical for them to complete projects on their end - such as building out seating for a new stadium, cinema, or any construction with time sensitivity,&quot; said Jamarl Scase, Head of Operations - Australia at Camatic Seating.


	 


	Improving sales forecasting and customer satisfaction


	Taking advantage of the modern Infor OS technology platform that underpins Camatic Seating&#039;s enterprise resource planning (ERP) system - Infor CloudSuite™ Industrial Enterprise - Camatic Seating applied Infor Coleman AI to five years of disparate customer relationship management (CRM) data to help generate more accurate forecasts and win predictions. Implemented in less than 30 days, the AI-driven insights are delivered through Infor Birst analytic dashboards, and those insights are accessible on demand.


	 


	Prior to leveraging Infor OS to better utilize data to generate insights, creating monthly sales forecasts was a manual process. Capacity planning, based on these forecasts, was prone to risk and unforeseen costs such as lack of supplies and outsourcing work to subcontractors.


	 


	Now, the entire organization uses the same real-time information to help deliver seating solutions to customers on time. Management and sales teams are more effective in strategic decision making; operations is better equipped to plan for capacity; and procurement can acquire the right number of raw materials at the right time.


	 


	Automating the vendor selection process


	With Infor Coleman AI applied to vendor performance data, Camatic Seating can automatically assign grades to suppliers in five categories. Planners can quickly look at multiple suppliers in the same category and compare their ratings. There also is a summary breakdown of past vendor performance - in terms of delivery promptness, quality and price. The Camatic Seating team can make a selection based on the overall ranking, and it also can see the details behind the ranking.


	 


	&quot;We weren&#039;t really analyzing the data in a consistent manner, and it led to us sometimes making the incorrect supply selection,&quot; Scase said. &quot;Previously, it was arduous for the material planners to get that data out and analyze it, sometimes taking up to 30 minutes at a time to figure out what the supplier&#039;s performance had been. Now, by applying AI to our historical data, they can have that information with more accuracy and consistency at the touch of a button.&quot;


	 


	According to Scase, more accurate and targeted vendor selection ultimately leads to better delivery performance and the ability to manufacture better-quality products at a lower cost.

<title>Bajaj Finance is Now Offering Higher FD Rates on Special Tenure</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-is-now-offering-higher-fd-rates-on-special-tenure</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-is-now-offering-higher-fd-rates-on-special-tenure</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	The most essential feature that compels individuals to invest in FD is its stable interest rate. It is not exposed to market volatilities. Depositors can grow their money in a secure way since the interest rate they get remains unchanged. This is also the reason why they should invest in an FD that offers a high-interest rate.
	 


	At Bajaj Finance, individuals can choose a special maturity period for their FD to secure the market-best FD rates. For special tenures, the FD rate remains higher compared to regular tenures.
	 


	Bajaj Finance has recently increased the maximum FD rates for up to 8.60% per annum with the constant increase of repo rate that stands at 6.5%, a remarkable hike of 250 bps since May 2022. It makes the present time arguably one of the best times to invest in FD.
	 


	Grow fixed deposit quicker with special tenure at Bajaj Finance


	At Bajaj Finance, individuals can open their fixed deposit account by investing an amount starting from only Rs. 15,000 at an interest rate of up to 8.60% per annum. There are two types of tenure that this financial institution offers - regular and special.
	 


	By choosing to book the FD for any of the special tenures, they can grow their money at higher FD rates than the regular tenure. Special tenures extended by Bajaj Finserv are 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, and 44 months.
	 


	Generally, with a higher tenure the FD rate increases but this may not work in the same way for a special tenure. Check out how from the table mentioned below:


	
		
			
				
					Tenures (special tenure is marked with *)
			
			
				
					FD rates for senior citizens
			
			
				
					FD rates for non-senior citizens
			
		
		
			
				
					30*
			
			
				
					7.70% p.a.
			
			
				
					7.45% p.a.
			
		
		
			
				
					31
			
			
				
					7.60% p.a.
			
			
				
					7.35% p.a.
			
		
		
			
				
					44*
			
			
				
					8.60% p.a.
			
			
				
					8.35% p.a.
			
		
		
			
				
					45
			
			
				
					8.30% p.a.
			
			
				
					8.05% p.a.
			
		
	



	
	Note: The FD rates are subject to change from time to time as per the discretion of the financial institution, Bajaj Finance. Visit the official page of Bajaj Finance FD to know the exact interest at the time investment.
	 


	From the table mentioned below, individuals can notice that FD rates are relatively higher in the case of maturity periods of 30 months and 44 months, two special tenures offered by Bajaj Finance.
	 


	The table below shows how a non-senior citizen can earn extra by choosing the special tenure of 44 months compared to the regular tenure of 45 months:


	
		
			
				
					Tenure (months)
			
			
				
					FD rate (per annum)
			
			
				
					Interest earned on Rs. 10,00,00
			
		
		
			
				
					44*
			
			
				
					8.35%
			
			
				
					Rs. 3,41,586
			
		
		
			
				
					45
			
			
				
					8.05%
			
			
				
					Rs. 3,36,881
			
		
	



	
	Note: Results have been generated using Bajaj Finance FD Calculator.
	 


	The table mentioned here delineates how a special tenure can help individuals earn more on their deposits compared to the immediately higher tenure.
	 


	Things individuals need to consider while choosing the tenure for FD.


	Although the interest rate is one of the major factors that individuals check while choosing tenure, there are also a couple of other aspects they need to consider:
	 


	
		
			Investment horizon: Investment horizon is the period for which individuals intend to stay invested according to their financial plan. They can decide the time according to their financial goals or strategies and accordingly, choose a short or long-term plan to grow their deposits.
	
	
		
			Future financial goals: Individuals need to first consider if they would have to face any larger expense at any point within their investment horizon. It can be for wedding or higher education of their sons and daughters or something else. They can grow the fund through fixed deposit investments and meet those expenses using the aggregated fund. For this, they will have to choose tenure considering the time they have in their hand.
			​
	



	Special tenure on Bajaj Finance Systematic Deposit Plan


	Bajaj Finance also lets its customers enjoy the feature of special tenure on its Systematic Deposit Plan. This is a strategic investment plan in which customers need to deposit an amount between Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 5 crore every month for the tenure they choose.
	 


	Customers have the option to withdraw the entire deposit and the interest earned at one go after the tenure completes. Alternatively, they can go for the &#039;Monthly Maturity Scheme&#039; in which they will get aggregated value of each FD monthly post the maturity period.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Ginesys, a leading technology solutions provider for retail businesses, has announced the launch of Live Sync, a new feature that enables real-time two-way data synchronization with its ERP solution. This innovative functionality ensures that inventory and sales information from physical stores are instantaneously updated in the brands head office ERP system. By leveraging Live Sync, brands and retailers can confidently rely on highly accurate and up-to-date data for their e-commerce stores and marketplaces. Live Sync has already garnered praise during its initial rollout, with Manyavar and Biba as early adopters.


	 


	&quot;Manyavar has been associated with Ginesys for the last 20 years. With more than 600+ Stores across India and abroad, the earlier mechanism of sync wasn&#039;t providing us the real-time updates about sales. The focus of Ginesys has always been to introduce new tech innovation and with the introduction of the live sync feature, we are getting near real time sales and inventory positions from stores throughout the day and it is phenomenal as it is helping us in streamlining our supply chain,&quot; said Sushil Agarwal, CIO, Vedant Fashions (Manyavar).

This real-time synchronization capability offers businesses a heightened level of efficiency, collaboration, and seamless integration across multiple platforms.


	 


	Previously, updates were delivered to the ERP in batches, potentially resulting in outdated information. With the implementation of Live Sync, sales and stock data in the Ginesys ERP can be immediately visualized through dashboards and instantly propagated to web stores.


	 


	Commenting on the announcement, Prashant Lohia, Founder and CEO of Ginesys, stated, &quot;While our brands are at the forefront of omni-channel retailing in India, many of them still utilize our offline POS. This upgrade equips Ginesys One with real-time update capabilities, even when utilizing the desktop Ginesys POS.&quot;

<title>SKF India Renews its Partnership with Goa River Marathon</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			Introduces The 20-Miler Race in its 13th edition
	
	
		
			10 km &quot;Corporate Challenge&quot; race in association with Verna Industries Association
	



	 


	SKF India, the leading technology and solutions provider of bearings and services, extends its partnership with Vasco Sports Club for the third consecutive year for the Goa River Marathon (GRM) to be held at Chicalim, Vasco-da-Gama on Sunday, December 10, 2023. The highly anticipated 13th edition of the SKF Goa River Marathon, will feature an addition to its race categories - the inaugural &quot;20-Miler&quot; (32 km) race. This marks the first time this distance will be introduced, making it one of the few marathons in the country to include this race category. Also making its debut will be the 10 km &quot;Corporate Challenge&quot; race being organised in association with the Verna Industries Association (VIA).


	 


	The event will continue to feature the full marathon (42 km), half marathon (21 km), 10 km, the 5 km race for school teams and a 5 km fun walk-run for first timers, as it has in its previous editions.


	 


	To build up the excitement, the inaugural run will take place at the Verna Industrial estate, in association with the Verna Industries Association and GIDC (Goa Industries Development Corporation) on Sunday, June 18, at 6:00 am. The run is expected to witness the participation of over 1000 running enthusiasts from all over Goa.


	 


	Nitin Bandekar, President of Vasco Sports Club (VSC), the promoters of the event, said, &quot;We are honoured to collaborate once again with SKF as our title sponsor. The &quot;20-Miler&quot; race has been introduced to encourage half marathoners to make the transition to the full marathon gradually. This is the perfect distance for those not yet ready for the full marathon, as jumping straight to a full Marathon from a half marathon is a huge decision both mentally and physically. We could also be the only marathon in the country making this offering.&quot;


	 


	Manish Bhatnagar, Managing Director, SKF India Ltd. said, &quot;We are proud to renew our partnership as the title sponsors of Goa River Marathon. Both organizations share a commitment to celebrating the joy of running and the power of the human spirit, and our collaboration is another way for us to empower participants to stay strong in spirit, mind, and body.

<title>Which Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit should you pick to diversify your investment portfolio</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/which-bajaj-finance-fixed-deposit-should-you-pick-to-diversify-your-investment-portfolio</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/which-bajaj-finance-fixed-deposit-should-you-pick-to-diversify-your-investment-portfolio</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Investing in fixed deposits to realise your financial and investment goals is a smart choice. This is because FDs are an ideal tool to hedge against risker options and they balance your investment portfolios well. To get the best out of your investment, it is highly recommended to evaluate all FD options and choose the FD rates available with Bajaj Finance that enhances your investment returns.


	 


	With the current interest rate regime many financiers offer decent FD returns, however, with an ROI of 8.60% p.a. Bajaj Finance offers one of the best FD rates in the current market. However, to materialise your goals not only choosing the best FD rates but also selecting a suitable investment type is crucial. Once you are clear on your investment goals, you can choose a Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit type that serves you best.


	 


	Bajaj Finance and most other financiers primarily offer two types of FDs, cumulative and non-cumulative FD. You can select one based on your preferences and goals.


	 


	1. Cumulative fixed deposit


	A cumulative fixed deposit account is where you get your payout amount all at once until the tenure ends. You get a lump sum at maturity. This type is perfect for those looking to fund long-term goals. Be it buying a car, saving for a home down payment, or funding your child&#039;s wedding. This tool is ideal when you need money altogether at once and do not have immediate cash requirements. You can use the online FD calculator to get an idea of how much you can make at maturity.


	 


	2. Non-cumulative fixed deposit 


	This type of FD is perfect for those who require a regular cash flow. Here the interest is paid off periodically, you can choose from monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual payouts. These payouts can be used to pay off EMIs, loan amounts, and credit card bills or even be used as a monthly income source, especially for senior citizens who are retired. You can easily plan your retirement by investing in a non-cumulative FD and use these FD proceedings as a monthly payment as a substitute for your salary. You can use the Bajaj Finance online FD monthly payout calculator to get an estimate of how much you need to invest to get a desired monthly payout.


	 


	3. Systematic Deposit Plan (SDP)


	In addition to cumulative and non-cumulative FD types, Bajaj Finance also offers an industry-first investment option called the Systematic Deposit Plan (SDP). The SDP is more like a combination of both types of FDs and SIP. This allows you to start your investment journey even if you do not have a large savings corpus in place. Making it perfect for students and early earners. This helps in inculcating a savings habit early in life. You can start with just Rs. 5000. Under the SDP, you have two variants based on payout options, one being the Monthly Maturity Scheme (MMS) where you get monthly payouts much like the non-cumulative option and the Single Maturity Scheme (SMS) where you get a lump sum payout at maturity.


	 


	Based on your investment goals, income, and expenses you can evaluate these 3 options and choose the one that suits you best. Apart from choosing an FD option with the highest FD rates choose the right FD type, which is made to achieve your goals. You can use the easily available online FD calculator to evaluate and compare FD options for your investment goals. Each type offers individual advantages to suit your investment objectives. Doing this can help you achieve your investment goals in a hassle-free manner.

	After successfully kicking off #VC101 in Mumbai, India&#039;s apex industry body for alternative assets, the Indian Venture and Alternate Capital Association (IVCA), held its second in-person learning session for #VC101 in Bengaluru on June 15. #VC101 is an industry-led knowledge-sharing programme for first-time fund managers (FTFMs) organised by IVCA in collaboration with knowledge partners - Price Waterhouse &amp; Co LLP and IC Universal Legal. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	IVCAs 2nd Edition of #VC101 in Bengaluru, Educates FTFMs on Fundraising Skills for Success


	
	With over 100 registrations the Bengaluru edition covered themes such as fundraising from global and domestic pools of capital, India&#039;s investment potential, FTFMs to better navigate LP-GP relationships, LPs&#039; key considerations for investments, and strategies that should be adopted by FTFMs when pitching to investors. 


	
	Spearheading the Bengaluru edition Manish Kheterpal, Co-founder &amp; Managing Partner, WaterBridge Ventures, and VC Council member, IVCA, said, &quot;The Venture Capital asset class in India has matured enough to attract a diverse range of investors, including global LPs, domestic institutional LPs, corporate investors, government-sponsored fund-of-funds, and family offices who are taking a more structured approach to managing their wealth.&quot;


	
	Manish further adds, &quot;In the current environment of increased focus on building sustainable and profitable businesses, fund managers will need to equip themselves with superior portfolio construction and fund sizing skills. More tact is therefore required in navigating LP-GP negotiations, fundraising processes as well as full cycle investments-to-exit excellence. IVCA&#039;s #VC101 programme aims to bridge gaps born out of this need and will eventually help build a new crop of successful fund managers in India.&quot;


	
	Other lead mentors who joined the Bengaluru edition of #VC101 were - Anil Joshi, Managing Partner, Unicorn India Ventures; Anand Lunia, Founding Partner, India Quotient; Jayshree Kanther Patodi, Co-founder and Partner, Enzia Partners; Anjali Sosale, Partner, WaterBridge Ventures; Himanshu Mandavia, Partner, Price Waterhouse &amp; Co LLP; Leelavathi Naidu, Partner, IC Universal Legal; Sushreet Pattanayak, Partner, IC Universal Legal; Siddharth Jhunjhunwala, Head Waterfield Fund of Funds, Waterfield Advisors; Ankur Nishar, Director - Deals (Tax), Price Waterhouse &amp; Co LLP; Chirantan Patnaik, Director - Venture Capital, British International Investment (BII); KC Ganesh, President, Pratithi Investments; Krupa Shankar, Principal, NIIF; Naganand Doraswamy, Managing Partner and Founder, Ideaspring Capital; Rohit Bhayana, CEO &amp; Co-founder, Oister Global; Ruchira Shukla, South Asia Regional Lead for Disruptive Technology Investments, IFC. 


	
	Through #VC101, IVCA aims to advance India&#039;s venture capital environment and amplify the &quot;India opportunity.&quot; With multiple investors raising their largest-ever India-focused funds in 2022, India currently sits on a vast dry powder reserve. Moreover, recently, limited partners and sovereign wealth funds have demonstrated increased commitment to India, as India&#039;s strong fundamentals are expected to comfortably offset the compression in funding brought on by global macroeconomic uncertainties. Thus, India continues to shine as a beacon of steady growth, and it is this India opportunity that #VC101 aims to push FTFMs to leverage.


	 


	Himanshu Mandavia, Partner, Price Waterhouse &amp; Co LLP, said, &quot;Amidst the ever-evolving economic landscape and dynamic regulatory framework, aspiring participants venturing into the fund industry often face overwhelming challenges. The #VC101 programme organised by IVCA, is an excellent opportunity for first-time fund managers to grasp crucial aspects and glean insights from seasoned venture capital industry experts who have successfully paved the path for the next generation of fund managers.&quot;


	
	Tejesh Chitlangi, Senior Partner, IC Universal Legal, said, &quot;I am delighted to serve as a mentor in the VC101 program, an initiative by IVCA designed to guide first-time fund managers. As a knowledge partner for VC101, IC Universal Legal, intends to cover fund structures for family offices in the Bengaluru edition of VC101, and walk first time fund managers through the considerations that they may need to keep in mind while creating AIFs to manage capital from family offices or while raising capital from other institutional investors such as fund-of-funds, development finance institutions and other global investors. This should help first time fund managers tap into growing pool of investors looking to add Indian AIF investments as a part of their portfolio.&quot;


	
	The next edition of #VC101 will take place in New Delhi on July 6. Participating FTFMs can look forward to mentorship from Rajan Anandan (Managing Director, Peak XV Partners), Priyanka Chopra (Chief Operating Officer, Managi ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	In the lively world of music, talent seems to have no boundaries. Amidst the highly competitive environment, Rahul Siddharth Kamble has emerged as a prominent name in the Indian music industry. The supremely talented singer-producer has captivated everyones attention with his debut track Chalna Aage Kaafi.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Singer Rahul Siddharth Kamble


	 


	Passionate about music from an early age, the versatile singer states that he was exposed to great music while riding in the car with his father to school, listening to the songs of bigwigs like A.R. Rahman, Ajay-Atul and Pritam among other musical maestros on 93.5 FM. On discovering his love for music, Rahul chose to pursue his dreams. Since then, there has been no looking back for him.
	 


	For him, music is therapy and an escape from the chaotic world. Chalna Aage Kaafi is just the start of his work, and he aims to experiment with different sounds. Moreover, the singer is hoping to explore new musical territories and collaborate with new-age artists from the music industry. In addition, Chalna Aage Kaafi is a very special song for Rahul as he considers it close to his heart.
	 


	Speaking about it, he said, &quot;The decision to make this song the opening track held great significance since it serves as a reminder to myself not to get caught up in the joys and sorrows of the past and present while pursuing my goals. Happiness is in the present, and we must live in every moment. I have tried to encapsulate the message through this song.&quot;
	 


	Along with good music, Rahul Siddharth Kamble got exposed to incredible cinema (both Hindi and Marathi) at a young age. &quot;At times, I used to go to the cinema halls to understand the film music. In the later years of life, I was fortunate to listen to world music like Kendrick Lamar, Pharell, Paco de Lucia and Tyler, the Creator. Music has been an integral part of my life ever since,&quot; Rahul further added.
	 


	Coming back to Chalna Aage Kaafi, Rahul made an interesting revelation that he wrote the song while making food. &quot;As an artist, when ideas come out of your subconscious mind, you have to give it due respect. It is the purest form of your expression. I loved the idea so much that I ended up making a music album,&quot; he revealed. After the debut song, Rahul Siddharth Kamble has several other projects in the pipeline, and he cannot wait to show his music to the world.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	In times of emergency, you may find yourself needing financial assistance to cover unforeseen expenses. Whether it is for urgent medical bills, your childrens tuition fees, a wedding, or starting a new business, relying on loans becomes essential when emergency funds are insufficient.


	 


	If you own gold jewellery, availing a loan against it can be a wise choice for immediate financing. Many Indian households possess gold jewellery, and a significant portion of it remains unused. Therefore, utilising your gold as collateral for a loan can be a smart financing option during emergencies. Bajaj Finance offers the convenience of obtaining a quick gold loan ranging from Rs. 5,000 up to Rs. 2 crore against your 22-karat gold jewellery.

	What makes gold loan a smart choice for quick finance | Bajaj Finserv


	 


	Lets explore the benefits of choosing a gold loan for meeting your urgent financial crisis needs.


	 


	Quick approval and disbursal


	One of the primary reasons to consider a gold loan is the immediate access to funds. Unlike unsecured loans that often involve lengthy approval processes, documentation requirements, and credit checks, a gold loan provides a swift solution. By pledging your gold as collateral, lenders can quickly evaluate its value and disburse the loan amount, ensuring you receive the much-needed funds quickly.


	 


	No credit history or income proof required


	Traditional loans rely on credit scores to determine eligibility. However, gold loans are secured by the collateral, i.e., the gold itself. Even if you have a poor credit history or no credit score at all, you can still avail an instant gold loan. You also do not need a proof of income to avail of a gold loan.


	 


	Lower interest rates


	Compared to unsecured loans or credit cards, Bajaj Finance Gold Loan interest rates are typically lower. The interest rates on gold loans are determined based on the loan-to-value (LTV) ratio and market rates. As gold acts as collateral, lenders consider it a secure form of borrowing, thereby reducing the risk associated with the loan. You can easily avail of a gold loan from Bajaj Finance with interest rates starting at just 9.50% per annum.


	 


	High loan value


	Getting a significant amount of money at the last minute can be challenging and burdensome. However, using your idle gold to raise funds is much easier. Gold loans offer a high loan-to-value ratio, with Bajaj Finance offering loans for up to 75% of the golds market value. Bajaj Finance also offers a free online gold loan calculator, allowing you to determine the gold loan per gram rate. This helps you in evaluating the maximum loan amount based on the weight of your gold jewellery.


	 


	How to obtain an instant gold loan from Bajaj Finance


	If you are seeking immediate funds to fulfil your urgent needs, consider exploring Bajaj Finance Gold Loan. If you are an Indian citizen aged between 21 and 70 years, you can conveniently apply for the loan using your KYC documents. Typically, a voter ID card, Aadhaar Card, passport, or drivers licence is all that is required to secure the loan.


	 


	To apply for a gold loan, simply visit a nearby Bajaj Finance branch or choose the convenience of applying online through the Bajaj Finance website. Follow these easy steps to apply:


	
		
			Step 1: Visit the Gold Loan section of the website

<title>Bajaj Finance is Now Offering Higher FD Rates of Up to 8.60% p.a.</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-is-now-offering-higher-fd-rates-of-up-to-860-pa</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-is-now-offering-higher-fd-rates-of-up-to-860-pa</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	According to a survey by Kuvera, among 1.6 million of its investors, around 12% prefer to invest in fixed deposits. This is mainly due to this instrument&#039;s simplicity, familiarity, and protection against inflation. A popular financial institution, Bajaj Finance, with the highest credit rating of [ICRA]AAA(Stable) and CRISIL AAA/STABLE, is now offering FD rates of up to 8.60% p.a. Interested individuals can go through some of the benefits of booking FD with Bajaj Finance. 


	 


	What are the features and benefits of Bajaj Finance FD


	Below are some of the exclusive features of Bajaj Finance FDs that offer numerous benefits to investors:


	 


	
		
			Flexibility of payout option: Investors have the flexibility to choose their preferred frequency of receiving the interest payout. They can go for monthly payout options if they are looking for just an extra source of income. Alternatively, they can opt for quarterly, half-yearly, or even yearly payouts in case they need a bulk amount.  
	
	
		
			Higher rates for special tenures: To increase the returns of investors from FD, Bajaj Finance offers one of the best FD rates for special tenures. These special tenures are 15, 18, 22, 30, 33 and 44 months. Also, they offer a 0.25% p.a. higher FD interest rate for senior citizens. Keeping in mind their increased need for money due to lack of a fixed monthly income.
	
	
		
			Availability of loan against FDs: Investors in urgent need of funds can go for a loan against their FDs. If they have a cumulative deposit account, Bajaj Finance allows a credit of 75% of the deposited sum. However, depositors can get a credit of 60% of the invested amount in case they have a non-cumulative deposit account.
	
	
		
			Guaranteed safety of deposits: Bajaj Finance has a safety rating of [ICRA]AAA(Stable) and CRISIL AAA/STABLE. It encourages investors to park their funds with them. Furthermore, they can also be sure of receiving their interest payouts on time and fulfilling their financial goals at the expected tenure.
	



	 


	How can investors increase their returns from FD investments


	There are several factors that investors can optimise to increase their returns from investments. These include:


	
		
			Opting for a long-term investment: If an investor selects a tenure of 14 months, they can get returns of up to 7.40% p.a. On the contrary, choosing an FD duration of 15 months will allow them to receive interest rates of up to 7.50% p.a. To optimise the tenure for maximum returns you can use the FD calculator.
	
	
		
			Selecting special FD tenures: Choosing special tenures instead of the normal ones allows investors to receive a higher interest rate. For instance, the FD rate for 30 months, which is a special tenure, is 7.45%. Whereas investors will have a lower interest rate of 7.35% on choosing a 31-month duration.
	
	
		
			Choosing the right investor profile: Since Bajaj Finance offers higher interest rates to senior citizens, individuals can book an FD account in the name of their parents. This allows them to get access to increased returns.
	
	
		
			Going for cumulative payout option: Investors can go for the cumulative payout option to receive the interest at the end of the maturity period, instead of monthly, quarterly, or half-yearly payouts. This ensures that they earn more returns from FD investments. Individuals can use a Bajaj Finance FD Calculator to determine their returns and accordingly select the right payout mode.
	



	 


	Here is a table that reflects the difference in interest rates on select cumulative and non-cumulative payouts.


	
		
			
				
					Tenure
			
			
				
					Interest rate for monthly payout 
			
			
				
					Interest rate at maturity
			
		
		
			
				
					14 months
			
			
				
					7.16%
			
			
				
					7.40%
			
		
		
			
				
					15* months
			
			
				
					7.21%
			
			
				
					7.45%
			
		
	



	Note: The tenure marked with (*) is a special tenure


	 


	Why is fixed deposit a popular investment option for investors


	FD happens to be a popular investment option for people with a low-risk appetite. It offers stable returns on investment as it is not associated with market fluctuations. The consistency in FD rates throughout its tenure allows investors to predict their returns and plan their finances accordingly.


	 


	Another benefit of FDs is that it allows investors to deposit as low as Rs.15,000 to start their investment journey. Thus, young investors who are new to the job market can also deposit in this option. Also, the steps to open FDs at Bajaj Finance are simple and can be done in just a few clicks without any need for assistance.


	 


	Investors can choose tenures between 12 and 60 months based on the FD rates associated to increase their returns. Furthermore, they can manage their FD accounts as well as download  ]]></description>

<title>Netrack Secures the Data Center with Intelligent Monitoring</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/netrack-secures-the-data-center-with-intelligent-monitoring</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/netrack-secures-the-data-center-with-intelligent-monitoring</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Advanced technologies enhanced the scope of intelligent monitoring in data centers. It can provide real-time insights into critical systems and infrastructure, proactively identify potential issues, and help prevent downtime and data loss.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Netrack - Creating a Secured Data Center with Intelligent Monitoring


	 


	List of things that need monitoring


	Several essential things need to be monitored in a data center to ensure its optimal performance and uptime.


	
		
			Under Cooling can lead to creation of Hot Spots there by damaging the equipment and lead to increased downtime; hence, the temperature inside the data center needs to be monitored to ensure that it remains within a safe range.
	
	
		
			High humidity can cause condensation to form on the equipment, which can damage it. Hence Humidity has to be monitored regularly.
	
	
		
			The data centers security, including access control, surveillance, and intrusion detection systems, must be monitored regularly.
	
	
		
			Intelligent locking in data centers requires real-time monitoring, access control logs, video surveillance, regular audits, and physical security measures to prevent security breaches and protect sensitive data.
	
	
		
			Data centers should have smoke, rodent, and fire detection systems installed, which should be monitored continuously for early detection of smoke, fire, or any damage due to rodents and automatic triggering of suppression systems to minimize damage.
	
	
		
			Video surveillance systems are essential in data centers to monitor critical areas for unauthorized access, security breaches, and suspicious activity.
	



	 


	Legacy monitoring methods


	Conventional methods are still used in a few places to monitor the data centers manually. It includes manually opening the lock, managing the power surges, physical walkthroughs to check equipment and environmental conditions, visual inspections of systems and infrastructure, and manual recording of readings and other data for review and analysis. For example, under the conventional method, if there is a fire outbreak or a rodent attack, one needs to manually identify the area of damage to fix it. Intelligent monitoring is a solution to overcome such hassle.


	 


	Need for intelligent locking systems


	On the other hand, intelligent locking systems are increasingly used in data centers to enhance security. These systems typically use advanced technologies such as biometric authentication, access control lists, and activity logs to ensure that only an authorized person is allowed entry to sensitive areas of the data center.


	 


	Netrack understands the need of the hour; hence, it designed ilock as an intelligent locking monitoring solution to enhance the security of data centers. In addition, it features biometric authentication, access control lists, and activity logs, which provide real-time monitoring and alerts in the event of unauthorized access attempts.


	 


	The ilock system also integrates with Netracks environmental monitoring systems to provide a comprehensive view of the data centers security and environmental conditions. Overall, ilock can help prevent security breaches and protect sensitive data, making it a valuable addition to any data centers security strategy.


	 


	Role of intelligent PDUs


	In the context of intelligent monitoring, an intelligent PDU can provide real-time information on power usage, temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions, which can be used to optimize energy efficiency, prevent downtime, and improve the overall health of the IT infrastructure.


	 


	Intelligent PDUs can be integrated with other monitoring systems in the data center, such as environmental sensors, security systems, and network monitoring tools, to provide a comprehensive view of the data centers performance and health. By using intelligent PDUs as part of an intelligent monitoring strategy, data center operators can proactively identify potential issues, optimize performance, and improve the overall reliability and efficiency of the data center.


	 


	Importance of DCIM


	Here the importance of Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) cannot be denied. One of the critical benefits of DCIM software is that it allows all monitoring parameters, including power usage, temperature, humidity, and security, to be consolidated into a single dashboard. This can provide data center operators with a comprehensive view making it easier to identify potential issues, optimize performance, and make informed decisions about future upgrades and expansions.


	 


	DCIM software can also automate routine monitoring tasks, such as tracking inventory and generating reports, freeing up staff time for more complex tasks. In addition, DCIM software can provide predictive analytics, using historical data to forecast f ]]></description>

<title>Bajaj Finance Offers Quick Financing Solutions with Instant Gold Loans Starting from Rs. 5,000</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-offers-quick-financing-solutions-with-instant-gold-loans-starting-from-rs-5000</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-offers-quick-financing-solutions-with-instant-gold-loans-starting-from-rs-5000</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Gold, a symbol of wealth and value, has played a crucial role in helping people meet their financial needs throughout history. Bajaj Finance Gold Loans, with their user-friendly features, present a quick and easy solution for a wide range of personal and professional requirements. Whether its funding a new business venture, managing educational expenses, navigating unexpected medical emergencies, or meeting diverse financial requirements, gold loans have emerged as a reliable lifeline for individuals seeking swift and hassle-free support.
	
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan
	 


	What sets Bajaj Finance Gold Loans apart is the simplicity and convenience of the application process. Through a user-friendly online platform, individuals can apply for the loan from the comfort of their homes or offices, saving time and effort. Borrowers can get gold loans starting from Rs. 5,000 and going up to Rs. 2 crore, with gold loan interest rates as low as 9.50% per annum.
	 


	


	What makes gold loan a smart choice for quick finance | Bajaj Finserv


	
	Video Url: www.youtube.com/watchv=rMmKNPKG5ns
	
	Heres a closer look at the attractive benefits that makes gold loan an effective financing tool.
	 


	Multiple repayment options and high loan amount 


	Bajaj Finance offers multiple repayment options to repay the gold loan. Borrowers can decide when and how to repay it. For instance, they can choose to pay the full interest amount at the beginning of the loan term and then clear the remaining principal at the end. Alternatively, they can make interest payments on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly basis. Moreover, with a Bajaj Finance Gold Loan, borrowers can get a loan amount of up to 75% of the estimated weight of the pledged gold jewellery.
	 


	Low interest rate 


	One big advantage of getting a gold loan is that the interest rates are usually lower compared to loans, like personal loans. This is because when borrowers apply for a gold loan, they pledge their gold as security, which reduces the risk for the lender. Because of this, they can offer lower interest rates. For example, Bajaj Finance Gold Loan interest rates start from 9.50% per year, making it a good choice for borrowing funds. Borrowers can use the online gold loan calculator provided by Bajaj Finance to easily estimate how much interest they will have to pay based on the weight of their gold jewellery or the loan amount.
	 


	No need for a good credit score


	Another great thing about gold loans is that borrowers can get them even if they have a low CIBIL score or no credit history. This is because the loan is secured by physical gold jewellery, which acts as collateral. To be eligible for the loan, borrowers just need to have jewellery made of 22-karat gold.
	 


	Minimal paperwork and quick processing


	Applying for loans can be a hassle because of the extensive documentation required, such as salary history, income proof, and tax records. However, gold loans require only basic KYC (Know Your Customer) details, which makes the documentation process much easier.
	 


	Bajaj Finance follows a simple documentation process involving KYC verification. Borrowers only need to submit one of the following KYC documents: Aadhaar Card, voter ID card, passport, or driving licence. Unlike other loans, there is no need to provide income proof documents.
	 


	Though it is important to note that people borrowing more than 5 lakh must provide their PAN card details.
	 


	Quick and easy processing


	Gold loans are processed quickly because they require minimal documentation and no extensive eligibility checks. Any Indian citizen between 21 and 70 years old can easily apply for a gold loan. Bajaj Finance offers two convenient options to apply for a gold loan. You can either visit a nearby branch of Bajaj Finance and apply in person, or you can apply online from the comfort of your own home by following a few easy steps on the Bajaj Finance website.
	 


	To apply online, you need to:


	
		
			Go to the Bajaj Finance Gold Loan page.
	
	
		
			Open the online application form.
	
	
		
			Fill in your first and last name as it appears on your PAN card.
	
	
		
			Enter your 10-digit mobile number and select your city.
	
	
		
			Enter the OTP (One-Time Password) sent to your mobile number and submit the application.
	



	Once you submit the online application, a representative from Bajaj Finance will help you schedule an appointment at your preferred gold loan branch. With more than 800 branches across India, Bajaj Finance ensures quick and easy loan processing, making sure you have a convenient experience.
	 


	To get a gold loan today, simply visit the Bajaj Finance website.


	 


	*Terms and conditions apply.

<title>Resilient Supply Chains: Driving Automotive Industry Growth through Sustainable Practices and Risk Management</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			With the ongoing transition towards electrified vehicle (EV) ecosystem, automotive tier one suppliers hold a crucial position
	
	
		
			As the torchbearers of change across the value chain, these suppliers play a pivotal role in enabling the cohesive growth of the overall industry
	



	 


	While evident progress is underway, over the past few years, the industry has successfully tackled formidable challenges, including disruptions in the supply chain, semiconductor crises, fluctuations in raw material prices and inbound/ outbound logistics overseas. Tier one automotive suppliers have demonstrated remarkable resilience by effectively meeting customer demand and capitalizing on growth opportunities.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Supply chain must adapt to evolving sector realities


	 


	As original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) recognize the necessity for innovation, the responsibility to develop new technologies permeates throughout the entire automotive supply chain. In order to not only survive but also thrive in this dynamic environment, all stakeholders within the automotive supply chain must proactively adapt to the evolving sector realities. To this end, several important factors will play a crucial role in determining their success.


	 


	Empowering the whole ecosystem of manufacturing


	Lower-tier suppliers are critically important to the overall functioning of a supply chain. Disruptions at their level can quickly propagate throughout the value chain, causing disturbances. Ensuring visibility beyond tier one has become a crucial requirement for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) due to hidden risks to the supply and brand. Additionally, legal and sustainability compliance necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the lower tiers.


	 


	Interestingly, tier one suppliers have the opportunity to play a critical role in driving sub-tier visibility and empowering the entire vehicle manufacturing ecosystem. Technology will be the key enabler in this transformation. The digitalization of the supply chain holds immense potential to provide valuable insights into the intricate structure of automotive networks, the status of value chain participants and the nature of flows between them. In the long run, the traditional linear supply chain structure could gradually evolve into a more circular model, with the finished vehicle at the center and all value chain participants surrounding it. This shift promises to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and sustainability throughout the automotive industry.


	 


	Trainings will improve the quality of overall product


	OEMs rely heavily on suppliers because of their ability to produce and package both the hardware and software solutions required by the OEMs on a mass production scale. Ensuring quality control throughout the supply chain, from OEMs to suppliers, becomes vital to deliver the best products to the market. Automakers have progressively strengthened their control measures over tier one suppliers, who in turn assess and manage their relationships with raw material and machinery suppliers. This collaborative approach fosters enduring partnerships that prioritize quality, enabling OEMs to meet their stringent standards and deliver superior products to customers.


	 


	Tier one suppliers have the ability to establish dedicated supplier quality and development teams, responsible for conducting audits, identifying critical issues, and devising strategies to address weaknesses within their supplier network. They can offer courses, coaching, organise various cluster programs and workshops to enhance the skills of their suppliers, enabling them to overcome challenges effectively. Through training initiatives, suppliers can not only bridge skill gaps but also gain a deeper understanding of customer needs.


	 


	For tier one suppliers, maintaining stringent quality control standards among lower-tier suppliers and investing in the skills of workers are key measures to balance the pressure of meeting demand while ensuring and even enhancing product quality. By proactively engaging in supplier development and empowering the supply chain ecosystem, tier one suppliers can foster resilience, improve overall quality leading to zero defect and meet the ever-evolving demands of the market on a sustainable basis.


	 


	Supply chain: One of the most effective starting point for sustainability


	Meeting the climate targets poses major challenges for the automobile industry. Large sections of the industry have thus recognized that supply chain is an effective starting point towards a more sustainable business. Greater focus from the government, media, capital markets and the OEMs, have made sustainability increasingly relevant for suppliers as well. Many suppliers over the globe have understood this, and have defined sustainability targets.


	 


	Tier one sup ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	In a recent report by Knight Frank, a renowned global real estate consultancy firm, it has been projected that the number of Indias ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) with a net worth over $30 million will experience a significant rise of 58.4% over the next five years. This surge in wealthy individuals presents a promising opportunity for real estate developers, particularly those specialising in luxury residential and commercial projects.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Illustrative image depicting the expanding real estate sector in India


	 


	The Delhi-NCR region is poised to witness a surge in real estate transactions and investments as a result of this trend. Delhi-NCR, one of Indias prime metropolitan regions, is expected to be at the forefront of the real estate boom. The area boasts a vibrant economy, robust infrastructure, and a high concentration of UHNWIs. With the projected increase in their numbers, the region is likely to witness a surge in real estate investments in the residential and commercial sectors.


	 


	Mr. Manoj Gaur, CMD, Gaurs Group, said, &quot;The projected rise in Indias ultra-high-net-worth individuals presents an exciting opportunity for luxury real estate. We are thrilled to be part of this growth story. Our focus is on delivering meticulously designed projects that epitomise luxury and sophistication. We aim to create residences and commercial spaces that are not just opulent but also sustainable and in harmony with the evolving lifestyle preferences of our discerning clientele. Our recently launched uber luxury project, The Islands by Gaurs has seen tremendous response so much so that we have sold close to 75% inventory in 8 months of its inception. The project features expansive 4 &amp; 5 BHK apartments ranging from 3700 sq. ft. to 12000 sq. ft.&quot;


	 


	&quot;As the real estate landscape evolves, we constantly recognise the need to push the boundaries of excellence. We are dedicated to creating iconic projects that redefine luxury living and working spaces. We strive to surpass the expectations of our esteemed clientele by integrating innovative design, state-of-the-art technology, and sustainable practices. With the anticipated surge in UHNWIs, we are excited to contribute to the growth of the real estate market in Delhi-NCR, offering unparalleled quality and exclusivity. Gulshan One29 is one such project through which we aim to offer premium commercial spaces to investors,&quot; said Mr. Deepak Kapoor, Director, Gulshan Group.
	
	&quot;We are aware of the need to push the boundaries of quality as the real estate market changes. We are committed to developing enduring projects reimagining opulent living and working environments. By combining cutting-edge technology, environmental practices, and inventive design, we want to go above and beyond the expectations of our prestigious customers. We are thrilled to contribute to expanding the Delhi-NCR real estate industry by providing unmatched quality and exclusivity with the anticipated spike in UHNWIs,&quot; said Mr. Amit Jain, Director, Mahagun Group.


	 


	The report highlights the increasing affluence of Indias elite class, driving the demand for exclusive and high-end properties. This growth will also lead to the availability of sound investment opportunities for such individuals in the form of luxury projects. Luxury real estate developers are poised to benefit from this trend as UHNWIs seek to invest their wealth in projects that offer exceptional design, amenities, and premium locations. These developers are well-positioned to cater to affluent buyers discerning tastes and preferences, offering customised and opulent living and working spaces.


	 


	Real estate developers in Delhi-NCR are keenly aware of the immense opportunities that lie ahead. They are committed to delivering exceptional quality projects that cater to the needs and aspirations of the affluent class. These developers understand the importance of providing world-class amenities, cutting-edge technology, and sustainable design in their luxury projects. They aim to create spaces that offer comfort and exclusivity and contribute positively to the environment and community.


	 


	Amit Modi, Director County Group &amp; President Credai (WUP), said, &quot;The expected increase in Indias ultra-high net worth individuals offers luxury real estate developers an opportunity to develop projects in the premium segment. Though this section of society remains unaffected by economic fluctuations, high-end real estate is one of the safest segments to invest in segments to beat the volatility in the market. We aim to deliver ultra-luxury projects that can be touched, felt and used anytime after delivering and exemplify elegance and sophistication. We aim to deliver them on time and develop projects that stand out in their respective segments. Our goal is to design luxurious homes and commercial buildings that are also sustainable and ]]></description>

<title>Foreign Exchange Industry Calls for Clarity on Proposed 20 percent TCS: Seeks Parity with Debit and Credit Cards</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/foreign-exchange-industry-calls-for-clarity-on-proposed-20-percent-tcs-seeks-parity-with-debit-and-credit-cards</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/foreign-exchange-industry-calls-for-clarity-on-proposed-20-percent-tcs-seeks-parity-with-debit-and-credit-cards</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	The foreign exchange Industry has expressed serious concerns about the applicability of 20% Tax Collection at Source (TCS) under the Liberalized Remittance Scheme (LRS) effective from July 1, 2023. On 19th May, 2023, Ministry of Finance clarified that transactions conducted overseas using debit and credit cards would be exempted from TCS up to a small value of Rs. 7 lacs per financial year. However, there was no specific clarification provided regarding small value transactions involving Foreign Currency Cash, Wire Transfers through Banks, Prepaid Forex Cards, and other International payment options widely used by individuals during overseas trips for leisure or employment. The All India Association of Authorized Money Changers &amp; Money Transfer Agents have submitted a representation to the finance ministry regarding the aforementioned concerns.


	 


	Bhaskar Rao P, General Secretary of The All India Association of Authorised Money Changers &amp; Money Transfer Agents, said, &quot;The money exchange industry expects the government to ensure a level playing field for all overseas transactions with small values of Rs. 7 lakhs, regardless of the instrument used. Common people utilize foreign currency cash (up to the maximum of USD 3000), prepaid Forex Travel Cards, and wire transfers, while the upper class uses international debit and credit cards.&quot;
	 


	According to the immigration data published by DGCA, more than 60 percent of overseas travelers are first time flyers. These people are from the economically weaker section from the bottom of the pyramid who are less educated, who do not hold debit or credit cards and hence deserve parity with the debit and credit card holders. The notification will directly impact individuals travelling abroad for employment especially the labour/working class, who generally belong to the low-income group and are ineligible for credit cards. These travelers generally procure foreign exchange in the form of cash or prepaid card from money exchange outlets operating at international airports or city outlets. The imposition of 20% TCS will have a major impact on them as they do not fall under the income tax bracket.


	 


	With the relaxation given for Credit and Debit cards, the upper middle class &amp; rich customers will be able to avoid paying TCS up to Rs. 7 lacs per credit card/ debit card in their possession. At the same time lower middle-class customers, housewives, and senior citizens who avail foreign exchange by paying from their account will be subject to a 20% TCS. This will prove extremely detrimental to these customers, who may have no requirement to file taxes and this will significantly compromise the business viability of licensed Money changers in India. The industry expects the Ministry/Government to provide further clarification that the exemption of TCS up to Rs. 7 lacs per annum also applies to cash forex purchases, wire transfers, and prepaid forex cards.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	A fixed deposit is a safe choice when it comes to investing one&#039;s savings. This financial tool has been a preferred choice for many investors for quite some time now. Given the recent repo rate changes and economic situation, countrywide the interest rates have seen successive hikes in the last year making it a great time to invest in this instrument.
	 


	By investing at the right time, and for a longer tenure, investor can increase their chances of getting better yields. Individuals can also estimate their returns even before choosing to invest in an FD by using the online FD calculator. This tool can help investors tweak and optimise their initially chosen deposit amount and tenure based on estimated returns. Thus, helping them align their investments to their goals by maximising returns based on desired results.
	 


	Among a plethora of FD options available in the market, the Bajaj Finance FD stands out as the best. Investors get high FD rates, flexible tenures, loan against FD facility and unparalleled safety of deposit all this just from a click of a button. Once investors lock in on the financier, they need to understand ways to maximise returns and stick to that plan to make the most of their investments. 
	 


	Here is how to use the Bajaj Finance online FD calculator effectively to ensure maximum returns:


	Step 1: Go to the official Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit website.
	 


	Step 2: Choose the investor profile.


	The FD rates differ based on investors&#039; age. Investors above 60 years of age earn additional rate benefit of up to 0.25% p.a. on the base rates.
	 


	Step 3: Decide the initial deposit amount.


	This is a crucial step as it will determine the returns at maturity. To decide the deposit amount, one should consider their income, living expenses, financial goals, and liquidity requirements.
	 


	Step 4: Determine the tenure.


	This is another crucial step. Longer tenures are recommended as one can earn more with the power of compounding resulting in higher yields. Bajaj Finance offers flexible tenures from 12-60 months. They also offer 6 special tenures (15, 18, 22, 30, 33 and 44 months) that have higher FD rates.
	 


	Step 5: Check the applicable interest rates.


	After plugging in the above-mentioned details, the applicable FD rates will appear on the screen.
	 


	Step 6: Determine the type of fixed deposit.


	Bajaj Finance offers two types of fixed deposits - cumulative and non-cumulative. In cumulative fixed deposits, the interest is compounded annually and paid at maturity. In non-cumulative fixed deposits, the interest is paid out periodically (monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually).
	 


	Step 7: Calculate the maturity amount.


	After putting in the above-mentioned details, the online calculator will display the interest rate, the total interest earned and the maturity amount.
	 


	Step 8: Adjust variable components to get desired maturity amount.
	 


	To check what combination gives maximum returns, investors can play around with the variable components like the tenure, and deposit amount. This can help in making the right investment decisions in real-time.
	 


	Now that investors have this information, they can use an FD calculator to see how much they can earn. This will help them make a more informed decision about where to invest their money.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Learn why regularly monitoring your credit score is key to your financial success and how Bajaj Finserv can help you stay ahead of the game.
	 


	Keeping an eye on your CIBIL Score is essential for your financial well-being. But what is your CIBIL Score In simple terms, this three-digit number is like a grade that lenders use to evaluate your creditworthiness. The higher your score, the more responsible you appear - much like a higher GPA reflects your academic prowess, a higher CIBIL score indicates your financial prowess. Your CIBIL Score is calculated based on diverse factors, including your payment behaviour, credit utilisation, and length of credit history. An ideal score of around 750+ can ensure greater chances of approval for your credit applications and snag your more favourable terms as well.

<title>BetterPlace Forays into Financial Services, Launches BetterPlace Money to Make 10mn Global Frontline Workers Credit Worthy</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/betterplace-forays-into-financial-services-launches-betterplace-money-to-make-10mn-global-frontline-workers-credit-worthy</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/betterplace-forays-into-financial-services-launches-betterplace-money-to-make-10mn-global-frontline-workers-credit-worthy</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	With less than 20% of the labor force in India and South East Asia having access to formal credit, BetterPlace, Asia&#039;s largest frontline workforce management SaaS platform, has announced its foray into the financial services sector with the launch of BetterPlace Money. With this comprehensive suite of financial services and offerings, BetterPlace Money aims to make more than 10mn global frontline workers credit worthy by 2025. At the onset, BetterPlace Money will enable enterprises to provide short-term loans for their frontline workers via its SaaS platform. The vertical will benefit more than 4 million workers immediately and will expand to serve BetterPlace&#039;s frontline workforce base across APAC and GCC in the next few months.


	 


	India, APAC, and GCC has more than 450mn frontline workers contributing more than 20% to the country&#039;s GDP on an average. However, they are the most underserved cohort when it comes to access to formal financial services. In India alone, only 1 in 10 frontline workers have access to formal credit. Despite this being a large addressable market, formal financial institutions find it difficult to service this segment because of a lack of credit assessment data, distribution channels, and high cost of servicing.


	 


	BetterPlace Money aims to solve these problems by leveraging the data and distribution strength of BetterPlace&#039;s full-stack platform. With more than 4mn workers already reaping benefits from the platform every year, BetterPlace Money will enable frontline workers to get easy access to short-term loans at low interest rates, in a simple and hassle-free manner. Moreover, with customizable repayment plans which include EMI and installment plans that suit their needs, borrowers will be able to build and manage a healthy credit score and therefore be eligible to access formal sources of credit and benefits.


	 


	Pravin Agarawala, Group CEO &amp; Co-founder at BetterPlace said, &quot;Credit to frontline workers is a $70bn opportunity in India, APAC, and GCC and yet there are no significant players tapping into this market segment. While lack of reliable data and high cost of servicing this segment has prohibited the supply of credit, lack of financial awareness among frontline workers has also restricted the demand. Most frontline workers in our side of the world still rely on informal sources of finance which is not only unsustainable but also puts them in a debt trap placing them just a nudge away from poverty. Having successfully formalized a large chunk of the informal frontline workforce with the power of technology, using our data and distribution strengths to provide access to credit to this segment was a natural progression. We believe that BetterPlace Money has the potential to become the single largest player to provide meaningful and affordable access to credit to the frontline workers around the world and complete the circle of creating a better place for them and their wellbeing.&quot;


	 


	BetterPlace Money is being spearheaded by Saurav Gandhi who would lead the efforts in building the new tech-first offering. With over 12 years of experience in the financial sector across firms like PayU, Saurav will bring his expertise to continue simplifying access to various financial products and services including short term loans and early wage access.


	 


	&quot;Access to credit in India is facing a dual problem. It is hard to underwrite a formal loan to the underserved segment while at the same time it is only accessible to a small portion of the population. Only 10 percent of the formal credit (mostly secured) goes to 45 percent households of India. To solve this dual problem, we are partnering with quality employers to fulfill the mission of ensuring a win-win arrangement for the workers and the employer&quot;, said Saurav Gandhi. 


	 


	BetterPlace Money aims to partner with banks and NBFCs in the next 2 years to expand its product offerings to include early wage access, micro insurance and micro investments.

Borrowers can utilise their 22-karat gold jewellery to secure loans starting from Rs. 5,000 and going up to Rs. 2 crore.

One option is to pay the entire interest amount at the start of the loan tenure and settle the remaining principal at the end. They can also opt to pay the interest either monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually.


	
	Transparent evaluation 


	Bajaj Finance uses top-of-the-line karat metre to ensure the borrowers receive maximum value for their gold.

<title>Tide and Transcorp Launch India&amp;apos;s&#45;first Recycled PVC RuPay Card</title>

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/tide-and-transcorp-launch-indias-first-recycled-pvc-rupay-card</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Tide, the UKs leading SME-focused business financial platform in partnership with Transcorp International Limited, a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) regulated Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) license holder, today announced the launch of Indias first recycled (rPVC[1]) Rupay card, along with MCT Cards &amp; Technology Pvt. Ltd. and NPCI (National Payments Corporation of India). 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Tide and Transcorp launch Indias first-ever recycled PVC card in association with NPCI, manufactured indigenously by MCT Cards and Technology Pvt. Ltd.


	 


	The move reinforces Tide&#039;s commitment to becoming a more sustainable company, including its pledge to make reaching Net Zero simpler for its members (customers) in India, and globally. Made from 99% recycled plastic, this is the first such move by a fintech company in India. Each rPVC card will save 7g of carbon and save 3.18g of plastic, which would ordinarily be used in the production of a new card made with virgin PVC.


	 


	The cards will go through an open loop recycling process, which means that old products are transformed into new ones, reducing industrial plastic waste. The material used for production of Tide rPVC cards is approved by global testing agencies including market leader Intertek, and is also compliant with GRS 4.0 (Global recycled standard). All the cards are tested for parameters like Ink Adhesion/Wrappage/Bending/Stress Test and are compliant with ISO standards, they also undergo a CIPET[2] certification. The cards will carry the sustainability badge on the reverse side, educating the customer that the card is made of recycled plastic.


	 


	In March, Tide became the first fintech in the world to remove 100% of its emissions with durable carbon removals as of 2022 onwards. The business has also committed to becoming fully NetZero by 2030 and to support its UK members (more than 9% of UK SMEs), and growing network of Indian SMEs on their journey to NetZero.


	 


	To deal with the devastating impacts of climate change, Tide made three pledges:


	Pledge 1: Tide Removal NetZero - Tide commits to removing 100% of our emissions with durable carbon removal from 2022 onwards.


	 


	Pledge 2: Tide Reduction NetZero - Tide will reduce 90% of our 2021 emissions per employee by 2030. In doing so, we will reduce emissions by 97% on a revenue basis. Pledges 1 and 2 will make Tide fully Net Zero by 2030.


	 


	Pledge 3: Tide Member NetZero - Tide commits to making Net Zero simpler for our Members by developing support for them to get to NetZero.


	 


	Tide and Transcorp, along with MCT and NPCI will embark on this industry-first initiative as part of an India-wide and global shift away from virgin plastic and accelerating commitments towards reducing carbon emissions.


	 


	Gurjodhpal Singh, CEO, Tide (India) said, &quot;At Tide, we believe that businesses need to take action now on climate change. With our industry-first move, we are taking further action to curtail the spiralling effects of greenhouse gases on the Earth&#039;s atmosphere. Tide&#039;s third of three NetZero pledges committed to helping our 550,000 members worldwide kickstart their own journey to NetZero by introducing products, features and content to help them. The rPVC card is one such initiative. Tide is committed to ensuring our members in India benefit from the launch of this new card.&quot;


	 


	Ayan Agarwal, CEO, Payment Systems, Transcorp International Ltd., said, &quot;Transcorp remains committed to implement the goals of not only our partners, but also to bolster the vision of the Government (COP26 Summit at Glasgow) and Reserve Bank of India (Report on Climate Risk &amp; Sustainable Finance) of achieving net zero emissions in India. Continuing the streak of first in market innovations - Transcorp has once again aligned stakeholders from across the industry to launch recycled plastic cards in record time! In our mission to build compliant and curated products with our fintech partners, we are pleased to also contribute towards an ecological economy.&quot;


	 


	Girish Kini, CEO &amp; SBU Head - Cards &amp; Secure Solutions, MCT Cards and Technology Pvt. Ltd., said, &quot;As one of India&#039;s largest card manufacturing bureau, we at MCT cards &amp; technology recognise the critical role we play in promoting sustainable practices and protecting the environment. There is a lot of interest in environment friendly cards &amp; we are proud to offer our clients a range of eco-friendly cards that offer several benefits and make a positive impact on the environment.&quot;


	 


	rPVC cards are very similar to standard PVC cards in how they look. The rPVC is made by recycling PVC waste, reducing the amount of landfill contributed by a standard PVC card which does not decompose. These cards are made from recycling consumer/industrial PVC waste and putting this through an open loop mechanical recycling process. rPVC cards significantly ]]></description>

<title>Stack Identity Completes the AWS Foundational Technical Review and is now an AWS Validated Partner</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/stack-identity-completes-the-aws-foundational-technical-review-and-is-now-an-aws-validated-partner</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/stack-identity-completes-the-aws-foundational-technical-review-and-is-now-an-aws-validated-partner</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Stack Identity, a Silicon Valley startup automating identity and access management (IAM) governance to identify and eliminate cloud data threat vectors, today announced it has achieved validated partner status as part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN). 


	 


	Cloud data processed and stored by cloud services systems such as Amazon S3, Snowflake, and other SaaS offerings all require identity and access permissions to control access to data. However, there are a myriad of human and machine identities with dynamically changing access permissions creating toxic combinations of shadow access - unauthorized, unmonitored and invisible access to cloud resources.


	 


	&quot;Stack Identity is pleased to partner with AWS to offer customers a more effective and efficient way of securing cloud data and preventing data breaches caused by &#039;Shadow Access,&quot; said Venkat Raghavan, Founder and CEO of Stack Identity. &quot;Cloud automation creates large-scale identity and access control problems, breaking down all existing cloud posture and IAM governance processes. This enables attackers to weaponize shadow access to exfiltrate and ransom cloud data.&quot;


	 


	&quot;We are excited to announce that we are now an AWS Validated Partner. This means we have passed the AWS Foundational Technical Review and that the Stack Identity solution has followed AWS well architected best practices,&quot; said Stuart Horne, Head of Strategic Alliances. &quot;Cloud security is complex and requires an integrated approach to identity and access control. In fact, AWS alone has over 13,000 API connections with 14,000 permissions to access its cloud data and services. We are excited to help every AWS customer address this significant, emerging threat of Shadow Access.&quot;


	 


	AWS customers benefit from Stack Identity&#039;s ability to detect and eliminate Shadow Access through its live data attack map and patent-pending breach prediction index (BPI). Having passed the AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR) AWS customers can be rest assured that the Stack Identity solution is secure, reliable and recoverable in the event of any issues. 


	 


	The Stack Identity platform builds an IAM data lake and enables AWS customers with the following capabilities:


	
		
			Continuous monitoring and remediation of Shadow Access in public and data cloud environments
	
	
		
			Detection of the 2% of toxic combinations that impact 90% of data assets
	
	
		
			Ability to implement a risk-driven cloud security posture
	
	
		
			Prevent data exfiltration and ransomware attacks in the cloud
	
	
		
			Enforce automated Identity Governance
	



	 


	Learn more about how AWS customers can continuously monitor and remediate Shadow Access in public and data cloud environments with Stack Identity here: AWS BLOG Partner Announcement.


	 


	About Stack Identity
	Founded in the heart of Silicon Valley, Stack Identity transforms cloud IAM operations to continuously detect, eliminate and govern unauthorized, unmonitored and invisible shadow access. Through its patent-pending algorithm Breach Prediction Index (BPI), applied with deep data and application context, Stack Identity reveals the 2% of toxic access combinations that impacts 90% of data assets and enables cloud security teams to quickly prioritize and automate remediation.

<title>&amp;apos;A&#45;AI&amp;apos; Based MomGPT Took Over RISE&amp;apos;s Social Media During a Mother&amp;apos;s Day Campaign</title>

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/a-ai-based-momgpt-took-over-rises-social-media-during-a-mothers-day-campaign</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	This Mother&#039;s Day, Ed-tech Startup RISE&#039;s Social Media was taken over by &#039;A-AI&#039; based MomGPT, in a social media campaign. Just like everyone goes to their mothers with endless questions, MomGPT offered advice and answers to the questions from the audiences. MoMGPT was Live on the brand&#039;s Social media platforms Linkedin and Instagram from 12th May 2023 till Mother&#039;s Day on 14th May 2023. The campaign had an impressive 64.1% reach with over 1000 people engaged during the three days on both platforms.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	MomGPT on RISEs Social Media Channels


	 


	Conceptualised by Schbang, the campaign created a MomGPT identity with a logo resonating with the brand visuals and colours, and came up with a host of interesting creatives to prompt questions by the audience and give them a ChatGPT like UI experience on both the social media platforms.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	MomGPT on RISEs Social Media Channels


	 


	Commenting on the campaign, Kirtiga Iyer, Assistant Vice President for Brand stated, &quot;Our thought behind this campaign was simple. Today we have the internet, ChatGPT &amp; generative AI taking over the world, but still its our Mothers we all go to for life&#039;s most pressing problems. On this Mother&#039;s Day, we wanted to pay a tribute to all the mothers who are loving, caring but also very insightful and sassy. We are happy with the outcomes of the campaign which is unique and saw a very high interaction with our audience with people asking all types of questions, from how to avoid the Rishta talks with relatives to upskilling &amp; general life issues. MomGPT rose to the occasion &amp; helped people answer their pressing questions, in the most sassy mom style ever.&quot; 


	 


	During the campaign, many students and members in the audience came up with very genuine and interesting questions which MomGPT answered in a quintessential mother&#039;s tone through a series of stories and posts. To one question - &quot;I&#039;m thinking of taking up Hotel Management as a career, what do you think MomGPTI&quot;, MomGPT replied &quot;Helping out at home seems to be the end of the world for you, but Hotel Management seems like a good prospect&quot;. It was a fun time on the Social Media platforms of RISE as questions kept pouring in while MomGPT answered all questions with a bit of scoffing.


	 


	Since mothers always have an answer to their children&#039;s questions and problems, similarly MomGPT too welcomed all genres of questions aimed at her throughout the campaign and came up with quirky and unconventional responses to them like typical Indian mothers. From lighthearted sarcastic taunts on being lazy to caring advice on staying upskilled, MomGPT showcased the essence of the campaign that no matter however intelligent the AI might be, it can never compete with &#039;AAI&#039;.


	 


	About RISE


	Founded in April 2021, RISE has been set up with a mission to encourage and empower students across cities, strata, and societies to be socially and culturally aware leaders of the world. The start-up offers PG Programs in Business Analytics, Data Science, and AIML in collaboration with KPMG in India; PG Programs in FinTech and Finance &amp; Accounting with Grant Thornton; PG Program in Marketing Research with Aeon Research, endorsed by MRSI; and PG Program in Cybersecurity with Thrive DX SaaS.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Preparing for retirement is a crucial step in one&#039;s life. Having a proper financial plan can help one live their golden years stress-free. Since wealth generation takes time, one must start early and invest in a financial tool that provides a good yield. However, choosing a safe tool is necessary. One would not want to drain their life savings in a high-risk instrument at this stage in life.
	 


	A fixed deposit is a good investment option when looking to park one&#039;s lifelong savings. This tool is safe and provides guaranteed returns at maturity. Since it is a fixed-income instrument that locks in interest rates the day one books an FD, it is easy to predict the returns using an FD calculator. Banks and post offices offer FD but usually at lower interest rates. NBFCs on the other hand offer higher returns. Bajaj Finance one of India&#039;s leading and reliable NBFCs offers the higher senior citizen FD rates available in the market. They offer senior citizens additional rate benefits of up to 0.25% p.a. over and above base rates. Investors can get up to 8.60% p.a. on their deposits with Bajaj Finance. They have recently hiked their FD rates by up to 40 basis points making it a lucrative offer for senior citizens to earn great returns.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Bajaj Finance has revised its FD rates for specific tenures. You can now earn up to 40 basis points higher on your investments with Bajaj Finance with these revised interest rates. Bajaj Finance already offered one of the highest FD rates available in the investment market, and now with this interest rate hike, investors can earn even more on their deposits.


	 


	For the special tenure of 44 months, investors can yield returns at the rate of 8.60% p.a. which is a significantly higher return rate considering the average FD return rate. Making this an ideal time to invest in this fixed-income yet high-earning instrument.


	 


	Here are the current FD interest rates offered to senior citizens and customers aged below 60 for cumulative fixed deposit (w.e.f. May 10, 2023)


	 


	FD rates for regular tenure

	You can also use the online FD calculator to estimate your returns even before choosing to invest with Bajaj Finance FD. This calculator can help you understand how much you would need to invest and how long you would require to be invested to get the desired returns.


	 


	To get an idea of the prospective earnings let us have a look at an example where both a senior citizen and a citizen aged below 60 years invest Rs. 10 lakhs in a Bajaj Finance FD.


	 


	
		
			
				
					Investor profile 
			
			
				
					Tenure 
			
			
				
					The applicable rate of interest 
			
			
				
					Maturity amount 
			
		
		
			
				
					Senior citizen
			
			
				
					60 months
			
			
				
					8.30% p.a.
			
			
				
					Rs. 14,89,849
			
		
		
			
				
					Non-senior citizen
			
			
				
					60 months
			
			
				
					8.05% p.a.
			
			
				
					Rs. 14,72,732
			
		
		
			
				
					Senior citizen
			
			
				
					44 months
			
			
				
					8.60% p.a.
			
			
				
					Rs. 13,53,244
			
		
		
			
				
					Non-senior citizen
			
			
				
					44 months
			
			
				
					8.35% p.a.
			
			
				
					Rs. 13,41,856
			
		
	



	 


	As you can see, investing in a lump sum for a longer tenure can fetch good returns at maturity. However, if investing a large corpus in one go is not for you, then you need not postpone your investment plans till you save up a large pool. You can make small monthly investments and earn significant returns over a longer tenure. Bajaj Finance offers the Systematic Deposit Plan (SDP) an industry-first offering where you can start investing with amounts as small as Rs. 5000. You can save monthly and make these deposits. This works just like a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) sans the mutual fund market risk. Each deposit you make goes into a separate smaller FD, which either can be realised at maturity under the Single Maturity Scheme (SMS) or even payouts can be received monthly under the Monthly Maturity Scheme (MMS). You can choose your plan based on your liquidity requirements and financial aspirations.


	 


	You can invest in this FD in under 10 minutes via an entirely paperless and 100% online process. Investing in this FD now is an ideal move as you can easily earn more thanks to the interest rate hike.

	Instamojo, India&#039;s simplest all-in-one #D2CTech platform for businesses has recorded a 150% Y-o-Y growth to become EBITDA profitable in 2023. The company turned profitable within just two years after announcing its pivot, from being a payment links company to an all-in-one platform that takes care of everything that a business owner needs when selling their products and services online.

However, when business owners decide to go online, they do not have access to a one-stop solution that can help with virtually everything - from setting up their website, to managing their customers on a regular basis. This is where Instamojo comes in. This has proven to be a lucrative market for us in the last two years. With our new avatar as the #D2CTech enablement platform, we are not only championing the cause for every Indian business to go online, but also we remain deeply involved in making the process so intuitive that it becomes second nature. This philosophy has helped our business clock rapid strides of growth while at the same time helping us chart the discourse of a reimagined D2C boom in India.&quot;


	 


	Other stats depicting growth on the platform:


	
		
			Business enrolment numbers recorded a spike with maximum traction from Mumbai amongst the metros which saw a 746% jump (versus FY22),  and Kochi from non metros which recorded a 689% increase
	
	
		
			The top 10 Tier II and III towns contributing to business enrolments include: Indore, Guwahati, Ludhiana, Bhubaneswar, Surat, Coimbatore, Nagpur, Kochi, Bhopal, Siliguri
	
	
		
			On the other hand, the platform also saw a 15% growth in the number of consumers who have either bought products or availed services via Instamojo
	
	
		
			Markets contributing highest revenue: In order of ranking, Bengaluru stood first followed by Delhi/NCR and Mumbai
	
	
		
			In terms of D2C category growth on the Instamojo platform, Apparel &amp; Footwear grew by 203%, Arts &amp; Crafts grew by 148% while Food &amp; Grocery grew by 275%
	



	 


	About Instamojo
	It&#039;s 2023, we are not a payments&#039; gateway company.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The current economic scenario and repo rate revisions have made fixed deposits the perfect tool to invest in. Investors can get dual advantages from investing in this tool, the safety of their initial deposit, and the assurance of decent returns at maturity. These factors make it a highly preferred investment avenue. With multiple FD options available in the market, it can be hard to circle in on one. However, one must always keep certain pointers in mind while selecting their financial partner. A few of them include the credibility of the financial partner, FD rates, payout frequencies offered, and other special benefits.


	 


	Bajaj Finance is one such option that ticks off all the above-mentioned boxes. It is a highly reliable and reputed NBFC that offers one of the best FD rates available in the market along with a suite of other benefits like a loan against FD facility and online account management. Also, Bajaj Finance has recently revised its FD rates and hiked them by 40 basis points on selected tenures.


	 


	Earlier investors could earn up to 8.20% p.a. on their deposits when investing in an FD by Bajaj Finance. Now, they can yield returns up to 8.60% p.a. for special tenures. This can enable individuals to earn more on their investments.


	 


	Here are the revised higher FD rates (% p.a.)

	Investors can visit the Bajaj Finance website and use the online FD calculator to estimate their returns, even before investing. This feature also enables one to fine-tune their investments to their financial goals and desired results.


	 


	Apart from higher FD rates, investors can enjoy these additional features as well:


	 


	Flexible payout options 


	Investors can choose from cumulative and non-cumulative FD options. The cumulative FD is where one gets returns directly at maturity. With the non-cumulative FD option, one can choose the payout frequency to match their desired liquidity requirements. Investors can choose from monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and annual payout options.


	 


	Loan against FD facility 


	Emergencies call for an unwarranted free flow of cash and breaking the FD seems like the only option in such situations. However, with Bajaj Finance, one need not worry about liquid cash emergencies. Investors can withdraw their money whenever they need it within minutes in the form of a loan against their FD. Get a loan up to 75% of the FD amount without liquidating investments.


	 


	Safety and credibility 


	The safety of funds is a crucial parameter when investing in an FD, and Bajaj Finance is accredited with AAA STABLE ratings by ICRA and CRISIL, indicating the highest safety.


	 


	Online process 


	With this 100% online and paperless process, one can book an FD at any time without having to stand in long queues. Investors can book FDs from the comfort of their homes with minimal documentation.


	 


	Armed with this information, one can now invest in a Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit and enjoy higher returns on their deposits!

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Spice Money (subsidiary of DiGiSPICE Technologies), India&#039;s leading rural fintech that is revolutionizing the way Bharat banks, today announced its strategic partnership with Boston Consulting Group (BCG), a leading global consulting firm. By joining forces, Spice Money and BCG aim to cater to the needs of the underserved semi-urban and rural population by building a platform that caters to the digital and financial services needs of the citizens of rural India. In addition to the existing banking, financial and digital services being offered through an assisted model, this collaboration aims to build strategies based on the key asks and requirements of rural customers across various segments like savings, credit and commerce. It is a significant move towards accelerating the progress of emerging India and driving financial inclusion for the last mile.


	
	Sanjeev Kumar, Co-founder, Executive Director &amp; CEO of Spice Money, said, &quot;Spice Money was built on the foundation that India&#039;s rural economy has exponential opportunities for business and at the same time, it gave us a mission for a greater social cause. Our mission is to empower residents in India&#039;s hinterlands to bridge the financial and digital gap that exists between rural and urban India. Since the onset of the pandemic in 2020 to now, Spice Money has seen a 94% CAGR growth in its Gross Transaction Value. We aim to sustain this unprecedented growth, and therefore, want to capture current revenue pools by pushing operating leverage on the existing platform. At the same time we are looking to build on the rural market opportunities of today, which include credit and savings, while also investing in the disruptive revenue pools of tomorrow to address future rural customer demands. This is where we believe BCG can support Spice Money in the next phase of growth so that we can capture the rural market. BCG will work closely with us to identify the areas that require greater attention, keep up with the demand from rural and emerging India, as well as sharpen our business focus.&quot;


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Building financial and digital services platform for Bharat


	 


	India has witnessed remarkable growth in digital adoption owing to a significant push by the government towards financial inclusion initiatives backed by digital public infrastructure such as the Jan Dhan Yojana, Aadhaar, UPI along with the Digital India campaign, digital adoption by traditional financial institutions as well as the emergence of new age fintechs. These initiatives have been instrumental in bridging the gap between urban and rural India, bringing millions of underserved citizens into the formal banking system, and laying the foundation for an Atmanirbhar Bharat.


	
	Despite these advancements, a significant section of the population residing in remote areas still lacks access to basic necessities such as quality healthcare, education, credit, housing infrastructure, and agriculture. This partnership between Spice Money and Boston Consulting Group aims to leverage their collective expertise to address the unmet pressing and evolving hygiene needs of rural customers.


	
	With Spice Moneys deep-rooted understanding of the rural market and BCGs strategic insights, the partnership will help in building resilience and sustainable ecosystem for the growth of rural India. It will do so by focusing on serving the urgent needs of rural customers, creating nanoprenuers, boosting local businesses and industries, thereby bringing them to the digital rail. The partnership builds upon the governments digital infrastructure initiatives to fuel the countrys growth and contribute towards the government&#039;s vision of a $5 trillion economy.


	
	Spice Money has already made significant strides towards its goal by onboarding 12 lakh merchant base (Adhikari) providing assistance to 95% of rural pin codes, covering 2,50,000 villages, 700 districts and 5,000 blocks, serving 20 million monthly customers. 


	
	About Spice Money
	Spice Money, a subsidiary of DiGiSPICE Technologies, is India&#039;s leading rural fintech revolutionizing the way Bharat Banks, with over 12 lakh Adhikaris (nanopreneurs) offering Aadhar-enabled payment system for cash withdrawal, mini ATM, loans, bill payments, cash collection centers for customer/ agents/ representatives of NBFC/Banks, airtime recharge, tours &amp; travel, online shopping, Pan Card and mPoS services.

<title>Only 14% of B Schoolers Want to Work in Startups and Prefer in Hand Salary over Bloated CTCs through Shares and Bonuses</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			Only 14% want to work for a startup. Almost half (49%) of B School students prefer working with established (decade+) companies and large legacy firms.
	
	
		
			If students participated in competitions, the chances of bagging higher CTCs increased by 300%-500%
	
	
		
			Salary and benefits slips as the top priority giving way to Career progression and growth within the company for B School Students when considering a job.
	
	
		
			Work from home, flexible working hours, relocation or travel opportunities and training programmes are of the least importance in comparison to career progression and growth.
	
	
		
			Over 50% of B-Schoolers choose lower CTC &amp; fixed components if the in-hand salary is high. In hand salary remains the most valuable salary component this year as well, followed by Fixed Salary and Total Salary.
	
	
		
			College alumni continue to influence the notion of students about the company.
	



	 


	Unstop, a career transformation platform, released its annual Campus Employer Branding Report (CEBR 2023), a one-of-a-kind report which sheds light on key factors that influence students job preferences. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Pankaj Bansal, Co-founder &amp; Group CEO, PeopleStrong, Ankit Aggarwal, Founder &amp; CEO, Unstop and Anita Bhogle unveiled the report


	 


	
		
			
				
					Methodology &amp; Participants Profile 

				
					
						
							Time duration: Jan - March 2023
					
					
						
							Sample Size: 9,810 students participated in the survey
					
					
						
							30 objective &amp; Subjective Questions
					
					
						
							The gender diversity ratio of male to female respondents was 68% to 31%, with 1% identifying as other
					
					
						
							The report includes leading trends and analysis from survey responses across B-School, E-School, and Arts, Science &amp; Commerce categories, with separate analysis for deviations
					
					
						
							The premier 10 B-Schools (Tier 1) were IIM A, IIM B, IIM C, IIM L, IIM K, IIM I, XLRI, FMS, MDIx
					
				
			
		
	



	The report was unveiled as a part of Unstop Campus Hiring Meet (UCHM) 2023, which was attended by over 600 industry experts, speakers, panellists and delegates.


	 


	Ankit Aggarwal, CEO and Founder, Unstop, said, &quot;The report offers valuable insights into the factors that shape students job preferences, enabling companies to gain a better understanding of their mind-set and attract and retain top talent.&quot;


	 


	He further added, &quot;Our findings emphasize the importance of engagement strategies like competitions, placement talks, and informal alumni talks, as well as the need for start-ups to customize their engagement programs to attract talent. We also discovered that B-School graduates now prioritize career growth over salary, and that alumni engagement is vital for improving an employers brand.&quot;


	 


	The report also shows that almost half (49%) of B-Schoolers prefer working with established &amp; large firms, while only 14% want to work specifically for a startup, which is in line with last year&#039;s poll. This is a clear indication that startups should tailor more synergistic and interactive engagement programs for students. They should step up their employer branding game because the more people will know about them and their culture, the more there will be chances of attracting the right talent.


	 


	CEBR 2023 also reveals that there has been a year-on-year change in the priorities of B-School graduates, with career growth now being considered more important than salary, compared to the previous year. Over 50% of the B-Schoolers surveyed chose lower CTC &amp; Fixed Component if the In-Hand salary was high, underlining the importance of higher in-hand salaries to students.


	 


	Unstop CEBR 2023 reveals that participating in competitions can increase the chances of students bagging higher CTCs by 300%-500%, making it an essential engagement strategy for companies looking to attract top talent.


	 


	The importance of engaging with alumni in influencing students perception of a company cannot be overstated, and the CEBR 2023 report reinforces this fact. It is thus crucial for companies to connect with campus alumni and utilize their networks to enhance their employer brand. The report also highlights that the most effective company engagement model, according to students feedback, is a combination of competition, placement talks, and informal alumni talks. This has been the preferred trend for the last three years.


	 


	As part of the survey, students were also asked to rank their dream employer that they would like to work for, their most preferred tech company, and so on. The complete rankings of Unstop CEBR 2023 were also announced at Unstop Campus Hiring Meet (UCHM) 2023 on May 9th. UCHM 2023 also touched upon ways to address and resolve systemic barriers to fa ]]></description>

<title>Digital Money 2023: Experts Explore Synergies to Advance India&amp;apos;s Digital Payments Ecosystem</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/digital-money-2023-experts-explore-synergies-to-advance-indias-digital-payments-ecosystem</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/digital-money-2023-experts-explore-synergies-to-advance-indias-digital-payments-ecosystem</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	The 15th edition of Digital Money 2023, organized by the Payments Council of India (PCI), concluded on a high note, with discussions around the landscape of digital payments in the country. The flagship conference brought together industry stalwarts to discuss and deliberate on Indias digital payments growth story and its impact across various sectors.
	 


	With the theme of this years conference being &quot;From Innovation to Synergies&quot;, Vishwas Patel, Chairman, Payments Council of India, hailed the initiatives taken by both the public and private sectors and called the Digital Money conference a pivotal platform for shaping the industrys future. &quot;Digital payments are driving fintech growth in India, supported by accessibility and population trends. While cash and digital payments are growing, focus on acceptance and revenue mechanisms is crucial. UPI has seen growth with the installation of over 26 crore QR codes in kirana stores. On the other hand, over 96 crore debit cards are in circulation, with 4.5 million terminals supporting 25 crore SMEs. We feel the government&#039;s support through Information, Innovation, and Taxation (IIT) has been crucial for the growth,&quot; he said.
	 


	Christophe Mariette, Commercial Director and Chairman, Lyra Network India said, &quot;Fintech is booming in India due to the countrys robust digital infrastructure. UPI, for instance, processed a record 8 billion transactions in a month. Digital payments are crucial for cost-effective cross-border transactions, but require robust compliance and security measures. Only end-to-end solution providers can address these needs efficiently. At Lyra, we are very bold to bring UPI inference and we will demonstrate UPI for Indians during the visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji on Liberation Day. On the other hand, Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) has the potential to transform the ecosystem as it offers regulatory benefits. Once regulated, CBDCs like e-rupee will provide benefits of digital payments with blockchain-backed regulatory compliance.&quot;
	 


	Noopur Chaturvedi, CEO, NPCI Bharat Billpay Ltd., praised the regulators for their support. &quot;I am confident that we will continue to accelerate our growth over the next five years, with ecosystem partners possibly needing to invest in the platform. The regulators have provided exceptional support, with the RBI Governors announcement in the December monetary policy expanding the scope of BBPS beyond directory bill payments. We have exciting plans in the pipeline for this area, and the same settlement concept is also suitable for ONDC. Additionally, the challenge of matching buyers and suppliers is an ongoing problem that requires constant solutions,&quot; she pointed out.
	 


	&quot;Right from the very early days at Razorpay, we have partnered with various folks especially banks, networks, regulated entities as well as the partners from the merchant side. As the ecosystem grows, partnership is going to act as an important parameter to scale,&quot; said Khilan Haria, Sr. Vice President &amp; Head of Payments Product, Razorpay.
	 


	At a session focused on the practical implications of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), Naveen Surya, Chairman of the Fintech Convergence Council (FCC), shared his perspective. Speaking about the &quot;Theory and Reality of CBDC Implementation,&quot; He highlighted the critical role of collaboration between various stakeholders, including the government, the private sector, and consumers, in successfully implementing CBDCs. &quot;The way we talk about innovation and what has happened with UPI, if we look at the next innovation from our country, it will be CBDC in the next five to seven years. The way India is a leader in fast payments, it wont be too long that India leaves behind China as well in CBDC,&quot; he said.
	 


	Digital Money 2023 showcased how innovation had scaled financial inclusion, making payments more convenient and secure. Attendees gained valuable insights and opportunities for collaboration. The Payments Council of India reaffirmed its commitment to building a more innovative, collaborative, and prosperous future for digital payments.


	 


	The premier conference brought together more than 50 speakers, including visionary founders, and stalwarts from the payments industry with over 750 delegates participating in the event.
	 


	More information on the conference may be obtained from the website: Digital Money 2023
	 


	About Payments Council of India (PCI) 


	The Payments Council of India (PCI) was formed in 2013 catering to the needs of the digital payment industry. The Council was formed inter-alia for the purposes of representing the various regulated non-banking payment industry players, to address and help resolve various industry-level issues and barriers which require discussion and action. The council works with all its members to promote payments industry growth and to support our national goals of &#039;less cash society&#039; and ]]></description>

<title>RazorpayX Introduces Automated ESCROW+ Solution, Enables Instant &amp;amp; Secure Money Transfers for Businesses</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/razorpayx-introduces-automated-escrow-solution-enables-instant-secure-money-transfers-for-businesses</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/razorpayx-introduces-automated-escrow-solution-enables-instant-secure-money-transfers-for-businesses</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	With the objective of providing automated, compliant, and secure money transfer experience on Escrow accounts to businesses, RazorpayX, the business banking platform of Razorpay, today announced the launch of ESCROW+ solution, powered by Axis Trustee Services Ltd., RBL Bank &amp; ICICI Bank. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	RazorpayX Introduces Automated ESCROW+ Solution, Enables Instant &amp; Secure Money Transfers for Businesses


	 


	In certain industries, receiving funds in a current account is not an ideal solution for a business as 100% of the money in the account doesnt belong to the business. These businesses either receive funds on behalf of others or operate under a partnership model in which funds from another business entity are in their current account to manage operations. This complicated money flow could lead to a foreseen compliance issue causing hefty penalties for businesses.


	 


	RazorpayXs ESCROW+ solution aims to address such pain points, first by providing an Escrow trustee who is vetted and on-boarded by RazorpayX. Second, by providing merchants with an Escrow account to route funds they are receiving on behalf of end beneficiaries, ensuring the right tax treatment and reporting. Moreover, the automated processes facilitated by ESCROW+ assure higher success rates and seamless payouts, enhancing overall payout performance.


	 


	Commenting on the solution, Ayush Bansal, Vice President and General Manager, RazorpayX &amp; Razorpay Capital said, &quot;As we move into the next chapter of India&#039;s fintech journey, it is important to bring together businesses from across different sectors into the ambit of the country&#039;s digital growth. With verticals such as Gaming, Co-lending, P2P lending, and Marketplace &amp; eCommerce facing hurdles in terms of compliance and payments, we wanted to extend a solution that will address their pain points while focusing on what we have always done - making money movement simpler, compliant, and worry-free. Our solution is ideal for businesses in certain industries because it provides a secure, automated, and transparent way to manage the flow of funds &amp; streamline compliance. In line with this, we are excited to launch RazorpayX ESCROW+ which is tailored to assist innovative, digital-first businesses in avoiding any last-minute chaos and threat to their business continuity, thereby, empowering their growth.&quot;


	 


	Talking about Axis Trustee&#039;s partnership with RazorpayX for the Escrow solution, Deepa Rath, Managing Director &amp; CEO at Axis Trustee Services Ltd. said, &quot;The future of Banking lies in digital-first solutions, and we are thrilled to announce our partnership with RazorpayX. Together, we are not only committed to ensuring compliance for our customers but also offering a seamless end-to-end money transfer automation directly from Escrow accounts. Together with RazorpayXs cutting-edge technology and Axis Trustee&#039;s domain expertise, customers can now expect a superior experience that sets a new standard in the Banking &amp; Trustee industry.&quot;


	 


	The ESCROW+ account is the second type of account that RazorpayX will be offering as part of its Business Banking Suite, in addition to current accounts. While the solution will currently cater to digital-first businesses in Gaming, Marketplace &amp; eCommerce, Co-lending, and P2P-lending industries, the company soon plans on expanding the solution to other industries where Escrow accounts play a crucial role in money transfers.


	 


	RazorpayX has served over 45,000 businesses and enabled them to seamlessly supercharge their current accounts, process their payroll in 3-clicks, and experience automated vendor payments. More recently, the platform forayed into Forex Service for Startups, an offering aimed at empowering Indian businesses to transfer the funds they raised globally into India. In the three months since its beta launch, the service enabled 15 firms to bring Rs 350 crore in annualised run rate (ARR) to India. Additionally, it launched RazorpayX Digital Lending 2.0, a digital lending solution for NBFCs and Fintechs to assist them in complying with digital lending guidelines.


	 


	About RazorpayX


	RazorpayX is the leading new-age business finance platform from Fintech giant Razorpay. Built on top of a current account &amp; escrow account (from India&#039;s leading banks), RazorpayX is designed to automate and simplify repetitive and time-consuming financial tasks. From facilitating day-to-day payments, accounting &amp; reconciliation, to helping businesses borrow collateral-free loans, automate the payroll process, and adhere to the latest tax compliance standards, RazorpayX provides businesses and entrepreneurs with a future-forward solution. RazorpayX current account is powered by RBL &amp; ICICI Banks. RazorpayX has over 45,000 businesses on its platform.

	Enterprise Insights 


	Powered by the concept of userization, Enterprise Insights enables organizations to track, visualize, and analyze applications, processes (across apps), and enterprise-level adoption and engagement data. This data is critical for IT and business leaders to gain visibility into the license utilization, adoption, and engagement metrics of all business-critical enterprise applications and processes. By utilizing this data, enterprises can remove productivity blockers &amp; drive efficiency in the organization.


	 


	Over the previous two quarters, Enterprise Insights has been running in closed beta with select Fortune 500 customers of Whatfix who are using it to make better, data-driven decisions to drive process adoption and digital transformation acceleration.


	 


	Whatfix AI


	Today, Whatfix overlays 750+ types of applications, with 143,000+ pieces of knowledge documentation across these applications. This rich knowledge and vast experience, uniquely positions Whatfix to re-imagine the DAP category with AI.


	 


	Whatfix is investing in R&amp;D to build underlying application-agnostic use cases for &quot;user productivity multiplication&quot; using Generative AI. The technology shall support both customer-facing and employee-facing, web, desktop, and mobile applications, reducing the time and effort required to handle text in them by


	
		
			Auto-completing text fields in real time,
	
	
		
			Elaborating brief notes that a user writes in any text field,
	
	
		
			Getting Summarized answers in a self-help search experience. This feature will provide a short/summarized answer to users&#039; questions by looking at their organization&#039;s knowledge base articles and other forms of documentation and finding relevant, contextual help information. This will reduce the time taken to reach help from internal documentation by 75%.

The end users have a choice to review AI-powered answers before utilizing them and also provide a finer level of control to business/IT stakeholders. Further, AI models are optionally fine-tuned for each of the customers. This approach empowers each customer&#039;s AI model to be highly contextual to their digital processes and tasks and helps overcome AI hallucinations and biases. The approach also helps infuse contextual feedback and inputs from specific customers into their AI models crafting the most personalized and effective AI Self-Help.

<title>45 Days, 45 Founders, 45 Unique Art Creations: Razorpay&amp;apos;s Ode to India&amp;apos;s Inspiring Entrepreneurs Reimagined via AI for First Time</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			India&#039;s First-ever AI-powered print ad Founder-first campaign, #ImaginedThroughAI is dedicated to celebrating Indias vibrant entrepreneurial spirit
	
	
		
			Features founders like Vineeta Singh (SUGAR cosmetics), Vidit Aatrey (Meesho), Deepinder Goyal (Zomato), Alakh Pandey (Physics Wallah), Shashank Mehta (The Whole Foods) among others
			 
	



	Committed to championing the Indian startup-up ecosystem, Razorpay, India&#039;s Leading Full-Stack Payments and Banking Platform for Businesses has launched the Country&#039;s First-ever AI-powered print ad campaign, #ImaginedThroughAI, that envisions the journey of India&#039;s entrepreneurs in a never-seen-before light. A truly founder-first and founder-only campaign, Razorpay partnered with Talented.Agency to conceptualize this series of 45 art pieces of 45 founders spread across 45 days showcasing the passion and grit of some of India&#039;s changemakers in an unprecedented manner. Despite macroeconomic challenges, Indias startup landscape has witnessed tremendous growth fueled by innovative founders. Razorpay believes that it is now more important than ever to honor these superheroes as they continue to inspire and influence the future generation and economy.


	 


	With India becoming one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world, the country&#039;s start-ups are rewriting India&#039;s economic roadmap, leading India&#039;s march to achieve a $5 trillion GDP by 2025. The country has consistently supported the business side of start-ups as risk-takers and wealth creators but more could be done to celebrate the human side - the resilience, passion, and unique spirit of founders. #ImaginedThroughAI is a tribute to the entrepreneurial spirit that inspires India. It urges India to discover the unseen and untold stories of founders, revealing the secret behind their success - their vision, values, attitudes, and codes that make them who they are, and what drives them.


	 


	In the last 25 days, The Economic Times has featured some influential trailblazers like Vidit Aatrey (Meesho), Deepinder Goyal (Zomato), Aloke Bajpai (Ixigo), Vineeta Singh (Sugar Cosmetics), Alakh Pandey (Physics Wallah), Shashank Mehta (Whole Truth Foods), Sairee Chahal (Sheroes), Minu Margaret (BlissClub), Ankit Agarwal (Phool.Co), Supriya Paul (Josh Talks), Ashish Kashyap (INDMoney) to name a few. A 9-week-long marathon, this AI celebration, powered by over 1,000 unique prompts is building a visual museum of India&#039;s start-up story and bringing to light the untold stories of the founders, by the founders.


	 


	Apuarv Sethi, VP Marketing, Razorpay, said, &quot;Razorpay has always been deeply moved by the spirit of entrepreneurship. It animates everything we do. We found the right partner in Talented.Agency to bring this out in the most interesting way. #ImaginedThroughAI was born out of the desire to imagine the unseen spirit of entrepreneurship - the passion, the values, the vision, and the spirit of the founders. We hope that this campaign builds appreciation for the human side of entrepreneurship and creates a culture of championing the founders who are changing our present and our future.&quot;
	 


	The campaign uses AI tools such as Midjourney and Stable Diffusion.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	#ImaginedThroughAI Razorpay Campaign
	 


	&quot;#ImaginedThroughAI shows us a different side of founders that never make it to the news - their passions, their drive, their zeal. We&#039;re proud to partner with Razorpay and take on the onus to celebrate Indian founders for their passions, not just their profits. Someone asked us earlier - is this the new corporate mugshot It might as well be! Each founder&#039;s art concept is inspired by either their vision or their journey thus far - that&#039;s why we&#039;re seeing founders every day imagined in green fields, on other planets, in rivers of chocolate. Brought alive via Hyperrealism, 90s Manga art style, Steampunk - design styles so alien to B2B overall,&quot; said PG Aditiya, CCO and Co-founder at Talented.Agency.


	 


	The campaign has already witnessed a huge positive impact with conversations around founders brimming outside the start-up community. For instance, it helped the Cuddles Foundation raise over INR 1 Lac, the day their founder Purnota Bahl was featured in the series.


	 


	Razorpay has held a long-standing commitment to enabling the startup ecosystem, one of them being the Razorpay Rize platform which works with over 500 Indian startups. The Rize Program has guided these startups to take their first step, helping early-stage and bootstrapped startups actually &#039;start up&#039; their growth journey with utmost ease and comfort.

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/trendlyne-launches-starfolio-a-free-baskets-investing-product</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Trendlyne, India&#039;s leading analytics platform for investors and traders launches Starfolio, a basket-investing product now available to investors and brokerages for free. With Starfolio, investors can buy featured Starfolio baskets or create their own baskets. They can add and remove stocks or ETFs in the basket, and also set stop loss and rebalancing reminders. Investors can buy and sell baskets via six connected brokers - IIFL, 5Paisa, Fyers, Motilal Oswal, Zerodha and Angel One. 
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Trendlyne Launches Starfolio


	 


	Starfolio is also available for businesses as a widget and API plugins.   


	 


	Trendlyne, India&#039;s analytics platform for investors and traders, has seen rapid growth in the past year, with over 300 million page/screen views over 12 months on its website and mobile app. It is now among the top 50 websites in India in the investing space; the Trendlyne Markets app, which launched recently on the Google Play store, already has high ratings and over half a million downloads.


	 


	Trendlyne&#039;s B2B business counts India&#039;s major brokerages among its customers, including ICICI Securities, Kotak Securities, HDFC Securities, 5Paisa, Motilal Oswal, IIFL, Fyers, SBI Capital, Edelweiss, and several others. Trendlyne serves over 500 million APIs and page views every month to its B2B customers.


	 


	Amber Pabreja, the CEO and Co-founder of Trendlyne said, &quot;We launched Starfolio to complete the product loop from analytics to transactions for investors, so that they can manage their portfolios more easily on Trendlyne. Investors can now log onto Trendlyne and easily buy and sell their screeners, watchlists or lists of stocks, using their preferred brokers.&quot;


	 


	Starfolio enables theme-based investing, management of different portfolios within a family, and management of portfolios on different broker accounts. For instance, a user may be investing in a theme like the auto sector. To do this, investors can create a basket of auto stocks from scratch, or export the watchlist of auto stocks they have created on Trendlyne into a Starfolio basket.


	 


	Once they have saved and invested in the basket, the analytics for these stocks is separately available from their overall portfolio. Tracking and comparison becomes a lot easier.


	 


	Tendlyne is a profitable company and the goal from the start has been to market-test products to build a sustainable business. Trendlyne has built cutting edge products in the stock market and mutual funds space, encompassing stock scores, screeners, backtesting, Alpha Alerts (real time alerts across structured and unstructured data), stock insights, as well as forward-looking products in consensus estimates and analyst calls.

	The third successful edition of the Frontiers of Digital Finance Roundtable was marked by the valuable insights and experiences shared by various industry leaders including spokespeople from BlackBuck, Agrizy, Ninjacart and Loadshare Networks among others. The discussions revolved around crucial topics, including facilitating credit access to SMEs in their respective ecosystems, navigating the changing regulatory landscape in lending, and developing effective strategies for partnerships and collaborations to enhance their services and drive innovation in the industry. The event laid the groundwork for future advancements in financial technology and inclusive lending practices.


	 


	Sharing his views on the company&#039;s initiative, Vineet Tyagi, Head of India Operations and Global CTO, Biz2X said, &quot;Collaboration and knowledge-sharing play a crucial role in driving innovation and promoting SME lending business in the Indian ecosystem. The Frontiers of Digital Finance Roundtable serves as a vital platform for industry leaders to exchange valuable insights and experiences, paving the way for future advancements in financial technology and inclusive lending practices. We are committed to fostering partnerships and collaborations that will enhance our services and empower SMEs in the Indian economy.&quot;


	 


	The industry leaders participating at the roundtable discussed how the industry aggregators encounter critical challenges that hinder their ability to provide optimal services to MSMEs. These challenges include restricted access to essential information, a lack of coherent structure, and the need to navigate the varying perspectives of multiple stakeholders. Furthermore, time constraints, collateral requirements for MSME loans, inadequate financial expertise, lack of liquidity, and limited access to working capital are among the other obstacles that these aggregators face.


	 


	Putting forth his views while moderating the roundtable, Raghav Ghosh, Partner, Boston Consulting Group, &quot;Addressing the large MSME credit gap is key to reaching the 10 trillion dollar economy ambition. The forum was a great way to foster innovation &amp; co-create solutions for the most pressing challenges in SME lending such as adapting lending policies &amp; norms to MSME sub-segments, use of technology &amp; analytics to lower cost of lending &amp; enhance CX, and forging partnerships between banks, NBFCs, fintechs &amp; MSME ecosystem aggregators to expand access to credit.&quot;


	 


	Vinay Koka, CEO and Founder, Meraai, said, &quot;The biggest challenge that we faced while lending money to the retailers has been the collection which prompted us to shift to cash-and-carry model. We are consistently exploring multiple models like staples, processed food, packed food, supply chain with a revamped approach to scale up through bootstrapped model without raising any VC funds.&quot;


	 


	Puneet Jain, Head of Growth, Onwo, said, &quot;We are using our debt fund to source the supply and we currently export to 11+ countries. While we look to explore a new approach, information arbitrage about SMEs profiling is a big challenge considering the data requirements by the lender.&quot;


	 


	&quot;Having worked with multiple lenders, current interest rates to SMEs poses a challenge for Agrizy while we are making efforts towards value addition in our gamut of services,&quot; added Mr. Sabyasachi Satpathy, Strategic Partner, Agrizy.


	 


	As part of its ongoing efforts to drive innovation in the industry, Biz2X plans to organize similar events every month in Delhi and other cities.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	In 2022-23, Indian industries are showing growth despite significant headwinds, including macroeconomic uncertainty. Indian companies have recorded a significant increase in revenue and are now higher than pre-pandemic levels, driven by sustained volume increase, policy support, and increased consumed expenditure. However, in a few sectors including India&#039;s IT industry, the growth momentum is expected to slow down in the near to midterm due to macroeconomic factors including lower discretionary IT spends. Subsequently, it is expected that the sector will reduce hiring because of adding excess capacity in the previous fiscal year.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Mr. Vinod Grover, Managing Director, South Asia and Africa and Mr. Jayant Murthy, Joint Managing Director, South Asia and Africa along with the participants during Kaizen Congress India 2023


	 


	As a result of this, other sectors also face a looming threat of underperformance in the months to come. A key determinant in any economic cycle of ups and downs is whether or not an organization has been able to maximize its operational efficiency. Research has suggested that for a company that the way we organize work can influence productivity more than individual effort can. There is however a second part to this, a way for companies across sectors to sustain themselves, is through a focus on resilience alongside efficiency.
	 


	Resilience is defined as a company&#039;s ability to recover effectively from periods of economic downturns. Efficiency allows us to thrive in an existing business environment, and resilience coupled with efficiency allows us to thrive through a dynamic and constantly changing business environment.
	 


	The 12th Annual Kaizen Congress India 2023, a two-day event organized by Kaizen Institute at the Sheraton Grand Bund Garden Hotel in Pune brought this in focus. The event centered itself towards promoting continuous improvement and efficiency in the workplace as it brought together some of the most renowned industry experts, business leaders and professionals from various sectors to share their insights, strategies, and experiences on how to deliver resilience and efficiency through lean management methods in their respective organizations. The event was attended by over 200 participants from sectors including FMCG, retail, auto, manufacturing, and healthcare.
	 


	The Congress kicked off with an opening keynote address by Mr. Vinod Grover, MD - South Asia and Africa, Kaizen Institute, who emphasized the importance of a platform such as Kaizen Congress India 2023. He said that, &quot;A platform dedicated to continuous improvement and organizational efficiency is key to unlocking India&#039;s business and growth potential to realize our collective vision for a prosperous and thriving economy by 2047.&quot;
	 


	Throughout the two-day event, attendees had the opportunity to participate in various interactive sessions, panel discussions, and workshops led by experts from different industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, and services. Some of the keynote speakers included Dr. N. Ravichandran, Chief Mentor - UCAL Fuel Systems, Mr. Periakaruppa Nadar Kaniappan, Managing Director - ZF Commercial Vehicle Control Systems India and Mr.Lakshminarayan Ganesh, Chairman&amp; Managing Director-Rane Holdings Ltd. The congress also witnessed high impact session from Mr. Manoranjan Pani - Chief General Manager - Anand Milk Union Limited (AMUL).


	 


	Speaking during the conference, Mr. Jayant Murthy, Joint Managing Director - South Asia and Africa, Kaizen Institute said that, &quot;A critical part of business success is not simply through maximizing efficiency across divisions, but it is through allowing yourself to be challenged in a constantly changing environment, and subsequently building total system resilience and adaptability to continue performing on top.&quot;
	 


	The overall event emphasized strategic planning and techniques to bridge the gap between strategy formulation and execution. Experts from Kaizen Institute highlighted methodologies to help participants align their strategy vertically from top to bottom, ensuring that everyone is aligned with the companys goals and objectives. Kaizen methodologies can be adopted in different sectors including manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, aviation, FMCG among many others. Participants also had the chance to network with peers and experts from their respective industries.
	 


	The Kaizen Congress India 2023 was organized by Kaizen Institute, a leading consultancy firm specializing in continuous improvement, and was supported by various sponsors and partners. For more information about Kaizen Institute and its&#039;s methodologies, please visit in.kaizen.com.

<title>Decoding Brand Saif Ali Khan &#45; What Makes the Actor a Brand Favourite with Over 20+ Endorsements in 2023</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	One can never quite zero in on what makes Saif Ali Khan the enigma that he is. He was loved in his roles in romantic-comedies like Hum Tum, Salaam Namaste, Kal Ho Na Ho but chose to break away from the stereotype, winning praise even for his grey characters in films like Tanhaji, and a National Award for Omkara. Already an established and celebrated actor in cinema, he then chose to be part of the OTT world with the cult series Sacred Games, this at a time when the platform wasn&#039;t even as recognised as it is today - Call it foresight or just plain gut instinct, Saif Ali Khan has always been on the cusp of breakthrough content. Considering his career choices this far and the gamut of characters he&#039;s taken on, versatility is truly the name of the game for Saif, who is also quite the favorite in the brand world. Interestingly, this versatility and variety reflects in the brands he chooses to endorse, epitomising certain values and characteristics that he is also known for.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Saif Ali Khan in House of Pataudi


	 


	The actor is currently the face of over 20 leading brands across FMCG, Electronics, Lifestyle, Beauty, Electronics and appliance categories including Lays Gourmet Dollar, SELECTED Homme, Godrej, Curever Pharma Paras Elaichi Pizza Hut, Tata sky Gold medal Kanodia HBM Gold Servokon Impex - LED TVs, Pepper Fry, Lux, Joy Bikes, Dollar, Boult Audio, Adsun Aygo House of PataudiVectus and Littles. In the past few weeks, Khan has shot interesting campaigns for Pizza Hut, Joy Bikes, Dollar, SELECTED Homme, and Lays Gourmet. Incidentally he has even launched all 10 flavors of cult FNB brand, Lays, since 2003 and has now rejoined the brand as their first ever brand ambassador.  


	 


	Talking about Saif&#039;s appointment as the brand ambassador, Shailja Joshi, Director-Marketing, Potato Chips Category, PepsiCo India said, &quot;We are thrilled to welcome Saif once again as a member of the Lay&#039;s family, this time as the face of our range of slow-cooked premium kettle chips, Lay&#039;s Gourmet. His impeccable taste and refined choices in life make him the perfect partner to showcase the crafted experience of Lay&#039;s Gourmet. Our new TV commercial seamlessly establishes this correlation as it gives a sneak peek into what actually defines Saif as the connoisseur of finer things. We&#039;re confident that our fans will embrace him as the face of Lay&#039;s Gourmet, just like they&#039;ve been savouring the well-deserved experience and rich taste of these delightful chips.&quot;


	 


	Sharing her views on the overall campaign collaboration with Pizza Hut and Saif Ali Khan, Aanandita Datta, Chief Marketing Officer, Pizza Hut India, said, &quot;When we were conceptualizing our Mood badle, pizza badle campaign, Saif was a unanimous choice because of his signature style and persona. His versatility in essaying the wide variety of roles through his career perfectly mirrors our campaign about the many moods that Pizza Hut is perfect for! Saif&#039;s involvement in the project has been invaluable. Our mood plays an important role in deciding our food cravings, and we thought who better than the Nawab himself to talk about our new Nawabi Murgh Makhani pizza, which perfectly matches Saif&#039;s kinglike mood. We believe this campaign, developed by Creativeland Asia, has the potential to become one of our most successful yet.&quot;


	 


	Speaking on their recent collaboration, Vineet Gautam, CEO &amp; Country Head, BESTSELLER India says that, &quot;SELECTED Homme is a menswear brand that values detailed aesthetics and high quality while being at the forefront of sustainability. Having Saif Ali Khan as the face of the brand in India, goes beyond the typical brand and celebrity ambassador association, we truly believe that he embodies the SELECTED Homme spirit of being classic, sophisticated and stylish. Moreover, he has an instant connection with the target audience of our brand. Over the last 4 years, Saif has represented SELECTED Homme with elegance, authenticity, and a whole lot of passion. And there&#039;s more in store in the coming years.&quot;


	 


	On House of Pataudi, Sunder Balasubramanian, CMO, Myntra adds that, &quot;As a multi-faceted and celebrated star, Saif Ali Khan&#039;s popularity is ubiquitous. His illustrious acting career aside, Saifs impeccable sense of style adds multiple dimensions to his regal Pataudi persona, making him synonymous with Indian ethnic wear that oozes class and splendor, which he most graciously lends to the &#039;House of Pataudi&#039; brand, being the face of it. House of Pataudi continues to draw admiration from the shoppers on Myntra as they get to experience the exuberant collection which not only exudes style, but also reflects the rich story of the legacy Saif is a part of.&quot;    
	 


	Talking about Khans commitment, a Tata Play Spokesperson said, &quot;It has been a delightful experience working with Saif Ali Khan. Our association with him is ongoing and he has been a thorough professional  ]]></description>

	Since its launch in January 2023 in India, Enigmatic Smile has already established itself as a dominant player in the payment-linked rewards space with introduction of single.id. The company&#039;s core product, Single.id, ensures reward programme participants in India &quot;never miss out on rewards&quot;. It does this by automatically linking retailer discounts to existing bank cards.


	 


	&quot;Crores of INR in reward points and discounts are never redeemed each year. At Single.id we consider this loss of consumer value, a travesty. Single.id fixes this, and thus improves engagement like never before,&quot; said Bish Smeir, CEO, Enigmatic Smile.


	 


	Some of Indias most well-known brands including Shoppers Stop, Melorra, Himalaya, Soch, Spykar, Health &amp; Glow, Trufitt &amp; Hill, More Hypermart and Unicorn have already signed up to Single.id, and will provide customers with the easiest rewards experience possible. Many more retailers will be joining over the coming months. Single.id&#039;s unique offering in the loyalty rewards space has helped it in realizing its vision for the Indian market.


	 


	Chandra Bhushan, Country Head added, &quot;Every single payment you make becomes a reward opportunity. With Single.id there are no separate discount cards or barcodes necessary. By registering your credit and debit cards with a Single.id connected reward programme, customers can essentially get a better price while shopping.&quot;


	 


	Single.id is already available to all retailers in India who utilize Innoviti or Pinelabs technology to aggregate payments. With the flick of a switch, any retailer on these networks can be onboarded to Single.id and begin providing credit card and debit card-linked discounts to all connected reward programme participants.


	 


	You can try out Single.id technology right now, by securely registering your payment cards on the first loyalty programme going live with Single.id, NDTV Big Bonus. Simply search your app store for &quot;NDTV Big Bonus&quot;, download the app, link your card once, and get rewarded forever.

<title>Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan: A Hassle&#45;Free Solution for Quick Funding Needs</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finserv-gold-loan-a-hassle-free-solution-for-quick-funding-needs</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finserv-gold-loan-a-hassle-free-solution-for-quick-funding-needs</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	People take out loans for different reasons. It could be to manage medical bills, childrens education, starting a business, buying a vehicle, or even taking annual family vacations. There are various loan options available to meet these different needs.


	 


	Gold loans are becoming popular for multiple reasons. They do not require a specific purpose and can serve different needs. They are known for being affordable, easy, and quick. With a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan, borrowers can easily obtain funds starting from Rs. 5,000 up to Rs. 2 crore, and the loan can be disbursed within just 15 minutes. Customers can apply online with minimal details such as their name, 10-digit mobile number, and OTP.


	 


	


	How to get a gold loan with low CIBIL score | Bajaj Finserv


	 


	YouTube link: www.youtube.com/watchv=fwBjEWwhNfs&amp;feature=youtu.be


	 


	Here&#039;s a closer look at some of the key benefits offered by an instant gold loan from Bajaj Finance.


	 


	Low interest rate


	A big advantage of taking a gold loan is that the interest rates are typically lower than those of unsecured loans such as personal loans. This is because the borrower pledges their gold as collateral, which reduces the lenders risk and enables them to offer lower interest rates.


	 


	Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan interest rate starts from 9.50% per annum, making it a great choice for obtaining funds. By using the online gold loan calculator, borrowers can easily estimate their interest payments based on the weight of their gold jewellery or the loan amount.


	 


	Multiple repayment tenures and high LTV ratio


	Bajaj Finance provides customers with a great deal of flexibility in loan repayment. They have the freedom to decide when and how to repay the loan. For instance, they can choose to pay the total interest amount at the beginning of the loan term and clear the remaining principal at the end. Alternatively, they can make interest payments on a monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly basis.


	 


	Moreover, with a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan, borrowers can get a high loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of up to 75% of the estimated weight of their gold.


	 


	No CIBIL Score check


	Another main advantage of gold loans is that borrowers can secure them without requiring a good credit history or CIBIL Score. This is because the loan is backed by collateral in the form of gold jewellery, which provides the lender with a means of recovering the amount in case the borrower defaults. To be eligible for the loan, applicants only need to possess jewellery made of 22-karat gold.


	 


	Minimal documentation and quick processing 


	Loan applications can be burdensome due to the extensive documentation required, such as salary history, income proof, and tax records, among others, which may vary depending on the loan type. However, gold loans require only basic KYC details, which can be submitted much more quickly than the paperwork demanded by other loans.


	 


	The documentation process followed by Bajaj Finance is simple and involves KYC verification. Borrowers are only required to submit one of the following KYC documents - Aadhaar Card, voter ID card, passport, or driving licence. Unlike other loans, there is no need to present income proof documents.


	 


	Quick processing 


	Gold loans are processed quickly due to minimal documentation and no extensive eligibility checks. Any Indian citizen aged between 21 years and 70 years can obtain a gold loan without difficulty.


	 


	Bajaj Finance offers two convenient options to apply for a loan against gold. The first option involves visiting a nearby branch of Bajaj Finance and applying in person. Alternatively, borrowers can apply from the comfort of their own home by visiting the Bajaj Finance website and following a few easy steps.


	 


	Step 1: Navigate to the Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan page.


	Step 2: Select and open the online application form.


	Step 3: Fill in your first and last name as it appears on your PAN card.


	Step 4: Enter your 10-digit mobile number and select your city.


	Step 5: Enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number and submit the application.


	 


	Once the online application is submitted, a Bajaj Finance representative will help borrowers schedule an appointment at their preferred gold loan branch. With more than 800 branches located nationwide, Bajaj Finance provides fast and easy loan processing, ensuring that borrowers have a convenient experience with loan disbursement. To avail of a gold loan today, simply visit the Bajaj Finance website.


	 


	*Terms and conditions apply.


	 


	About Bajaj Finance Limited


	Bajaj Finance Ltd. (&#039;BFL&#039;, &#039;Bajaj Finance&#039;, or &#039;the Company&#039;), a subsidiary of Bajaj Finserv Ltd., is a deposit taking Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC-D) registered with the Reserve Bank of  ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Saarathee, a visionary company that aims to deliver business &amp; social impact by operationalizing inclusion of persons with disabilities within the corporate workforce, is excited to introduce their new endeavour &#039;Igniting Abilities&#039;- an exclusive webinar series that engages dialogue with Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) on corporate opportunities by bringing experts and freshers together on one platform.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Igniting Abilities&#039;- an exclusive webinar series by Saarathee


	 


	Saarathee CRM was founded in 2018 by Richa Bansal and Arjun Vishwanathan with the objective of delivering positive business outcomes via employing and enabling Persons with Disabilities. Saarathee has trained and hired more than 350 people. More than 90% of its workforce is represented by people with disabilities. 


	
	Saarathee has travelled the path of inclusion since its inception-where it hired, trained and nurtured people with different disabilities in its business; and delivered business outcomes. Hence it has set a path for itself and other corporates to follow on their journey to drive inclusion.


	 


	The series aims to help people with disabilities find their own corporate journey without self-doubt and obstacles. By engaging in a comprehensive dialogue with corporate specialists, we intend to resolve queries and gaps that PwDs encounter in their career, making them corporate ready.


	
	Igniting Abilities will be conducted on the first and third Saturdays of every month, covering a wide range of topics related to Corporate Opportunities for PwDs with an eminent panel of guest speakers and experts in respective fields.


	
	With a strong presence on the disability inclusion platform and a representation of our own BPO practice, Saarathee has made significant strides since it was founded. They are now stepping up to a new horizon to revolutionise the future of work by bridging the gap of skills amongst people with disabilities.


	
	Their vision and mission is to build intent and action across corporates &amp; PwDs to drive equal opportunities for professionals with disabilities, thereby bridging the gap of inclusion by making them contributing members of society. And to transform persons with disabilities into professionals with disabilities by converging EdTech, hiring and change management such that corporations can truly unleash the potential of PwD.


	
	The first session of the series on &#039;How to Initiate a Conversation&#039;, attracted a Pan-Indian audience of job seekers with disability. Most attendees were in their Undergraduate program, and the types of disability included locomotor, visual and hearing. The audience was inquisitive with a ranging from the lack of disability cells in companies, absence of corporate initiative to include, or the inability to look beyond the disability and so on.


	
	On the occasion of introducing this new endeavour Ms. Richa Bansal, Founder and Managing Director of Saarathee shares her thoughts, &quot;We are elated to announce the new series of webinars that will be a valuable resource for professionals as well as freshers with disabilities in their corporate journey. We are now stepping up to a new horizon to revolutionize the future of work by bridging the gap of skills amongst people with disabilities.&quot;


	
	About Saarathee
	Saarathee is a visionary company which aims to deliver business &amp; social impact by operationalising inclusion of Persons with Disabilities within the corporate workforce. Saarathee&#039;s premise is built on the foundation of enabling sustainable change by offering a seamless connect between Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), Corporates and Inclusion Enablers by bridging the gaps of learning, collaboration, and deployment.

<title>Stack Identity Raises USD 4M Seed Funding to Solve Biggest IAM Operations Problem of &amp;apos;Shadow Access&amp;apos; for Enterprises</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/stack-identity-raises-usd-4m-seed-funding-to-solve-biggest-iam-operations-problem-of-shadow-access-for-enterprises</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/stack-identity-raises-usd-4m-seed-funding-to-solve-biggest-iam-operations-problem-of-shadow-access-for-enterprises</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Stack Identity, a Silicon Valley startup automating identity and access management (IAM) governance to identify and eliminate cloud data threat vectors, today announced the closing of a $4 million seed funding round Co-led by US -based WestWave Capital and Benhamou Global Ventures.


	
	In the rapidly evolving realm of cloud-based identity and access management (IAM), businesses are unable to protect sensitive data if they don&#039;t know who has access, why, and for how long. Stack Identity was created to solve this problem, making it easier for customers to protect critical and sensitive data stored in the cloud by eliminating applications and services from rogue access, and preventing unauthorized data sharing and data exfiltration. Protecting sensitive data in a complex data sharing environment is only possible by addressing the access layer and specifically what Stack Identity defines as &#039;shadow access&#039;.


	
	&quot;Stack Identity was created to address the problem of shadow access-unauthorized, unmonitored, and invisible cloud data access patterns created by the myriad of human and machine cloud identities accessing the cloud. Businesses of all sizes can now benefit from Stack Identity&#039;s automated breach detection leveraging advanced heuristics that continuously detects and removes bad actors from cloud environments,&quot; said Ambrish Deshpande, Co-founder &amp; COO, Stack Identity. &quot;Our Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi also spoke about cyber security as the common concern among most of the world leaders today and how India has the opportunity to export Cyber Security Services and innovative solutions. India is not only a critical market for Stack Identity but a vast talent pool that would support our global customer base while strengthening our commitment to India.&quot;


	
	The company&#039;s R&amp;D centre in India is home to development and delivery of path-breaking solutions for Shadow Access for organizations globally. The company has customers from industry-leading companies in North America and India.


	
	Additional investors in the round include Plug and Play and notable cybersecurity investors. The investment capital will enable Stack Identity to further invest in solving the challenge of automating cloud security as enterprises accelerate the development of data-centric and AI powered applications. Stack Identity will use the funds to scale product development, strengthen go-to-market strategies and expand customer reach, including SMBs, mid-market and enterprises.


	
	Eliminating Shadow Access as DevOps and SecOps Battle for Cloud Access Control
	Security concerns have become more significant as more companies move operations and data into the cloud. Cloud data is continuously exposed via thousands of automated, distributed access controls and entitlements, both human and API-based. One of the greatest challenges for organizations is ensuring that authorized identities have access to sensitive data while, at the same time, detecting and eliminating threats from unidentified users.


	
	Without visibility, risky behaviour cannot be effectively identified, prioritized and remediated. Despite security measures put in place by security teams, lack of visibility causes blindspots and shadow access for attackers to wreak havoc on organizations.


	
	Through its patent-pending Breach Prediction Index (BPI) algorithm, Stack Identity reduces the risk of cloud vulnerabilities and improves IAM audits, compliance and governance. The BPI enables Stack Identity customers to prioritize both risk and impact. Using its BPI, Stack Identity customers are empowered to detect the 2% of toxic combinations that impact 90% of data assets.


	
	Investor &amp; Customer Thoughts on Stack Identity Seed Funding Round


	&quot;We are very proud to co-lead the investment in Stack Identity,&quot; said Gaurav Manglik, General Partner at Westwave Capital. &quot;Venkat and the team are tackling an untenable security problem created by the proliferation of thousands of automated and human identities in the cloud, with an identity-first data security approach. We believe in the team&#039;s expertise in security, and Stack Identity&#039;s deep technology to differentiate in a crowded IAM market.&quot;


	 


	&quot;Stack Identity represents the winning formula we look for in our deal evaluation frameworks, namely, the combination of technology and team,&quot; said Yashwanth Hemaraj, Partner at Benhamou Global Ventures. &quot;As we accelerate into an Enterprise 4.0 world, Stack Identity is primed to emerge as a future market leader in the IAM space as enterprises accelerate digital transformation initiatives and the sanctity and security of data continue to increase in importance and value.&quot;


	
	&quot;Our AWS cloud ecosystem is a mix of automated DevOps and manually managed infrastructure,&quot; said Steve De Jong, distinguished engineer at Vercara. &quot;Stack Identity gives continuous visibility into our data exposure risks with the ability to automate least ]]></description>

	A fixed deposit (FD) is one instrument that offers healthy returns on your deposit. This is because it is unaffected by market movements. Banks, Post offices and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) all offer FD. With company FDs, along with higher interest rates a little risk might be involved. Since safety is of paramount importance when you think of investing your hard-earned money in financial tools, you must choose wisely. Hence, choosing an FD with the right safety ratings is necessary.


	 


	Bajaj Finance FD is an NBFC FD that has been accredited with the highest safety ratings by ICRA and CRISIL, the two leading credit rating agencies in India. Making it a profitable investment option for risk-averse investors.

	Higher FD rates


	You can earn up to 8.20% p.a. on your deposits with Bajaj Finance. This is one of the highest FD rate offerings by any NBFC in the country. Higher FD rates result in a more handsome yield at maturity. You can even use the online FD calculator to estimate your returns even before you choose to invest in an FD.

	Multiple liquidity options


	Bajaj Finance offers multiple liquidity options to investors. You can choose the frequency at which interest is paid out on a non-cumulative FD. You can choose a payout option of monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly to cover your monthly expenses, such as unpaid utility bills and EMIs. It is an ideal option for those who depend on recurring interest payments to cover monthly obligations.


	 


	Systematic Deposit Plan 


	If you find investing in a lump sum inconvenient but still want to embark on your investment journey, then you can start making small savings early on. Bajaj Finance offers an industry-first monthly savings option. This is called the Systematic Deposit Plan. You can make small monthly contributions, with just Rs. 5000. These are treated as independent fixed deposits. And can help you align your investments with your goals. This works just like a Systematic Investment Plan sans the market risk.


	 


	It is time to open an FD with Bajaj Finance and make your wealth grow with one of the safest instruments available in the market with timely payouts.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	World Auto Forum successfully organised the WAF I2N - Innovators &amp; Investors Network and WAF Whale Tank in partnership with We Founder Circle, India&#039;s No 1 Angel Investors Platform. The event was also powered by WAF First Angels - A curated community by World Auto Forum of angel investors comprising Top CXOs, Entrepreneurs and professionals. 
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	The WAF Whale Tank &amp; 10th WAF Awards Ceremony evoke resounding applause!


	 


	Anuj Guglani, Founder &amp; CEO, World Auto Forum said, &quot;A thriving startups ecosystem is the barometer of innovation and growth for any nation. India has been a country of investors, startups and entrepreneurs even before these terms were coined. WAF is committed to contributing to these communities meaningfully.&quot;


	 


	The WAF I2N first panel discussion included angel investors and startup founders as speakers. It was on an extremely pertinent topic: Important Things That Make a Startup Successful. It initially saw the investors and founders lock horns on valuations, viability and value creation. This spiced up the discussion, reminiscent of their quarterly review meetings back at their offices! Gradually the discussion led to the discovery of common ground for win-win! They realised they need each other for the ecosystem to be alive. Hence collaboration is inevitable! 


	 


	The second WAF I2N panel discussion saw MDs &amp; CEOs of large corporations, angel investors and startup founders explore synergies to work with each other. The age old adage that the next Google might not come from Google and so forth was put to trial by the learned top thought leaders. The large corporation leaders acknowledged how at times their bureaucracy and layers of protocols can impede fast decision making and innovation. The startups rose to the occasion, ready to partner with their fresh thinking, passion and agility. 


	 


	There was an interesting Angel Investing Masterclass by Vikas Aggarwal, Co-founder, We Founder Circle which demystified Angel investing and brought back the focus on the basics of process, tech and research for sustained success in angel investing.
	 


	ENTER THE WAF WHALE TANK !


	WAF organised the first ever Whale Tank where 3 startups pitched their business ideas and stories of their growth and traction to a hall full of Angel investors - The WAF First Angels. 


	 


	The first startup was Qik Meeting, a unified business communication app that provides the worlds fastest online meeting rooms and the worlds first ever in-person meeting experience. Their AI powered automatic MoMs, meeting rooms with files, notes for life, fire up enterprise productivity. They have filed several US patent applications as well for their innovations. 


	 


	Next to present was AutoNXT Automation, a technology company developing an electric autonomous tractor with their high torque electric powertrain and off-road automation technologies. More than 70% of a tractors acquisition cost is spent on it&#039;s fuel as running cost by a farmer during its entire ownership tenure. This e-tractor comes with an onboard charger and can substantially reduce comprehensive cost of ownership.


	 


	The third startup was Motozite, an exclusive one-stop platform for luxury cars lovers to buy a pre-owned or a new luxury car or sell/trade-in their luxury car, and avail ownership solutions such as finance, insurance and warranty, all under one roof! Currently an aggregator, they plan to enter the buying, refurbishment and selling model. 


	 


	The 10th WAF Awards Ceremony: Six WAF Stars shine all the way


	Then it was time for the awards ceremony for the 10th WAF Awards - an award which is known for its quick elimination rounds rather than the slow and research based selection ones! The WAF Award is that rare award which rewards and recognises the best people behind the best products and companies based on thorough research.

<title>Bajaj Finance Offers Instant Gold Loans with Multiple Repayment Options</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-offers-instant-gold-loans-with-multiple-repayment-options</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/bajaj-finance-offers-instant-gold-loans-with-multiple-repayment-options</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Applying for loans can often be a time-consuming and challenging process, requiring extensive paperwork, branches visits, and multiple application formalities. However, Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan provides a hassle-free solution with a simple and fast application and disbursal process. 


	
	Borrowers can easily get a gold loan starting from Rs. 5,000 up to Rs. 2 crore, with the funds being disbursed within as little as 15 minutes. Customers can apply online with just their name, 10-digit mobile number, and OTP. Multiple repayment options with tenures of up to 12 months also make it easy to manage repayment schedules. Gold loans can be the ideal choice for borrowers in need of quick funds.


	
	Here&#039;s a closer look at some of the key benefits of a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan.


	
	Low interest rate
	One of the biggest benefits of a gold loan is that the interest rates are usually lower compared to unsecured loans like personal loans. This is because the gold pledged by borrowers serves as security for the lender. This lowers the lenders risk, allowing them to offer lower interest rates. Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan interest rate start from 9.50% per annum, making it an attractive option for obtaining funds. 


	
	Multiple repayment options
	Bajaj Finance also provides customers with a great deal of flexibility when it comes to repayment. Borrowers are free to choose how and when to repay the loan. One option is to pay the entire interest amount at the start of the loan tenure and settle the remaining principal at the end. They can also opt to pay the interest either monthly, bimonthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually.


	
	No income proof or CIBIL Score check
	The best part about gold loans is that borrowers do not need to have a good CIBIL Score or credit history to avail them. The reason is simple - since the loan is secured by gold jewellery, the lender has a form of collateral to recover the amount in case the borrower defaults. To be eligible for a loan, applicants just need to own jewellery made of 22-karat gold. 


	
	Additionally, borrowers do not need to submit any income proof. Any one of the following KYC documents is enough - Aadhaar Card, voter ID card, passport, or driving licence. 
	
	 


	


	What makes gold loan a smart choice for quick finance | Bajaj Finserv ​

	Transparent evaluation
	When it comes to gold loans, transparency is key. Bajaj Finance uses top-of-the-range karat metres to ensure borrowers receive maximum value for their gold. The pledged gold jewellery is stored in highly secure vaults under 24x7 surveillance. 
	
	How to apply for a gold loan from Bajaj Finserv
	Any Indian citizen aged between 21 years and 70 years with basic KYC papers easily avail of a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan. 


	
	Applying for a gold loan is convenient and can be done in two ways. The first option is to visit a nearby Bajaj Finance branch and apply in person. Alternatively, borrowers can save time and apply from the comfort of their own home by visiting the Bajaj Finance website and following a few simple steps.

	Step 3: Fill in your first and last name as it appears on your PAN card.
	Step 4: Enter your 10-digit mobile number and select your city. 
	Step 5: Enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number and submit the application.

<title>Maximise your returns with Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit with interest rates of up to 8.20% p.a.</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	A fixed deposit (FD) is one instrument that offers secured returns on your deposit. This is because it is unaffected by market movements. Banks, Post offices, and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) all offer FD. Since bank and post office FD are backed by the government, the risk is almost non-existent in this case. However, with company FD, along with higher interest rates a little risk might be involved. Since safety is of paramount importance when you think of investing your hard-earned money in financial tools, you must choose wisely. Hence, choosing an FD with the right safety ratings is necessary.


	 


	Here are more reasons to why you must open a Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit.


	 


	High FD rates


	You can earn up to 8.20% p.a. on your deposits with Bajaj Finance. Being the highest-rated NBFC Bajaj Finance offers higher FD rates resulting in a more substantial yield at maturity. You can even use the online FD calculator to estimate your returns even before you choose to invest in an FD.


	 


	Given below is a table showing the returns that you can get by investing in a Bajaj Finance FD.

<title>Indian Entrepreneurs in Germany gets Euro 5 Million to Pave Way for AI in Sustainable Manufacturing</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Tvarit, a Frankfurt-based startup, is on a journey to enable zero-waste manufacturing. Tvarit has closed its funding round, led by Momenta and Futury Capital, to enable AI-powered, waste-free, and energy-efficient metal manufacturing. The round also included a significant re-investment by existing investor Matterwave Ventures. The World Economic Forum estimates that industrial waste accounts for half of all waste generated globally. Manufacturing is the largest and fastest-growing contributor to this waste stream, with an estimated 20% of every dollar spent on manufacturing producing waste. Tvarit estimates that the metals industry loses Euro 160 billion annually.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Rahul Prajapat, an IIT Bombay alumni (Right), Suhas Patel, a serial entrepreneur (Left)


	 


	Focusing on the metal manufacturing processes such as casting, hot forming, welding etc, Tvarit offers a hybrid AI solution, first-of-its-kind, that combines deep metal processing domain knowledge with data-driven AI to provide continuous, accurate prescriptions and actionable insights to help the machine operators achieve higher productivity. 


	 


	Founded in 2019 by Rahul Prajapat (an IIT Bombay alumni) alongwith Suhas Patel (a serial entrepreneur based out of Germany), Tvarit Industrial AI can reduce manufacturing quality defects (scrap) by 50% and reduce energy costs by up to 30%. These savings are very significant for the metal industry as their profit margins are only 5-8%, so with Tvarit&#039;s help profit margins can be significantly increased. Furthermore, since metal manufacturing processes are quite energy-intensive, customers are not only able to improve their profit margins but also significantly reduce their carbon footprint.


	 


	Rahul Prajapat, Founder and Managing Director at Tvarit, &quot;Metal manufacturing shop floors are very complex.&quot; Even in state-of-the-art machineries, there are multiple settings which require adaptation dynamically, to achieve the highest productivity/profitability and sustainability. AI based self-learning systems can learn these dynamic patterns much more effectively as compared to traditional physics-based simulation approaches. &quot;AI is the only way to eliminate waste on the shop floor.&quot;


	 


	Ken Foster, Executive Director at lead investor Momenta, &quot;Manufacturers in Europe are dealing with the dual challenges of the energy transition and carbon neutral goals.&quot; Tvarit&#039;s AI tools enable them to do both, driving precision manufacturing techniques to help maintain their global competitive advantage. Momenta is proud to lead the investment round in a company that is driving such &quot;Industry 5.0&quot; outcomes.


	 


	According to Tvarit&#039;s founders, Momenta&#039;s strategic network, value creation expertise, and deep experience gained over three decades of investing in rapidly growing digital industry companies will accelerate Tvarits journey to make metal manufacturing zero-waste and more sustainable.


	 


	Benjamin Krahmer, Managing Partner at Futury Capital, &quot;We have been fortunate enough to invest with our early-stage fund in Tvarits early days. With Tvarits recent significant growth, its superior AI, and its deep industry know-how, we are excited to further invest with our Growth Fund, enabling Tvarit to accelerate even stronger.&quot;


	 


	Robert Gallenberger, Partner at Matterwave Ventures, &quot;We are excited to welcome sector specialist Momenta and the growth fund of Futury Capital to the shareholder group. Our strong follow-on investment demonstrates our commitment to support Tvarit on its journey to build the future of metal manufacturing.&quot;


	 


	This investment will accelerate Tvarit&#039;s technology development and global presence.

	Olir Enables TN Startups to Accelerate Commercialisation of Product Ideas at TIDCO&#039;s CoE


	 


	Olir witnessed the signing of MoUs between 14 startups and TANCAM, a Centre of Excellence established by TIDCO in association with Dassault Systemes. TANCAM provides a dedicated platform that involves 3D modeling, Simulation, Digital Manufacturing, and Product Life cycle Management to support startups, MSMEs and students across Tamil Nadu to design, test, and develop their product ideas in a range of high-tech industries.


	 


	The startups who participated at Olir represented a wide range of high-tech industries that included deep tech, advanced manufacturing, robotics, ecommerce, aerospace &amp; defence, agritech, biotech, medtech, healthtech, edtech, fintech, and spacetech. During the TANCAM tour, participants were given a demonstration of the centre&#039;s 3DEXPERIENCE platform, a collaborative 3D modeling and simulation application, for product design and testing.

	In his keynote address, Mr. Krishnan, highlighted that the intra-connect within government departments and the inter-connect with private sector has been improving and expressed confidence that initiatives like &#039;Olir&#039; will carry forward this momentum resulting in better outcomes for all the stakeholders.


	 


	Noting that Tamil Nadu is fundamentally a manufacturing State, he stressed the importance of sustaining leadership and innovating in manufacturing especially in the current landscape where the trend is moving towards reshoring of manufacturing. He highlighted how manufacturing startups are different from other sectors and for whom the common facilities and Centre of Excellences will be significant leverage.


	 


	The Founders, Co-founders and CXOs of high-tech startups appreciated the organisers for providing an opportunity for them to meet up and explore multiple possibilities to accelerate their design, prototype, development, testing and go-to market approaches. And out of those 250 startups visited, 7 have signed MoUs with TANCAM on the same day, who are from various domains such as advanced manufacturing, robotics, Space tech, Electric vehicle, and Agritech. As per the MoUs signed, TANCAM will understand their product requirements (New product Development / Product enhancements) and will shape them with highest precision using Dassault Systemes 3DEXPERIENCE platform.


	 


	3DEXPERIENCE portfolio solutions are enabling innovators across the globe to work together and share meaningful causes, goals and visions in a network effect that amplifies an individual&#039;s impact on innovation and job creation and their contribution to healthy and sustainable economies.

The 3DEXPERIENCE platform unifies design and engineering across enterprises in a single digital environment connecting the multiple disciplines involved in the development of a project. The startup teams can seamlessly collaborate, design and engineer in real time - from anywhere at any time - share their diverse knowledge and know-how, improve product traceability, and reduce costs.


	 


	The 3DEXPERIENCE platform brings value to startups which can accelerate their role in this shift by imagining new vehicle concepts and validating feasibility faster. This facilitates long-term growth as electric vehicle adoption advances.


	 


	The journey from ideation to creation starts when startups are free to imagine how things could be, instead of how they are. When they possess tools such as 3DEXPERIENCE platform, they enable them to imagine collaboratively. Collaboration and creativity become one, creating the dream product of aspiring startups and propel them to progress forward.

Year after year, we have witnessed new-age artists leaving a remarkable mark in the industry. Living his dream, debutant actor Rohit Raaj is set to enter Bollywood with the film &#039;Mystery of the Tattoo&#039;.

The crime thriller will see Rohit essaying the role of a barrister who solves a 20-year-old murder case through his sharpness and the intervention of the police.
	
	For Rohit, acting has always been his passion. Since childhood, he dreamt to appear on the big screen. Now that he is a step closer to his dream, he is ensuring to give his 100% for his debut film. An engineer by qualification in the field of IT, Rohit Raaj has earlier worked as a child artist in TV soaps and other commercials.
	
	On realising his calling to become an actor, Raaj mastered the Meisner Technique of acting; one of the prolific tools an actor can learn to improve the craft.

Arjun sir has constantly supported me throughout the shooting of the film.&quot;
	
	In addition, Rohit Raaj expressed his gratitude towards producers for giving him a breakthrough in the industry. Before getting into mainstream cinema, Raaj trained in acting at Barry John Acting School in Mumbai and Adishakti Theatre Arts in Pondicherry. Directed by Kalairasi Sathappan, &#039;Mystery of the Tattoo&#039; is produced by Monarch Group and Mahadevan Ganesh.
	
	Along with acting, Rohit Raaj is equally investing his time in health and fitness. He has imbibed discipline within him and calls it an integral part of his lifestyle. On a concluding note, the actor stated that he has a lot of expectations, and he is sure that the film will convey a powerful message to the audience.

<title>45% Property Seekers in NCR &amp;amp; 32% in MMR Prefer to Buy 3BHKs &#45; CII&#45;ANAROCK Report</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			Millennials continue to drive housing demand; in the reports survey segment, 52% participating property investors were millennials
	
	
		
			End-user - investor ratio at 71:29; of all surveyed end-users, over 77% are millennials
	
	
		
			58% surveyed home seekers looking to buy property priced b/w INR 45 lakh to INR 1.5 Cr
	
	
		
			96% surveyed buyers confirm that further home loan rate hike will affect housing demand
	
	
		
			At least 36% respondents prefer a home that will be ready within a year
	



	 


	The consumer sentiment for bigger homes continues unabated. Out of a total of 4,662 survey participants, 42% currently prefer 3BHKs, finds the CII-ANAROCK report The Housing Market Boom&#039; released at the 5th Edition of the CII Real Estate Confluence 2023 in Mumbai, where ANAROCK was Knowledge Partner, today. 40% of the surveyed participants prefer 2BHKs, 12% will opt for 1BHK, and 6% seeks homes exceeding the 3BHK configuration.


	 


	The two realty hotspots NCR and MMR have seen particularly strong momentum in the sale of high-ticket bigger homes over the last few quarters, finds the report. Over 45% property seekers in NCR are looking to buy 3BHK homes in the near future. In the expensive MMR, 2BHKs appear to dominate the preference charts of 43% of respondents in this region, but over 32% buyers there are looking to buy 3BHKs.


	                                                                                                      


	The report highlights the overall sentiments of buyers amid current headwinds including another possible rate hike by the RBI in the near future. If that happens, housing sales momentum in the top 7 cities may well be in for a bumpy ride as at least 96% prospective buyers state that higher home loan rates will affect their homebuying decisions in the future.


	 


	For over 80% property seekers, prices remain an important factor as apart from home loan rates, the basic cost of property has been on the rise in the last one year.


	 


	ANAROCK data reveals that average property prices across the top 7 cities increased in the range of 6-9% in Q1 2023 when compared to Q1 2022, mainly due to an increase in the prices of construction raw materials and overall rise in demand. MMR and Bangalore recorded the highest 9% annual jump.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Anuj Puri, Chairman - CII Real Estate Confluence 2023 &amp; Chairman - ANAROCK Group


	 


	Anuj Puri, Chairman - CII Real Estate Confluence 2023 &amp; Chairman - ANAROCK Group, says, &quot;Rate hikes are just part of the overall demand scenario. Recent layoffs by both large and small corporates are likely to have at least some impact on the demand in the upcoming two quarters, and dent growth in the housing market. Many homebuyers impacted by layoffs may defer homebuying decisions until their employment situation stabilizes. Nevertheless, buying homes remains the top priority for everyone.&quot;


	 


	Currently, inflation is high and the state of the global economy directly or indirectly impacts housing demand in India. However, whatever demand gets deferred will be a temporary dynamic.  &quot;There are high chances that by FY25, the current turbulence will have passed and the housing market will bounce back,&quot; says Puri. &quot;Deferred demand is just that - it is put on hold, not destroyed.&quot;


	 


	The report further finds that millennials continue to drive housing demand. Of total participants that chose real estate as an asset class for investment, at least 52% were millennials who are mainly looking to buy homes for self-use. End-users still dominate Indian housing market, with end-user vs investor ratio at 71:29. Of the total surveyed end-users, over 77% are millennials.


	 


	At least 36% respondents are zeroing in on homes that will be ready for possession within a year, and 58% want to buy properties priced within INR 40 lakh to INR 1.5 Cr.


	 


	Apart from price points and basic amenities in a project, the surveyed buyers are now focused on three primary aspects - timely project completion assurance, the availability of a study room, and adequate ventilation in the property. Over 90% of the surveyed homebuyers will not compromise on timely project completion, 62% insist on well-ventilated homes, and another 55% respondents consider a study room indispensable. It is evident that the Covid-19 pandemic has left a lasting impact on homebuyer preferences.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Infor, the industry cloud company, today announced that Scandi Standard has chosen Infor CloudSuite Food &amp; Beverage to consolidate and standardize its core processes such as purchasing, processing, logistics and finance. The suite will be delivered as a multi-tenant cloud solution powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS).


	 


	Scandi Standard is a leading producer of chilled, frozen, and ready-made chicken products in the Nordics and Ireland, as well as selling eggs in Norway. In its production, Scandi Standard cares about the highest standards for quality, innovation, and sustainability. Scandi Standard has operations in five countries and sales in over 40 through subsidiaries such as Danpo, Den Stolte Hane, Kronfgel, Manor Farm and Naapurin Maalaiskana. Scandi Standards existing business systems lacked the industry adaptation needed to ensure that the ERP (enterprise resource planning) solution could support all core processes in a harmonized way within the group and contribute to further increasing the ability and pace of change in the business. With a standardized platform, Scandi Standard also sees an opportunity to more quickly introduce new technologies into the group and future-proof its development.


	 


	&quot;Our value chain is quite similar in all markets where we operate, which means that we see an opportunity to standardize our processes as far as possible in the industry-adapted solution that Infor has,&quot; says Gran Matz, Scandi Standard&#039;s Group CIO. &quot;The move to a new business system is, to a large extent, a process of change. With an industry-specific business system in the cloud, the introduction is facilitated while at the same time we get support with updates and best practices for the food industry.&quot;


	 


	After a procurement process, the group chose Infor CloudSuite Food &amp; Beverage. A multi-tenant cloud deployment was a deciding factor in Scandi Standards decision, ensuring the business can benefit from continuous updates with minimal administrative burden on the internal IT team.


	 


	&quot;For our core processes such as purchasing, logistics and finance, there is really no reason for us to do anything differently than other companies in our industry do, but rather is something we see can be harmonized advantageously within the group where possible,&quot; Matz says. &quot;With Infor, we now get the uniformity we were looking for with a supplier of an ecosystem and a future-proof product.&quot;

<title>SGA PR Launches &amp;apos;ProTeen&amp;apos; &#45; India&amp;apos;s First Cohort Communications Program for Early&#45;age Startups Partners with FAAD Network for Maiden Batch</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	New-age communications consultancy SGA PR announces the launch of Indias first Cohort Communications Program - ProTeen. The program is designed to empower early-age startups to communicate with their stakeholders and build their brand story while optimizing their marketing spends. The maiden cohort of the bespoke startup-only initiative has been launched with FAAD Network, a community of over 1600+ angels, high net-worth individuals and venture capitalists across India, Singapore, Dubai, the US, the UK, and Canada. The network has invested in 70+ startups.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Rahul Jain, Partner &amp; Joint CEO at SGA PR
	 


	ProTeen is unique in its construct as it deploys the &#039;power of collective&#039; by bringing a group of young entrepreneurs together to navigate their entrepreneurial journey. Backed by SGA PR&#039;s philosophy of being an invested partner in the startup ecosystem, it offers a never before proposition for early-stage businesses.
	 


	Rahul Jain, Partner &amp; Joint CEO at SGA PR said, &quot;India is the third largest startup ecosystem, and on average at least 2 to 3 startups are founded every day. Most of the founders focus on developing the product and technology and often fail to communicate their story to the external ecosystem. We have seen many good business models close prematurely because they could not develop the right narrative for their products and services. After watching the ecosystem closely for a decade now, we believe that this gap needs to be addressed.&quot;
	 


	Karan Verma, Co-founder &amp; Director of FAAD Network said, &quot;FAAD Network is committed to supporting the growth and success of our community of founders. We are thrilled to be the first to launch ProTeen along with SGA PR. ProTeen will democratize storytelling for every founder trying to contribute to the digital story of India.&quot;
	 


	The leadership team at SGA PR has a combined experience of 100 years in building brands from pre-seed to unicorn. With the launch of ProTeen, SGA PR is poised to become the go-to communications consultancy for startups in India.
	 


	Earlier this year FAAD Network received the approval from the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to launch a Rs. 300 crore category-I alternative investment fund (AIF).

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The landscape of corporate responsibility has shifted dramatically in recent years. Leading brands today are pursuing ambitious Net Zero goals, recognizing the crucial role of energy in their sustainability journey. As a result, organizations are not only striving to reduce their carbon footprint, but also driving change and inspiring others to join them in this effort.


	 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	CXOs convene at the Net Zero Chiefs Roundtable


	 


	Recognizing this, Blue Circle, a professional networking startup, in partnership with Log9 Materials, a leading deep-tech startup hosted Net Zero Chiefs under the theme, &#039;Leveraging clean energy in the journey towards Net Zero&#039;.


	 


	A total of 20 attendees from well-known brands such as Tata Motors, Godrej Group, SUN Pharma, Welspun Group, Bira91, Zydus Wellness, Dalmia Bharat Group, Marico Limited, Emami Group, Flipkart, JSW Cement, Omega Seiki Mobility, ŠKODA AUTO Volkswagen India, Blue Circle, and Log9 Materials participated in the Roundtable Discussion.


	
	The discussion was moderated by Dr. Akshay Singhal, Founder and CEO of Log9 Materials. The participants shared their experiences and ideas on how to achieve net-zero status in their respective industries, covering topics such as renewable energy, sustainable transportation, and circular economy.
	 


	&quot;Net Zero Chiefs is a one-of-a-kind gathering that provides a confluence of thought leaders who are leading the way in sustainability across mobility, supply chain &amp; energy storage solutions. We are overwhelmed with the response to its first edition and thank Log9 Materials &amp; all Key Stakeholders for making it a success,&quot; said Goutam Anand, Co-founder, Blue Circle.


	 


	The agenda of Net Zero Chiefs focused and revolved around topics such as the role of logistics, EVs and last mile mobility in cutting down emissions, scope towards electrifying material handling equipments, key technologies used for Energy storage in offices &amp; factories, investments in renewable energy &amp; and challenges faced in adopting cleantech technologies.


	 


	&quot;Climate change is evolving as a daunting challenge globally and the time to act on it is NOW. We are glad to partner with Blue Circle to host Net Zero Chiefs, a consortium of leaders from renowned brands that have committed themselves to achieving Net Zero Goals. At Log9, it has been our pursuit to Pioneer Responsible Energy and we are confident this initiative will bring about a positive impact on the ecosystem,&quot; said Dr. Akshay Singhal, Founder and CEO, Log9 Materials.


	 


	Jyotin Kutty Sastabhavan, Chief Sustainability Officer, Tata Motors, said, &quot;Decarbonizing the supply chain may not be as challenging as we anticipate, as there are various approaches and strategies available. To make it manageable, we can aim to reduce our carbon emissions by 5% each year over the next 20 years, instead of achieving 100% reduction right away. A great way to solve scope1 emissions is to electrify everything first. Do it without too much thought and then convert that electricity into green.&quot;


	 


	Ram Vaidyanathan, Head - Environmental Sustainability at Godrej Industries Ltd. and Associate Companies noted, &quot;While India is one of the best countries in the world to utilize the potential of Renewable energy, regulations in India do need to change. If you see most of the places that we are stuck in are because of local regulations. There is no alignment between the center regulations and state regulations. We also need to get out of the fixation of decimal level data points when it comes to Scope 3 emissions.&quot;
	
	The exclusive Roundtable brought together eminent industry leaders and change makers from India&#039;s biggest corporations including Jyotin Kutty Sastabhavan, CSO, Tata Motors; Ram Vaidyanathan, Head - Environmental Sustainability, Godrej Industries Ltd. and Associate Companies Godrej Group; Sudhir Jain, SVP Manufacturing &amp; Sustainability, BIRA 91; Vickram Srivastava, Head of Planning - Global Supply Chain, SUN Pharma; Alok Mishra, Vice President and Group Head - Sustainability, Welspun Group; Manoj Kothari, Vice President Supply Chain, Zydus Wellness; Dr. Arvind Bodhankar, Executive Director &amp; Chief Risk Officer, Dalmia Bharat Group; Bipin Odhekar, Head - Sustainability, EHS &amp; Operations Excellence, Marico Limited; Ankur Chaturvedi, Associate Vice President - Excellence &amp; Quality and Atul Singh, Vice President-CSR, Emami Group; Hemant Badri, SVP, Group Head of Supply Chain &amp; Customer Experience, Flipkart; Manoj Rustagi, Chief Sustainability and Innovation Officer, JSW Cement; Uday Narang, Chairman, Omega Seiki Mobility; Sanjay Khare, Vice President - Safety &amp; Sustainability Strategy, ŠKODA AUTO Volkswagen India; Dr. Akshay Singhal, Founder &amp; CEO, Log 9 Materials.

<title>Nysha Mobility Tech Raises USD 3.5 Million in Seed Funding, to Bridge EV Supply Chain Gap with Growth Capital</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			Seed funding round has been led by Touchstone Ventures, Panthera Peak Capital, along with family offices and angel investors
	
	
		
			With its newly launched factory, Nysha Mobility Tech focuses on Made in India components to cater to the EV industry​
	



	 


	EV components start-up, Nysha Mobility Tech (NMT), has raised $3.5 million in its seed funding round. A combination of equity and debt, the seed round saw participation from Touchstone Ventures, Panthera Peak Capital, and select family offices and angel investors. In addition to capital expenditure, the funds will be used towards developing cutting-edge technology to optimize the manufacturing process, R&amp;D of EV components, as well as the use of IoT and AI in manufacturing. At present, the company has onboarded over 40 customers including Pranav Vikas, SUN Mobility, Ola Electric, IGOWISE and Virya Mobility. NMT targets to onboard over 100 customers in 2023.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Sandeep Maini inaugurating Nysha Mobility factory in Bangalore


	 


	Yesterday, NMT celebrated the inauguration of its first manufacturing facility located in Nelamangala, Karnataka, for making cables and harnesses that will be used across battery packs, charging and battery swapping infrastructures, and vehicles. The factory was inaugurated by Sandeep Maini, Chairman, Maini Group, with Chetan Maini, Co-Founder and Chairman, SUN Mobility, Nikhil Bhandarkar, Founder of Panthera Peak Capital, and K Srinivas, Executive Director - Pranav Vikas addressing the gathering. Among the guests were Niranjan Shah, Ex-Managing Director, Molex India, Manoj Chaturvedi, Ex-Director Epcos and Siemens, and representatives from Ather, Micelio, Virya, NDS Motors and Violin Technologies.


	 


	Siddharth Jain, Founder, and CEO of NMT welcomed the gathering. He brings over 25 years of experience in the EV components and manufacturing space. During the inauguration, the entrepreneur spoke about the supply chain issues around imports of EV components that the industry is facing. Commenting on the occasion, he said, &quot;While the automotive industry is undergoing a rapid global transformation, the supply chain has not been able to keep up to its pace. The burgeoning landscape of OEMs and upcoming start-ups need state-of-the-art EV components to meet market needs speedily and effectively. At Nysha, we are addressing the supply chain axis with our unique and agile solutions and engineering capabilities. We have witnessed steady success in this endeavor, with growth in our customer base and OEMs and startups considering us as their partner from &#039;design to delivery&#039;. They are increasingly relying on us to launch products in a short span of time without worrying about inventory.&quot; 


	 


	&quot;The structure of global supply chains is changing, and India finds itself as the primary beneficiary of this shift. We believe Nysha is uniquely positioning itself to take advantage of this change and become a market leader in the EV component space. With the current pipeline of clients and Nysha&#039;s R&amp;D and proprietary technology, the coming years for the company will be exciting,&quot; says Nikhil Bhandarkar, Founder of Panthera Peak Capital. 


	 


	NMT believes in continuously improving and transforming processes by digitizing them in order to produce market-relevant solutions for their customers.


	 


	&quot;In a rapidly evolving industry like this, it is crucial to assess your product and offerings to ensure its continued relevance for the present and future,&quot; said Sandeep Maini, Chairman of Maini Group. &quot;As several players enter the EV field amidst the ongoing supply chain challenges, the time is ripe for more localized component manufacturers to disrupt the market. With advanced engineering solutions in play, companies like Nysha Mobility Tech will play a key role in easing the worry of inventory. I heartily congratulate the team on inaugurating its first manufacturing facility in Bangalore,&quot; he added.


	 


	The EV market in India is growing exponentially year-on-year, with sales surpassing 1 million units for the first time in 2022. With the scope to cater to a growing electric mobility industry, Nysha Mobility will also be expanding its product line in Phase 2 to include charging connectors, charging guns, and charging stations. The company aims to grow with the industry, building the capability to cater to the growing gaps and needs in the supply chain.


	 


	About Nysha Mobility Tech


	Founded by Siddharth Jain in April 2022, Nysha Mobility Tech (NMT) aims to transform the EV manufacturing ecosystem in India by helping address challenges currently faced by manufacturers in the ecosystem. These include combating extreme weather conditions, and high current requirements in conjunction with minimal space, which would lead to a tight bending radius and vibrations in vehicles.

<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/lt-finance-employees-walk-towards-good-health-with-stepathon-challenge</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Setting an example of excellence in teamwork, employees of L&amp;T Finance Limited (LTF), a subsidiary of L&amp;T Finance Holdings Limited and one of the leading Non-Banking Financial Companies, have walked a total of 27.6 crore steps, covering 1.9 lakh kilometers in a 60-day fitness Stepathon challenge.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Mr. Dinanath Dubhashi, Managing Director &amp; CEO, L&amp;T Finance Holdings Ltd. with the winners of LTF Stepathon challenge


	 


	As a part of the challenge, 670 employees based out of the Kalina, Mumbai office, who were divided into 67 teams, competed to take the highest steps during the 60 days of the competition. The objective of the LTF Stepathon challenge was to promote a healthy and active lifestyle among its employees while simultaneously encouraging teamwork.


	 


	The company honored the top two teams with the highest number of steps and also felicitated those who lost maximum weight during this period. Weekly winners were also recognised who took the highest number of steps during the challenge.


	 


	Addressing the participants at the culmination of the LTF Stepathon challenge, Mr. Dinanath Dubhashi, Managing Director &amp; CEO of L&amp;T Finance Holdings Ltd. said, &quot;While the challenge was mainly aimed at promoting a healthier and more active lifestyle among our employees, it has also demonstrated the importance of teamwork and situational leadership. The teams which won had immaculately planned their daily, weekly, and monthly targets to remain at the top. Their execution was flawless with clear targets assigned to each member and every member displaying exemplary discipline in achieving their targets. We declared weekly winners during the span of the competition but the fact that there were no weekly winners in the top two teams just goes on to show the immense importance of teamwork over individual performance. I&#039;m sure all of us will apply the learnings from this activity to our journey towards Lakshya 2026.&quot;

<description><![CDATA[ 
	It can often be a difficult and time-consuming process to apply for a loan of any kind. One has to collect all relevant documents, visit branches of lenders, and finish application procedures before even knowing the eligibility for a personal loan. To solve these issues, Bajaj Finance Limited has introduced the Insta Personal Loan to offer an industry-leading, comfortable borrowing experience for customers. An Insta Personal Loan provides up to Rs. 10 lakh in funding, with the money being disbursed within just 30 minutes to 4 hours. Existing customers receive pre-approved offers while new customers can instantly generate an offer for themselves with the help of their mobile number and OTP. Flexible tenures ranging from 6 to 60 months also make it easy to manage repayment schedules. Insta Personal Loan can be the ideal choice for borrowers in need of quick funds. Here&#039;s a closer look at some of the key benefits of an Insta Personal Loan.

		Step 2: Choose investor profile.
		Since FD rates vary for senior citizens and citizens aged below 60, choose the investor profile. Senior citizens get up to 0.25% p.a. more on base rates.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The times have changed, and its no longer sufficient for a brand to solely concentrate on its product. In todays world, brands must also prioritize digital marketing, digital sales, and digital customer service, in addition to physical distribution, warehousing, and logistics. Brands now require collaboration with almost 10 different partners to handle various aspects of their ecommerce value chain. This includes tech agencies, marketing firms, and warehouse operators. Tradexa, a startup based in Pune, has developed a platform that consolidates all these diverse elements with a technology-based approach and deep expertise.


	 


	Ramesh Jhajharia founded Tradexa in 2019 with a clear objective: to assist brands, retailers, and distributors in selling both online and offline with minimal investment and hassle through a cutting-edge technology platform. The companys vision is aligned with the Digital India initiative.


	 


	Jhajharias extensive experience in developing highly scalable technologies, as well as his participation on the technical steering committee of blockchain technology Hyperledger, led him to consider using blockchain to create a network of distributors, retailers and brands. However, he soon discovered that the industry required technology support that could enable people to sell both online and offline and that blockchain was not yet necessary. With this in mind, he founded Tradexa in May 2019 and began collaborating with Indias largest distribution networks.


	 


	&quot;Today we have the capability to digitalize any retailer across different industries in just one hour and enable brands scale 3-5 times in just 3 months. Traditional retailers and distributors struggle to understand eCommerce and its requirements. We offer a solution that lets them sell their products online and offline without all the technical hassle. They can start in an hour with our latest technology for just Rs 5,000. We innovate and experiment. Our partners need only to sell,&quot; says Jhajharia. 


	 


	In addition to providing a platform for brands, Tradexa also allows retailers to sell directly through their marketplace with minimal or nominal margins. Tradexa fulfills all orders received on their marketplace through their retail partners. At a cost of only Rs. 20,000 per month, Tradexa offers a range of services that includes store management, digital marketing, digital advertising, product information management, social media management, SEO, graphic design, and customer engagement. It claims to be entering a new industry every 2 months and has the capability to digitalize up to 5000 retailers every 3 months.


	 


	The period between March and May 2020 was Tradexas most difficult time because of the uncertainty brought about by the first wave of COVID-19 and the nationwide lockdown. &quot;COVID-19 had a significant effect on the economy and caused the shutdown of some sectors but it also contributed to the growth of e-commerce and the popularity of digital transactions. It also gave another perspective to the retailer, brands and distributors on the importance of digitization. COVID accelerated digitization and it benefitted companies like ours,&quot; Jhajharia says.


	 


	&quot;These challenging times have reaffirmed the validity of our vision and strategy. At Tradexa, we see ourselves as a dynamic learning organization, committed to providing our employees with valuable experiences that surpass those offered by other companies. We are proud to say that after just two years with us, our employees will have gained significant expertise and knowledge,&quot; the Founder says.


	 


	Tradexa currently manages the entire eCommerce operations for numerous billion-dollar international brands. They also operate two industry-specific marketplaces, boasting an impressive 90% onboard rate for participating brands. At present, the company generates an annual revenue of Rs. 10 crore. However, they aim to leverage their marketplaces, platform, and additional services to increase their revenue to Rs. 800 crore over the next five years.


	 


	Tradexa relies on three types of IT systems to enhance the eCommerce experience for consumers: transaction processing systems, decision support systems, and decision automation systems. In terms of operations, Tradexa provides a range of services such as product information management, inventory management, accounting, webstore management, payment processing, and shipping and logistics management. Additionally, they offer marketing solutions that include dynamic webstores, auto SEO, AI-powered customer query response system, Facebook catalog, Google shopping and advertising system, as well as transaction and promotional communication through email, SMS, and WhatsApp. To support decision-making, Tradexa employs an AI-based recommendation system that analyzes key aspects of a brand such as products, inventory, pricing, marketing budget, sales, buyers and pr ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Planify has recently opened its doors to bring onboard the rapidly emerging star in the Crude Coal tar Industry, VCI Chemical Industries.


	 


	Planify is the biggest platform that connects entrepreneurs with investors for hassle-free equity fundraising. Planify is actively working in Seed, Pre-Series A, and Series A Funding for the startups and helps raise between Rs. 1 Cr. to Rs. 50 Cr. for their ventures respectively. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Shubham Gupta CEO VCI Chemical Industries


	 


	Planify-backed Startups have a portfolio valuation of over Rs. 1600 Cr. across 6 companies.


	 


	VCI Chemicals is involved in the production of specialty chemicals products i.e. Coal Tar Pitch (commonly known as CTP) and high-grade Distillates. The company has a 1.1 Lakh MTPA Coal tar Distillery on 31.1-acre land in Kalinganagar, Orissa. CTP is a key ingredient used in the Aluminium smelter industry.


	 


	The company aims to substitute 20%-25% of the CTP requirement in the Middle Eastern market which currently relies 100% on Chinese imports.


	 


	Current Scenario of the Carbon Specialty Chemicals Industry


	 


	Demand - Supply Gap of Coal Tar Pitch in Middle East Countries: 


	
		
			Demand: CTP demand of the Middle-east Market (2nd Globally) is at 5,70,000 TPA (Tonne per Annum) (estimated to be ~ 8,00,000 TPA by FY27).
	
	
		
			Supply: 55,000 TPA of this demand would be met by VCI.
	
	
		
			Demand - Supply Gap of High-Grade Distillates in India: Current demand for high-grade distillates in India is at ~ 23,000TPA. 8,000 TPA of this demand would be met by VCI.
	
	
		
			Security of Demand: Domestic market aluminium production is estimated to have doubled to 40 LTPA between FY15-FY22 and is expected to reach 60 LTPA by FY27 thus ensuring the security of demand.
	
	
		
			High Capital Intensive: The specialty chemicals projects require high upfront capex. One requires at least. Rs. 150 Cr - Rs. 200 Cr to set up and run the unit.
	
	
		
			High Entry Barriers: The use of complex chemical technology pose an Entry Barrier for new entrants.
	



	 


	This brings us to the question &#039;Why VCI&#039; There would surely be other players in the industry who can meet demand, both domestic and international. 


	
		
			VCI is substituting up to 20% dependency of the middle-east Aluminium industry on Chinese monopoly by becoming long term (8+ years) strategic supplier of CTP (worth Rs. 300+ Cr.) to leaders of GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council).
	
	
		
			Initiatives from GoI to promote transparency and time-bound clearances &amp; incentives (Land, Capital, Power, Tax) will promote a conducive business environment. VCI is estimated to gain Rs. 10 Cr. annually through government schemes like Invest in Orissa, and Go Swift (Single Window clearance portal).
	
	
		
			The company&#039;s operations are envisaged to enjoy tremendous locational advantage since 67% of the plant feedstock (Crude Coal Tar) will be sourced from steel plants within 120 km &amp; hence has the lowest inbound cost of any domestic competitors. The company has MoU with TATA Steel for the same. Feedstock Security is 3x+ in FY22.
	
	
		
			The plant is situated in a highly industrialized area of 1000 acres belonging to the Industrial Development Authority of Orissa &amp; henceforth operations are expected to be hassle-free from local hassles. Ample availability of coal and private, as well as government electricity feeders, will ensure 100% uptime of power.
	
	
		
			The company is well connected to diverse logistic channels with connections to Paradip port (120 km), railways (10 km), and National Highway 215 (1 km). This is also expected to facilitate connectivity to nearby ports for exports.
	



	 


	Traction


	
		
			VCI has signed long-term contracts (8+ years) with industry veterans like EGA (UAE), ALBA (Bahrain), Sohar (Oman), Maaden (Saudi Arabia), and Qatalum (Qatar) aims to be a strategic supplier of Coal Tar Pitch.
	
	
		
			A significant share of high-yield distillates produced will be utilized in synergies of VCI Group to cater to its brownfield expansion, thus adding to the value chain.
	
	
		
			87% of the top line is secured.
	



	 


	VCI Chemical Industries Management


	Management of the company is in secured and experienced hands of Vikrant Group. This is a 3rd generation business running under the brands of &quot;Dr. Phenyl&quot; (Disinfectant &amp; HCP Business is being carried over 50+ years and the management is ethical &amp; responsible.


	 


	Shubham Gupta, Director of VCI Chemical Industries graduated from Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) as a B. Tech Chemical Engineer. He did an internship at Rashtriya ISPAT Nigam Limited, a coal chemical division &amp; TEVA Pharmaceuticals API division. He joined Vikrant Group in 2010 &amp; since then has undertaken 2 greenfield projects &amp; 1 brownfield expansion project.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	KlarifyLife, an initiative by HDFC Life, has launched &#039;Term Guide&#039;, a customised solution that aims to simplify the decision-making process for customers while purchasing term insurance. It also works as an aid for customers who are in the process of re-evaluating their term insurance needs.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Vineet Arora, Chief Operating Officer, HDFC Life
	 


	The &#039;Term Guide&#039; is a short, do-it-yourself (DIY), interactive guide that enables customers to understand their term insurance needs as well as the decisions they need to take while buying a term plan best suited to their unique requirements. The Term Guide can be accessed by all, at no cost, at www.klarifylife.com/term-guide.


	 


	Based on their needs, &#039;Term Guide&#039; enables an individual to decide on the following:


	
		
			Policy duration
	
	
		
			Life cover to meet their family&#039;s requirements
	
	
		
			Add-on benefits aka riders
	
	
		
			Premium payment term and frequency
	
	
		
			Mode of payout
			 
	



	The idea for &#039;Term Guide&#039; is based on the insight that many individuals are unable to make the right purchase decisions related to term plans, which leads to procrastination in the buying process and even avoidance in some cases. During several discussions on the topic, potential customers, especially from the millennials and Gen Z age group pointed out that the most overwhelming aspects of the process were the part of decision-making and the varied advice which they received from different sources.


	 


	The &#039;Term Guide&#039; has been tested by potential term insurance customers as well as policyholders alike as part of a customer validation exercise. The feedback has been quite encouraging because it ensures customer involvement in every step of the decision-making process, enabling them to understand the logic behind every decision taken.
	 


	 Speaking on the development, Vineet Arora, Chief Operating Officer, HDFC Life, said, &quot;KlarifyLife is committed to raising awareness about term insurance among millennials and Gen Z in an easy to understand manner. The &#039;Term Guide&#039; is an awareness and knowledge-building initiative. We don&#039;t prompt the customer to buy or call them for any purchase thereafter. This is a fully customised solution that puts customers in charge of making more informed decisions when buying a term plan or evaluating their current insurance coverage. This is part of our endeavour to enable India to tackle the problem of underinsurance. We want to empower individuals to achieve financial freedom and the &#039;Term Guide&#039; is a step in that direction.&quot;


	 


	About KlarifyLife

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The India Global Forum&#039;s (IGF) flagship Annual Summit, around the theme of &quot;Setting the Pace&quot;, concluded successfully with stakeholders across sectors sharing their views on how India is well poised to set the pace to meet the challenges faced by the world.


	 


	With an impressive lineup of business leaders, policymakers, founders, and investors, the conversations throughout the day shed light on potential areas of growth, issues that matter and how a collaborative approach will help set the pace for globalization of India&#039;s unique advantages and offerings.


	 


	In a thought-provoking address, Union Minister Hon. Smriti Zubin Irani speaking on &quot;Faster Inclusion for Mutual Benefit and Socio-Economic Impact&quot; said, &quot;India is now setting new standards on the issue of gender justice. Over the years, our nation has transitioned from focusing on women&#039;s development to women led development. Women are not only a gender that has faced many complexities and challenges, but we are also at the forefront of delivering solutions. India has now proven a social and economic case for gender justice. For keeping humanity in, keep women in your consideration. That&#039;s my message to the India Global Forum&#039;s Annual Summit.&quot;


	 


	Prof. Manoj Ladwa, Founder and Chairman of India Global Forum said, &quot;It is exciting to witness the progress role of women-centric initiatives across sectors and within the policy framework which are setting the pace for India. The country continues to rise and shine in women led development and providing equal opportunities. At IGF, we believe in building lasting partnerships that will provide opportunities for women leaders to realise their potential and scale globally.&quot;


	 


	The Summit also hosted insightful conversations with Hon. Union Ministers Piyush Goyal, Ashwini Vaishnaw and Bhupender Yadav. Encompassing 30 themes, 35+ concurrent roundtables, and 500+ participants, IGF&#039;s Annual Summit analysed diverse perspectives and expert views on how India is &quot;Setting the Pace&quot; for the global economy. From Technology and Innovation, Investment, Finance and Infrastructure to Diversity, Inclusion and Climate Finance, the day covered a wide range of informative sessions amongst policymakers, industry captains and other influential thought leaders.


	 


	 


	A few highlights from the roundtables:


	 


	
		
			During the roundtable entitled Setting the Pace on the Future of Social Media: Building from India for the world with Koo, the panelists highlighted how Indian social media companies are making waves in the global market as they expand their services beyond Indias borders. Companies such as Koo have gained immense popularity in India and are now attracting users from other countries as well. Additionally, the Indian governments push for self-reliance has fueled the growth of these companies, which are now competing with global giants.
	
	
		
			Another roundtable discussion around Setting the Pace on Foreign Direct Investment with Sorin Investments, flagged that in 2023, India is expected to continue its position as a top destination for foreign direct investment, thanks to its large market size, growth potential, and business-friendly reforms. Despite the government&#039;s FDI attracting measures such as liberalizing investment rules, simplifying regulations, and providing tax incentives whilst providing a positive outlook, the country faces some challenges in attracting FDI, such as bureaucratic hurdles, infrastructure gaps, and policy uncertainties, which need to be addressed to fully leverage its potential. 
	
	
		
			Setting the pace on Building for Bharat with Google Cloud India shed light on how Building for Bharat is the initiative to build products and services that are accessible and affordable for the next billion users in India. Cloud services can play a key role in this initiative by providing the infrastructure and tools that businesses need to build and scale their products and services.
	
	
		
			The roundtable around Setting the Pace on Web3 with Coinbase touched upon how with a thriving IT sector, immense talent pool, and growing economy, India has the potential to lead the world&#039;s Web3
	
	
		
			revolution. Effective implementation of Web3 technologies could revolutionize education, government services, infrastructure development, financial inclusion and many other aspects that can be beneficial not only for India but can also serve as a strong benchmark for the rest of the developing world.
	
	
		
			As digitisation accelerates, governments utilise technology for improved service delivery. With the theme of Setting the Pace for Digitising Government Services with Deloitte India, the roundtable examined barriers and enablers of digitizing government services, the impact of AI, IoT, and blockchain, strategies for secure and scalable digital infrastructure, and creating inclusive citizen-centric services.

			&quot;We want to negotiate trade with countries which believe in reciprocity, follow a rules-based approach and believe in transparency. We will engage with the world, but as an equal.&quot; - Hon. Piyush Goyal
	
	
		
			The Interaction was held in New Delhi and witnessed the presence of prominent business leaders
	



	
	Stating that India continues to move forward in forging partnerships and trade relations, Hon. Piyush Goyal talked about India&#039;s growth in global trade and partnerships built on the 3 elements-sensitivity, trust and a strong bond between the negotiating entities.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Hon. Piyush Goyal at the Investors Interaction and the Opening Session of India Global Forum Annual Summit 2023
	 


	Speaking at an exclusive Investor Interaction graciously presided by him ahead of the India Global Forum (IGF) &#039;s Annual Summit 2023, Hon. Piyush Goyal said, &quot;India recognises that when we talk of self-reliant India (Atmanirbhar Bharat), we are not thinking of closing the doors, in fact opening it further wide. There is a reason that the whole world wants to talk to us, and we are talking to them. Every country has certain competitive advantages; similarly, wherever, we see we have an edge, we cannot have sub-optimal products populating our markets. We want quality products. I am confident, in the years to come, Indian industries will be able to get the &#039;mojo&#039; back in the manufacturing space. We want to negotiate trade with countries which believe in reciprocity, follow a rules-based approach and believe in transparency. We will engage with the world, but as an equal.&quot;

Minister Piyush Goyal has aptly reaffirmed the same. India Global Forum has always led the agenda by highlighting and amplifying India&#039;s globalisation story - as we head into the IGF&#039;s Annual Summit, we will look at how we can collaboratively propel India&#039;s journey to the top and centre of the global stage.&quot;

<title>Get a Gold Loan of up to Rs. 2 Crore with Bajaj Finserv</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/get-a-gold-loan-of-up-to-rs-2-crore-with-bajaj-finserv</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Bajaj Finserv, through its subsidiary Bajaj Finance, offers instant loans against gold jewellery, starting from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 2 crore.
	 


	Bajaj Finserv offers gold loans with interest rate starting at 9.5% per annum. Depending on the current market price of gold, borrowers can get a loan up to 75% of the value of the gold jewellery.
	 


	Read on to learn what makes  a smart choice for instant finance. 
	 


	Low rate of interest


	Since a gold loan is secured against physical gold jewellery, the gold loan interest rate is lower than the unsecured loans, like personal loans that are not backed by anything. Bajaj Finserv offers interest rates starting from 9.5% per month. It also provides the borrowers with a free gold loan EMI calculator to figure out the amount they will have to pay at the end of their loans term.
	 


	No credit score dependency


	Unlike unsecured loans, gold loans do not need the borrowers to have an excellent credit history or a great CIBIL Score. Since, the borrower puts up a secured asset like gold jewellery against the loan, lenders are more willing to extend credit despite less-than-perfect credit score.
	 


	Transparent gold evaluation


	While gold loan is a convenient option for quick finance, the amount of loan borrowers can avail depends on the purity of their gold jewellery. Bajaj Finserv offers a transparent gold evaluation process. Best-in-class karat metres are used to make sure the borrowers get maximum value in exchange for their gold jewellery.
	 


	To secure this loan, one must pledge a piece of pure gold jewellery worth 22-karats or more. Collateral in the form of gold coins, bars, idols, utensils, or anything else is not currently being accepted.
	 


	Easy eligibility and documentation 


	Generally, the eligibility parameters for a gold loan are pretty simple. The borrowers just need to be an Indian citizen aged between 21 to 70 years and have their basic KYC papers for verification. In most cases documents like Aadhaar Card, voter ID card, the passport, or drivers license, along with a proof of address is enough to get the loan approved.
	 


	Since the loan does not require any complex paperwork, the funds are disbursed into the applicant&#039;s account within a few hours. 
	 


	Looking for a quick loan 


	Borrowers can apply for a gold loan both online and offline. They can either walk into a Bajaj Finserv branch near them to apply for a gold loan or apply online from the comfort of their home by visiting the Bajaj Finserv website. They just need to follow these simple steps:
	 


	Step 1: Navigate to the Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan page.


	Step 2: Select and open the online application form.


	Step 3: Fill in your first and last name as it appears on your PAN card.


	Step 4: Enter your 10-digit mobile number and select your city.


	Step 5: Enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number and submit the application.  


	Step 6: Set up your appointment at the nearest gold loan branch, from the options displayed to you, and bring your gold jewellery there in person for evaluation.  


	 


	Visit the Bajaj Finserv website to apply for a gold loan today.


	 


	*Terms and conditions apply.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The Asia Foundation partnered with, CII and BRIEF to convene a discussion on &#039;Opportunities for India&#039;s Participation in Global Value Chains&#039; on March 24 in New Delhi. The convening brought together industry experts, policymakers, and academia to delve into three focus areas that can facilitate sustainable integration with the global value chains: gender dimensions of trade, trade facilitation, and intellectual property rights. The event provided valuable insights and recommendations for India to become a thriving hub for economic activity and support a flourishing global value chain.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Launch of the Policy Briefs
	 


	Mr. Aditya Mishra, Chairman, Land Ports Authority of India, Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India made the keynote address and launched three policy briefs:


	
		
			&quot;Global Supply Chains and Trade Facilitation: Identifying the contours of an Indian Approach&quot; by Dr. Amitendu Palit, Senior Research Fellow and Research Lead (Trade and Economics), Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS), National University of Singapore.

	The policy briefs were developed as part of The Asia Foundation&#039;s &#039;Think Tank Engagement on Indo-Pacific Issues&#039; project supported by the U.S. State Department. Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) was the knowledge partner for this project.


	 


	Ms. Nandita Baruah, Country Representative, The Asia Foundation, reflected on India&#039;s potential to contribute to becoming an economic hub and providing opportunities for growth and employment. &quot;This research aims to provide actionable recommendations to further India&#039;s intent to become an economic hub and global engine of growth. We hope the findings from the policy briefs can add value to the government&#039;s initiatives to expand India&#039;s engagement in global trade and inform policy and operational investment for enhancing the integration of India&#039;s economy into the global value chain, with a strong focus on gender-supportive trade mechanisms,&quot; she said. 
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Panel on Global Value Chain Trade Facilitation &amp; IPR
	 


	The event held panel discussions focusing on: &#039;Gender Inclusiveness in Trade&#039; and &#039;Global Value Chains: Trade Facilitation and IPR.&#039; The panel discussion on &#039;Gender Inclusiveness in Trade&#039; highlighted the importance of making trade policies gender inclusive. The panelists Mr. Aditya Mishra, Chairman, LPAI, Dr. Sanjay Kathuria, former Lead Economist, The World Bank, and Ms. Nikita Singla, Associate Director, BRIEF, and Shravani Prakash, Founder, ElleNomics, moderated the panel and discussed the role of trade policies in empowering women entrepreneurs and ensuring their access to finance, market, and technology while focusing on the importance of creating a conducive environment for women entrepreneurs to participate in international trade.


	 


	The &#039;Global Value Chains: Trade Facilitation and IPR&#039; panel highlighted the challenges and opportunities for India&#039;s participation in the global value chains.

	&quot;As Chairman of the Land Ports Authority of India and an advocate for gender inclusiveness in trade, I am happy to release the papers on Opportunities for India&#039;s Participation in Global Value Chains at this event.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	With a sharp focus on the eradication of tuberculosis in India this World TB Day, HaystackAnalytics, an IIT Bombay based health-tech startup, supported by the Department of Science &amp; Technology, Govt. of India, has launched a fundraising campaign to raise awareness on drug-resistant TB which requires a Universal drug susceptibility test (DST) for clinicians to enable them to start the right therapy. Knowing the drug resistance profile of all the drugs before prescribing medicines is as critical as the detection of TB. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) is going to be pivotal in enabling Universal DST and eventually saving lives of the patients from this silent killer. HaystackAnalytics has already tested close to 10,000 patients for TB and is targeting to enable WGS-based diagnostics for 20% of DR-TB patients in 2023. Whole Genome Sequencing for Diagnostics for Tuberculosis has been available in developed countries like the UK through the NHS since 2015. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Deaths due to TB in India contributes to around 30-32% of Global deaths due to TB


	 


	Source: World Health Organisation


	 


	The fight against tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a major public health challenge in India. Every year, around 2.5 million people in India are affected by TB, and the disease claims the lives of over 4 lakh people. India has the worlds greatest number of unreported TB cases. The rate of TB infections in the country has increased by 49%, with the majority of cases remaining undiagnosed. In 2020, a total of 18.12 lakh TB cases were reported, which was 25% less than the total of 24 lakh cases reported in 2019. The lack of awareness about TB care has led to case non-reporting and delayed diagnosis.


	 


	The fundraising campaign is being led by a consortium of organizations including the likes of World Health Partners, and Doctors For You which are dedicated to eradicating TB in India. Moreover, HaystackAnalytics is in talks with various industry associations in healthcare for collaborations for the campaign. 


	 


	Dr. Anirvan Chatterjee, Co-founder, and CEO of HaystackAnalytics said, &quot;With this campaign, we aim to create awareness about drug-resistant TB and how the breakthrough solutions provided by the Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) technology can enable the identification of pathogens accurately along with drug resistance profile and aid in the timely diagnosis of diseases by way of universal DST. At HaystackAnalytics, we strive to create technologies that address gaps and obstacles in the present diagnostics environment. We hope to enhance healthcare in our community by encouraging and advocating for easy access to TB related diagnostics and treatment for patients and curb deaths in the country. Let us all pledge to work together to make India TB-free by 2025.&quot;


	 


	HaystackAnalytics has partnered with the leading giving platform Milaap to launch this fundraising campaign to raise small ticket funds starting from as little as INR 1,000 by means of crowdfunding from multiple individuals. Contributions can be made through this link milaap.org/fundraisers/support-to-stop-drug-resistant-tb


	 


	About HaystackAnalytics


	HaystackAnalytics is an IIT Bombay, health-tech company, funded by grants from Department of Science &amp; Technology and BIRAC, Government of India, and backed by healthcare veterans like Dr. Velumani. They build, validate and offer tests that accurately identify the condition of the patient. To make genomics data consumable for all general healthcare systems, they have managed to bring the solutions directly to the users with their unique computing hardware, co-developed with Intel.


	 


	In a short span of time, HaystackAnalytics has been able to secure a position in the healthcare ecosystem and have become the one who will co-create the future of healthcare in the country. The company has been honored with prestigious healthcare startup awards including CAHO Tech- PitchFest for healthcare startups and HealthTech startup of the year by The Entrepreneur magazine.  The HaystackAnalytics&#039;s platform for rapid identification of drug resistance in TB patients was recently launched by our Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi at BIRAC&#039;s Biotech Startup Expo 2022 in New Delhi.

<title>Gudi Padwa 2023: Plan for your Future with Higher FD Rates by Bajaj Finance</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/gudi-padwa-2023-plan-for-your-future-with-higher-fd-rates-by-bajaj-finance</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/gudi-padwa-2023-plan-for-your-future-with-higher-fd-rates-by-bajaj-finance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	It is a great idea to assess your investments and set new yearly financial goals as the new fiscal year draws near. A risk-reducing secure investment alternative should be included in every investment portfolio in addition to high-earning market-linked instruments. With so many investing options on the market, planning can be difficult. You must consider your risk tolerance, financial objectives, need for liquidity, the security of the investment instrument, etc.


	 


	Fixed deposits (FDs) are a wise investment choice that does not fluctuate with the market, allowing you to increase your funds with no risk. An excellent investment option that provides secure and significant returns on deposits is the Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit.


	 


	With a Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit, you can take advantage of both excellent interest rates and flexibility.


	 


	Why is FD a wise investment option for the future


	Investing in FDs ensures stable returns, making it a wise option for efficient future planning. Fixed deposit returns are not reliant on market fluctuations, which make it a lucrative option for investors with low-risk appetite. The interest rates on FDs stay constant throughout the tenure and allows one to estimate the actual returns beforehand.


	 


	With FDs, investors can choose among monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and early payout options. Alternatively, they can also receive the entire amount, both principal and interest, at the end of tenure. This is beneficial as investors can select a preferable payout option based on their requirements. FDs also allow investors to raise a loan against their investments when they are in urgent need of funds.


	 


	What are the strategies to maximise earnings from FDs


	There are numerous strategies that investors can adopt to book FDs at high-interest FD rates. This ensures maximised returns from their investments. Some of these strategies include:


	
		
			Financial institutions such as Bajaj Finance offer higher interest rates on special tenures. These usually include 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, and 44 months. Investors can select these tenures to maximise the returns from their investments.
	
	
		
			FD is one of the most suitable options for long-term investments. On selecting longer tenures, investors can receive higher interest rates on their deposits. Thus, they can fulfil their far-fetched financial goals from their FD investments.
	
	
		
			Investors have the flexibility of selecting cumulative or non-cumulative payout options while booking an FD. Although the non-cumulative payout option allows investors to receive money periodically, the cumulative option can churn higher returns in the long run. To get a clear idea about this, they can use an online FD calculator to optimise the factors for maximum returns.
	
	
		
			Financial institutions including Bajaj Finance offer 0.25% higher than regular FD rates to senior citizens. Thus, investors can consider opening an FD account in their parents name to increase their returns from the investment.
	



	 


	The following table will help investors to get a clear idea of how selecting a longer FD investment tenure can maximise your returns.


	
		
			
				
					Special tenures in months
			
			
				
					Cumulative interest rates for customers below 60 years
			
			
				
					Cumulative interest rates for customers above 60 years
			
		
		
			
				
					15
			
			
				
					7.45%
			
			
				
					7.70%
			
		
		
			
				
					22
			
			
				
					7.50%
			
			
				
					7.75%
			
		
		
			
				
					33
			
			
				
					7.75%
			
			
				
					8.00%
			
		
		
			
				
					44
			
			
				
					7.95%
			
			
				
					8.20%
			
		
	



	Once investors decide their strategy for maximising their income, they can proceed to check the eligibility criteria before beginning with the FD investment process.


	 


	Who can invest in fixed deposits


	To book an FD with Bajaj Finance, an investor must be an Indian citizen. Furthermore, the following groups are also eligible for FD investments:


	
		
			Partnership firms and companies
	
	
		
			Sole proprietorship
	
	
		
			Hindu undivided families
	
	
		
			Clubs and associations
	
	
		
			Societies and family trusts
	



	 


	Also, investors should keep their PAN card and KYC documents ready to enter the details correctly while investing in FD.


	 


	How easy is it to start investing in FDs


	Interested investors can visit the official website of their preferred financial institution and navigate to the FD investment page. As most renowned financial organisations allow online opening of fixed deposits, investors can easily fill up the application form on the website.


	 


	Next, investors need to enter certain mandatory details accurately. Once done, they can transfer t ]]></description>

<title>Get a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan Starting at Just 0.83 percent per Month</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/get-a-bajaj-finserv-gold-loan-starting-at-just-083-percent-per-month</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/get-a-bajaj-finserv-gold-loan-starting-at-just-083-percent-per-month</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	From necklaces to bangles, bracelets, rings, and more, Indians love their gold. An additional, often overlooked, benefit of having gold jewellery is that it can be used as collateral to get financing.


	 


	Whether it is a planned expense or an unforeseen event, a gold loan is a quick and easy way to get the money one needs.


	 


	Since the gold jewellery serves as collateral, the gold loan interest rate is typically lower than that on an unsecured loan. Bajaj Finserv, through its subsidiary Bajaj Finance, offers gold loans at interest rates as low as 0.83% per month. Borrowers can use their 22-karat gold jewellery to get loans starting at Rs. 5,000 going all the way up to Rs. 2 crore.


	 


	These gold loans also come with easy documentation, quick processing, and convenient repayment options.


	 


	Unlike other secured loans with a single goal, such as education loans or home loans, a gold loan can be used for any purpose. One of the key reasons why loans against gold are gaining in popularity is because of the high liquidity on offer.


	 


	Any Indian citizen, between the ages of 21 and 70 with the necessary KYC documents can easily apply online and avail the loan. One does not need to have an excellent credit history or a great CIBIL Score.


	 


	Read on to know more about some of the attractive features of a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan.


	 


	Part-release facility 


	With the part release facility on offer, borrowers can repay a part of their loan and take part of their gold jewellery back before the end of their loan tenure.


	
	Multiple repayment schedules 


	One can choose from several convenient repayment options - repay the entire interest amount at the beginning of the loan tenure and pay the remaining principal later. There are also monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly interest payment options to choose from.


	
	No part-prepayment or foreclosure fee


	Bajaj Finserv also offers the option to pay back a part of the loan or the entire amount in advance at no extra cost. This reduces the overall loan servicing expenditure.


	
	Free gold loan calculator 


	Bajaj Finservs online gold loan EMI calculator helps consumers determine the loan amount depending on the weight and purity of their gold jewellery. Before applying for a loan, they can calculate the total interest that will be charged along with their repayment plan.


	
	Transparent evaluation 


	Bajaj Finserv uses top-of-the-line karat metres are used to ensure borrowers receive maximum value for their gold. The pledged gold jewellery is kept in secure vaults under 24x7 surveillance.

<title>Superplum Launches Traceable &amp;amp; Safe to Eat Grapes in Plastic Free Packaging</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The fresh produce industry in India has been long plagued by high levels of pesticides in grapes. While India has become one of the world&#039;s largest table grape exporters by following global standards for pesticide residues, most Indian consumers have to consume grapes with high contaminant levels in their own country. 


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	 Superplums eco-friendly packaging​


	 


	Superplum, a Noida-based startup, is taking a step to rectify this by providing consumers with safe-to-eat grapes that are tested for pesticides. Farm practices and growing methods are analysed before harvesting, and grapes are then tested by NABL-accredited labs to ensure food safety.


	 


	Superplum is committed to promoting transparency with customers by allowing them to view these pesticide test reports by scanning the QR code on their packaging. This gives customers information about where their grapes were grown, which farmer produced them, and even offers them the opportunity to reward the farmer with a bonus payment.


	 


	In an effort to improve sustainability, Superplum has now announced eco-friendly packaging with zero plastic for their farm-fresh grapes. With Indians consuming grapes in millions of plastic packs, this small change can help reduce our ecological footprint. Consumers will not only eat healthier, but they can also help contribute positively to the environment.


	 


	Superplum&#039;s fresh grapes in their all-new eco-friendly packaging are now available online and in Delhi/NCR and Bengaluru stores.


	 


	For more information, please visit our website: www.superplum.com


	 


	About Superplum
	Superplum, a start-up backed by some of Silicon Valleys most notable investors, has been addressing Indian agricultures endemic issues since 2020 by building the countrys most sophisticated supply chain for fresh produce. The company works with farmers across the country to ensure product quality right from the source. Their fruits are delivered to over 500 stores in Delhi-NCR and Bengaluru, including Spar, Lulu Hypermarket, and Star Bazaar. They are also available on Amazon Fresh and other online channels. With a fully digitized system, each product is fully traceable from the farm to the consumer via a QR code seamlessly integrated into their vibrant packaging.

<title>Top 4 Enterprises Technology Trends for the Year 2023: Murali Manohar, Managing Director, India Subcontinent, Infor</title>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The emergence of advanced and more interconnected technology is reshaping the future of industries. From last mile connectivity across supply chains to next mile innovation, digital technologies are at the core to aligning organizations future roadmap. For instance, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, automation is bringing increased efficiency and capabilities to business functionalities. As we usher in the new year, enterprise cloud solution providers are looking to expand their focus to business buyers, not just IT/development teams.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Murali Manohar, Managing Director, India Subcontinent, Infor


	 


	As Gartner notes in its Top Strategic Technology Trends for 2023 presentation, given by Gartner analysts at its 2022 IT Symposia globally, &quot;senior IT and business leaders need to prepare to optimize, scale, or pioneer.


	
		
			To optimize resilience, operations or trust
	
	
		
			To scale your vertical solutions, product delivery, or everywhere
	
	
		
			To pioneer customer engagement, accelerated responses or opportunity&quot;
	



	 


	From an Infor perspective, we also see the growing need for combinations of technologies to address disruptions in any given industry or market.


	 


	With these market dynamics as the backdrop, here are four of our technology predictions for 2023:


	 


	1. The Composable Reality


	For the last few years, many of the top market research and analyst firms have talked about the need and recommendation for purchasing best-of-breed applications and &quot;composing&quot; them together in a harmonious way, known as the &quot;composable ERP&quot;.


	 


	This challenges the notion of a monolithic ERP system itself as the center of gravity for an organization. However, what hasn&#039;t yet been formally addressed is the means by which to accomplish this composition. While many pure-play vendors in the market have their specific versions of iPaaS (infrastructure platform-as-a-service), no-code development frameworks, machine learning platforms, and more, no one has fully expanded their portfolio to cover the complete breadth for an end-to-end innovation use case. This is where GSIs (global system integrators) have traditionally played a large role, but the demand from buyers will likely be that this is an easier and faster process to procure, personalize, and deploy. Many larger software companies have procured more capabilities, but the vast majority are not natively integrated yet with their existing cloud services. This will be the year to make that the reality through a true digital transformation platform that becomes the standard glue for any given organization.


	 


	2. Mainstream Hyperautomation


	With the continuous pressure on cost efficiency and market influence, there is a conflicting need for new business models &amp; differentiation while also being cost conscious. Organizations need to prove ROI faster while also focusing on the areas of their business where the largest cost and risk occurs. More often than not this tends to center around operations and people.


	 


	What we should expect is that simply automating one given task is not enough. That may simply begin the journey. Instead, this will be a journey of continuous improvement even if a sense of automation exists. Can I make this faster, more accurate, more proactive, more intelligent Can this continue to automate across disparate systems Can this reach into my legacy on-premise systems and knowledge This will become the expectation that IT teams request, as they are pressured by the business.


	 


	3. Enterprise Simulations


	Similar to the hyperautomation trend, businesses will want to explore if new paths can help them receive inventory faster, sell more product, reduce waste, move into new markets, or even assess how they can react to new market situations. Performing large-scale simulations like this can certainly be done in test environments but that comes with an excessively large overhead of data migrations or refreshes, process refinements, and eventual porting of changes to production. My expectation is that business users will want access to simulations in the context of their daily work. For instance, if a procurement specialist is working on an order and thinks this might be her opportunity to work with a new vendor of choice, then perhaps technology will enable her to simulate that decision based on the mass data profiles and machine learning &amp; optimization models running in the background. If the user likes the result, then they can gain more confidence in the path and ultimately make better decisions that affect the overall business significantly. It should no longer be the bottleneck for changing a business process for better decision making.


	 


	4. Enterprises becoming Creative Agencies


	As an aggregator of the previous trends, the overarching movement is that, as the wo ]]></description>

<title>Neobank Chqbook Collaborates with ICICI Lombard General Insurance to Offer Financial Protection to India&amp;apos;s Shop Owners and Merchants Against Climate Risks</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/neobank-chqbook-collaborates-with-icici-lombard-general-insurance-to-offer-financial-protection-to-indias-shop-owners-and-merchants-against-climate-risks</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/neobank-chqbook-collaborates-with-icici-lombard-general-insurance-to-offer-financial-protection-to-indias-shop-owners-and-merchants-against-climate-risks</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			The Shop Insurance policy offers financial protection up to INR 100,000/- in the event of loss due to such as floods, earthquakes, lightening, storms, cyclones, fire etc
	
	
		
			Chqbook aims to cover 500,000 shop owners in the next 12 -18 months
	
	
		
			This solution will make shop owners resilient towards unforeseen climatic risks
	



	 


	Chqbook, Indias first neobank for small business owners, has launched a specially designed &quot;Shop Insurance Cover&quot; for its Digital Current Account customers. This insurance solution has been designed and launched in association with ICICI Lombard one of Indias leading general insurance companies. Under this insurance, losses incurred by shop owners due to floods, earthquakes, lightening, storms, cyclones, fire and other climate risks will be covered, including any loss due to burglary of contents in the shop.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Chqbook Kirana Shop


	
	Chqbook offers a digital current account for small business owners like kiranas, chemists and others, who can open an account instantly on the Chqbook app in a language they are comfortable with. The current account, which is available in 8 languages, has received strong traction within months of its launch. Chqbook plans to on-board more than 500,000 shop owners and merchants in the next 12 months. 


	
	India is already facing devastating impacts from climate change and stands to lose 5.21% of its GDP by 2050 as per G20 climate risk atlas report. Small businesses in India account for 30% of the GDP and often lack access to financial services, including insurance. The lack of access and low awareness leaves them vulnerable to climatic risks and other man-made risks, forcing them to either take loans or use their savings to cover the losses- potentially pushing them into poverty.


	
	Looking at this massive under-penetration and the need to safeguard this community from unforeseen losses through inclement climatic activities, Chqbook will bear the first-year premium towards this Shop Insurance.


	
	Mohit Goel, Co-founder - Chqbook said, &quot;Our recent survey found that only 1 in 5 small business owners have insured their shops and contents, despite the potential risks. More than 50% of shop owners feel they are not at risk. This has led to financial struggles for many, with 80% forced to use their savings, sell their valuables or take out loans to recover losses. Our partnership with ICICI Lombard General Insurance aims to address this issue and make our community more resilient and financially secure. By bundling shop insurance solutions with our Digital Current Account, we are enabling small business owners to access financial services on their smartphones with no paperwork, empowering them to run and grow their business with the protection they need. As a responsible neobank and task force member of B20 (under G20), we remain committed to delivering financial inclusion for economic empowerment.&quot;


	
	Speaking about the partnership Sandeep Goradia, Chief - Corporate Solutions of ICICI Lombard, said, &quot;We are delighted to announce our collaboration with Chqbook in their vision of offering financial protection to India&#039;s thriving, yet vulnerable population of shop owners and merchants. As a significant contributor to our economy, this highly adaptable customer segment can often find themselves with a lack of options when it comes to risk management. With our extensive range of customised solutions, we are confident that bundling of such a solution will contribute towards increased preparedness and responsiveness of small/micro business owners vis a vis unpredictability during their operations. This will further enable insurance penetration and adoption of micro insurance products in India.&quot;


	
	Indias rising Internet usage and smartphone penetration with 725 million active users is revolutionizing access to financial services. Aligned with the vision of a Digital India, Chqbook aims to empower small business owners with digital access to financial services on the Chqbook app. With more than 1.8 million App downloads and 250,000 active users across India, Chqbook aims to help make small businesses big.
	 
	About Chqbook
	Chqbook - a Gurugram and Bengaluru based fintech start-up offers solutions for small business owners like kiranas, merchants, chemists, and others running proprietorship businesses. Founded by Vipul Sharma, Rajat Kumar, and Mohit Goel, Chqbook offers small business owners a digital current account, instant business loans and insurance, to make their small business big. The mobile app places the power of managing day-to-day financial transactions in the hands of small business owners, as well as providing them access to a diverse range of financial products on-demand and on-the-go, helping them save valuable time, effort, and money as they grow their businesses.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	The Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) under the Startup India initiative launched the first edition of the &#039;National Incubator Capacity Building Program&#039; to support the growth of incubators across the country. This is following suggestions from the National Startup Advisory Council (NSAC) constituted by DPIIT, chaired by Shri Piyush Goyal, Minister of Commerce &amp; Industry, Government of India to build a strong ecosystem for nurturing innovation and startups to drive sustainable economic growth and generate livelihood opportunities.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	National Incubator Capacity Building Program
	 


	The hands-on training program is designed to help incubators become sustainable. The initiative will provide 3 months mentorship and advisory support to the incubators and provide knowledge resources &amp; tools for entrepreneurs to grow. The program is implemented by Villgro, winner of National Incubator Award 2020 by DPIIT, GoI.


	 


	The program will develop customized business models for incubators and organize masterclasses, workshops on managing the Startup India Seed Fund Scheme (SISFS). It will also offer access to VITALS (Villgro Information Tracking and Learning System), a technology-based information system for tracking incubation of enterprises.


	 


	Incubator Business Advisors such as Paul Basil, Mohammad Azhar, Chand Das, Rama Kannan and Arun Venkatesan will mentor and guide upto 20 incubators.

	Speaking about the National Incubator Capacity Building Program, Mr Prashant Prakash, Member National Startup Advisory Council, said, &quot;There is a dire need for efficient incubators that can support the vibrant startup community and scale innovative solutions. We are delighted to launch this program, which will help us identify our first cohort of visionary incubators and enable them to create impact at scale. Over the last 7 years, Startup India has been an enabler of the India Startup Ecosystem, and we look forward to working with incubators in developing process-driven incubation and investment, through this program.&quot;


	 


	&quot;India&#039;s start-up ecosystem has witnessed immense growth in the past few years &amp; incubators have played a vital role in this regard. However, start-ups in Tier 2 &amp; 3 cities require guidance and mentorship in order to develop a sustainable and scalable business model. Villgro is determined to develop the capacity of incubators by guiding the cohort with knowledge of the domain, incubation plans, and customized roadmaps,&quot; says Mohammad Azhar, Lead, Govt &amp; Public Sector Initiatives, Villgro.

	The program will commence from May, 2023 and the incubators will graduate from the program on August 30th, 2023.

<description><![CDATA[

	Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation
	 


	Endless Summer Vacation features Miley&#039;s hit single &quot;Flowers&quot; plus twelve additional tracks. A true worldwide smash, &quot;Flowers&quot; spent six weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 - a personal best for Miley. &quot;Flowers&quot; is #1 on US Pop Radio and is the fastest running song in nearly a decade to achieve that position. Additionally, it is the fastest song in history to hit 500million streams on Spotify. &quot;Flowers&quot; is officially the longest running UK #1 single by a female solo artist.


	 


	In a recently shared clip, Miley gave insight into Endless Summer Vacation; watch here. She notes, &quot;When it comes to the sequencing of Endless Summer Vacation, I divided it by two parts: AM and PM - to kind of represent almost like an act. The AM to me is representing the morning time, where there is a buzz and an energy and a there&#039;s potential of new possibilities. It&#039;s a new day. And in the nighttime, it feels like there is a slinky, seediness and kind of a grime, but a glamour at the same time. In the evening, it&#039;s a great time for rest, a time to recover - or it&#039;s a time to go out and experience the wild side. Los Angeles, there is a certain energy to the night that you can kind of feel trouble boil up to the surface, and it is very inspiring to me.&quot;


	 


	Endless Summer Vacation track list:


	1. Flowers 


	2. Jaded


	3. Rose Colored Lenses

With this special, Miley, who also serves as executive producer, opens the door to audiences around the world, providing insight into her new album and the person she is today. For the first time ever, Miley performs songs from Endless Summer Vacation, including &quot;Flowers,&quot; seven additional tracks from the album, one of her chart-topping classic hits and a special performance with Rufus Wainwright. The &quot;Backyard Sessions&quot; are a series that Miley began in 2012 for her fans.

<title>&amp;apos;Thou Shalt Not Steel&amp;apos; Brings to us the Story of the Iconic Steel Flyover Movement</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/thou-shalt-not-steel-brings-to-us-the-story-of-the-iconic-steel-flyover-movement</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/thou-shalt-not-steel-brings-to-us-the-story-of-the-iconic-steel-flyover-movement</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	The Garden city, Bengaluru is known for its beauty, weather and dosas. What ensued that fateful October in 2016 will forever define the love the people of the city have for the place they call home. The 2016 uproar towards the construction of a steel flyover in the city is now the subject of a soon to release documentary film.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Faces of Bengaluru presents to you &quot;Thou Shalt Not steel&quot;, A Documentary on how Bengaluru came together to save their city


	 


	The film takes the audience on a visual journey of the Bangalore&#039;s &#039;Steel Flyover Beda&#039; protest, which literally translates to We dont want a steel flyover. The bustling city of Bangalore is home to great coffee, working professionals and many cultural intricacies that make the city unique. In 2016 a big part of what makes Bangalore, &#039;Bengaluru&#039; was threatened by an ambitious project the Government wanted sanctioned to improve congestion in the city. What started out as a dream project quickly turned into a commentary of what the regular joe wants; to protect their city.


	 


	
		The proposed flyover, which was aimed at reducing traffic congestion, was estimated to cost around Rs. 1,800 crore and would have connected Basaveshwara Circle to Hebbal Flyover and would be a 6.7 km steel flyover. &#039;Thou Shalt Not Steel&#039; gets to the point right away and gives the emotions of the people a face and a voice. The simple documentary made by young Bengalureans is the essence of how the people of Bengaluru feel about their city. The documentary addresses a lot of the fears of the people and how they felt during the protests. The speakers of the film include prominent personalities like Prakash Belawadi, Pawan Kumar, MD Pallavi  &amp; more, who had a pivotal role to play in turning this film into a reality and helped weave the narrative for this movement along with Mr. Naresh &amp; co. from Citizens of Bengaluru. 

	
		 

	
		Known to be a generally quiet and mellow city that very much reflects its unique identity, the protests were a benchmark of community building and resilience which birthed many other movements to come. The film very factually and beautifully addresses the ground level realities of how large ambitious projects that threaten the ecosystem affect people and make them feel. A tale of unity and courage told with simplicity and heart, Thou Shalt Not Steel is an open love letter to Bengaluru, its people, their grit and determination in protecting their city and the environment. The makers wanted to tell the story of the True Blue Bangalorean across demographics and the city and how they came together to say &#039;No&#039; to what did not align with their larger principles.

	
		 

	
		On the project, Vikas Badiger, Founder, Faces of Bengaluru (FoB), says, &quot;We wanted to tell this story the way we heard it. Growing up as a young man you often find yourself looking for great stories to inspire you. We are always looking for a hero, what we dont realise is a hero is not always someone who flings from building to building. Most times heroes are ordinary people fighting extraordinary battles. The steel flyover protest is very representative of that. The movement and the sincerity of the people behind the movement inspired me, it made me believe you can be a part of something bigger than yourself. We wanted to tell a Tru Blu Bangalore story. People across demographics, across the city came together to say no and to take a stand. It was truly visceral to live that experience again through our film. We wanted young people to know about this and learn from it, we wanted to tell this story purely because it inspired us and made us believe in the power of the common man.&quot; 

	
		 

	
		The film releases soon and is touted to be one of the most thought provoking movies focused on participative democracy and community driven ambition. The film promises all heart, the power of the common man and showcases the dedication of a true blue Bengalurean whose love for their city precedes everything else.

	
		 



	 About Faces of Bengaluru


	The film is produced by FoB Media Co. FoB Media Co., started out as Faces of Bengaluru, a hyper-local passion project which has now grown into a media startup, looking to change the way Indians consume content and perceive reality. FoB was started by Vikas Badiger - Director &amp; Producer, a passionate disruptor who started this journey to make a difference through the power of art. Portraying the cityscape realities through young voices that matter, FoB truly believes in the power of demonstrative and action oriented goals.

<title>Invest in High&#45;Return Fixed Deposits with Bajaj Finance</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/invest-in-high-return-fixed-deposits-with-bajaj-finance</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/invest-in-high-return-fixed-deposits-with-bajaj-finance</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	According to a survey conducted by SEBI, about 95% of Indian families prefer parking their savings in Fixed Deposits (FD) over mutual funds. This is mainly because investing in this scheme does not involve market risks and ensures guaranteed returns. Furthermore, selecting Bajaj Finance as an investment partner ensures higher returns. Here are some reasons why individuals prefer FD as their investment instrument of choice.


	 


	Why should investors open fixed deposits with Bajaj Finance


	Some of the reasons why investors must park their funds in FDs with Bajaj Finance are as follows:


	
		
			Extensive returns: Investing money in FDs with Bajaj Finance can provide returns of up to 8.20% p.a. for about 44 months. Furthermore, investors have the flexibility of dividing their investments into different FD accounts with variable tenures like 15, 18, 22, 30, 33, 39, and 44 months. This helps them to get access to higher FD rates and compounded returns on their investment.
	
	
		
			Flexibility in interest payout: Several investors prefer customised returns from their deposits along with higher returns. They have the flexibility of receiving a lump sum payout at the end of the tenure. Alternatively, they can also opt for monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual payouts as per their convenience to serve as an additional source of income.
	
	
		
			Complete online processing: Considering the busy schedule of people today, the entire process of investing in FD with Bajaj Finance has become completely online and can be done with just a few clicks. This end-to-end paperless process saves time otherwise spent on visiting the offline branches.
	



	 


	To top these benefits, Bajaj Finance offers a dedicated customer support portal named &#039;My Account&#039; to help investors manage their FDs online. They can log in any time with their credentials to monitor the returns and make additional investments. Furthermore, they can also download crucial documents from this portal, if required.


	 


	Can investors meet emergency funding requirements with a Bajaj Finance FD


	Bajaj Finance offers the flexibility of applying for a loan against fixed deposits to meet emergency financing needs. One can apply for a credit of up to 75% of the invested amount in cumulative FDs. However, in case of non-cumulative FDs, individuals can apply for loans of up to 60% of their invested amount.


	 


	What to do before investing in an FD


	Bajaj Finance offers an online FD calculator that individuals must use to efficiently plan their investments. One can input the investment amount, pick a preferred tenure, and select the payout mode from the available options. This way, investors can compare the interest rates and maturity amounts for different investment amounts even before investing.


	 


	Is it complicated to open a Bajaj Finance FD online


	To invest in a Bajaj Finance Fixed Deposit scheme online, there are some basic steps to follow. These are quite easy and saves valuable time.


	
		
			Navigate to the &#039;Fixed Deposit&#039; page on the official website and fill up an online application form.
	
	
		
			Carefully enter the KYC and bank details before completing the payment using NEFT/RTGS or Net Banking/UPI, to begin the investment journey.
	



	 


	Who are eligible to invest in fixed deposits with Bajaj Finance


	Citizens of India, partnership firms, Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs), sole proprietorships, family trusts, clubs, societies, and associations are eligible for opening a fixed deposit account with Bajaj Finance.


	 


	Furthermore, while investing in a fixed deposit scheme, individuals must have their PAN card and KYC documents like voter&#039;s ID card, driving licence, passport, and Aadhaar card to complete the process.


	 


	Can investors renew their FD scheme with Bajaj Finance 


	Investors can renew their investments even before 24 hours of maturity to get the latest FD interest rates. For this, they will need to log in to their portal and visit the Fixed Deposit renewal page. They can make the appropriate selections and choose the tenure and payout frequency to complete the renewal process. 


	 


	Bajaj Finance has also received CRISIL AAA/STABLE and [ICRA]AAA(Stable) ratings that ensure complete security of the FD investments made by customers. As such, investing in a fixed deposit scheme with Bajaj Finance deems to be one of the best options in the market. It helps investors unlock dual benefits of safeguarding their savings from market volatility and earning attractive returns with flexible payouts option in just a few clicks.

India as a country can create around 290 billion tonnes of carbon space for the world.&quot;

In midst of shifting world order, the energy crisis is accelerating at a rapid pace. While financing climate action, there is an innovative accounting.&quot;


	 


	&quot;Technology development and transfer will be crucial to meet the COP27 commitments. We have a great opportunity to build a decarbonized India. Looking at Net-Zero, Net-Zero 2050 will be a collective global effort,&quot; he further added.

	Over the years, with the efforts of the present government, India has developed itself as a key ally for global country partners to accomplish collective Net-Zero goals and fulfill their pledges made at COP27. Speaking on India&#039;s prominence during the Country Leaders&#039; Dialogue, Diedrah Kelly, Consul General of Canada in Mumbai, India stated, &quot;Canada is abundant in diversified energy sources and we are fortunate to have a good capacity in place to support India&#039;s growing energy needs as well as help identify technologies to optimize the country&#039;s capacity.&quot;


	 


	Achim Fabig, Consul General of the Federal Republic of Germany in Mumbai, India accentuated the long-standing relationship between Germany and India.

Your earnings including your initial deposit will be displayed on the screen. This feature is exceptionally useful for senior citizens who need to plan their expenses post-retirement.


	 


	Below is an example where a senior citizen invests Rs. 5,00,000 for different tenure. Here is how much they will receive at the end of their chosen tenure. (w.e.f 4 March, 2023)


	 


	
		
			
				
					Initial deposit
			
			
				
					Tenure
			
			
				
					Interest rate 
			
			
				
					Maturity value
			
		
		
			
				
					Rs. 5,00,000
			
			
				
					12 months
			
			
				
					7.65% p.a.
			
			
				
					Rs. 5,38,250
			
		
		
			
				
					Rs. 5,00,000
			
			
				
					24 months
			
			
				
					7.80% p.a.
			
			
				
					Rs. 5,81,042
			
		
		
			
				
					Rs. 5,00,000
			
			
				
					33 months
			
			
				
					8.00%p.a.
			
			
				
					Rs. 6,17,853
			
		
		
			
				
					Rs. 5,00,000
			
			
				
					44 months
			
			
				
					8.20% p.a.
			
			
				
					Rs. 6,67,52912
			
		
	



	 


	 


	As the table suggests, you can earn higher returns at maturity by investing for a higher tenure. Use the FD calculator to optimise your investments and earn maximum returns.


	 


	2. Safety and credibility


	Apart from the high FD rates, senior citizens can also benefit from the safety and security offered by Bajaj Finance. The company has a high credit rating of FAAA/Stable by CRISIL and MAAA/Stable by ICRA, which indicates a high level of safety and stability.


	 


	3. Flexible payout options


	Another advantage of investing in a Bajaj Finance senior citizen FD is the flexible payout options available. Senior citizens can choose to receive interest payouts on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis. This provides them with a steady source of income and ensures that they can manage their finances effectively. The regular payouts you get can be used to fund repetitive expenses like rent, medical bills, household expenses, and more.


	 


	4. Online investment process


	Investing in Bajaj Finance senior citizen FDs is a simple and hassle-free process. Senior citizens can apply for an FD online by filling in a simple form and uploading the necessary documents. The entire process can be completed in a matter of minutes.


	 


	5. Loan against FD facility


	In case of emergencies that warrant a free flow of cash breaking the FD seems like the only option to meet your liquidity requirements. However, with Bajaj Finance you need not liquidate your FD and lose on earnings. You can avail of an easy loan against FD where you can get up to 75% of the deposit amount against your FD as collateral. You can repay the amount at your ease without having to break the FD at all.


	 


	In conclusion, investing in Bajaj Finance senior citizen FDs is a smart choice for senior citizens who are looking for a safe and secure investment option with high returns. These FD ]]></description>

<title>Kinara Capital Allocates INR 400 Crores in FY24 for HerVikas; Program of Discounted Business Loans for Women Entrepreneurs</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/kinara-capital-allocates-inr-400-crores-in-fy24-for-hervikas-program-of-discounted-business-loans-for-women-entrepreneurs</link>

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			With the latest allocation, HerVikas total commitment tops INR 700 crores to date
	
	
		
			INR 414 crores disbursed across 4,305+ collateral-free business loans for women-owned MSMEs since FY20
	
	
		
			HerVikas Women Entrepreneurs generated INR 125+ crores in incremental income and supported 32,680+ jobs in local economies across 6 States 
			 
	



	Kinara Capital, a fast-growing fintech driving financial inclusion of small business entrepreneurs, marks 4th year anniversary of its HerVikas program by allocating an additional INR 400 crores disbursement in FY24 in discounted business loans for women entrepreneurs. The latest allocation brings the total commitment to date to INR 700 crores solely dedicated to driving financial inclusion of women entrepreneurs from the micro-small-medium enterprise (MSME) sector. Kinara Capital exceeded its previous disbursement goal of INR 300 crores from FY20-23, with 38% higher disbursement of INR 414 crores across 4,305+ HerVikas business loans for women-owned MSMEs.


	 


	Hardika Shah, Founder &amp; CEO of Kinara Capital, said, &quot;HerVikas has firmly established the importance and the viability of women-centric financial services in India. With approximately 100 crores disbursed each year, we are now doubling down and pledging INR 400 crores disbursement in FY24 solely for MSME women entrepreneurs. This will lead to reaching 10,000 HerVikas discounted business loans by next year. Entrepreneurship is a powerful way to aim for gender parity. Financial independence of women immediately gives them agency and leads to betterment of families and communities. Women Entrepreneurs can rapidly drive economic and social change and are critical to India&#039;s ambition of becoming a $5 trillion economy. &quot; 


	 


	Since the program was initiated in FY20, the impact of the HerVikas business loans has led to over INR 125+ crores in Incremental Income Generation for the women entrepreneurs and over 32,680+ jobs supported in local economies. Of these, 2,535+ are New Jobs created with 20% of these new jobs going to women workers and 61% of the new jobs to first-time wage earners. About 70% of the jobs created are from MSME sub-sectors of Food Products, Textiles and Fashion/Clothing. The highest number of HerVikas business owners are from Tamil Nadu and the top sub-sector is Fashion/Clothing businesses in the Trading sector.
	 


	Impact of HerVikas - www.youtube.com/watchv=dmJhUCWg18g.


	 


	Kinara Capital is furthering its mission of financial inclusion with a Gender Lens Investing (GLI) approach. The HerVikas program was initiated to empower women entrepreneurs and the automatic discount is just one part of the solution. Kinara has addressed the topmost hurdle for women entrepreneurs by providing collateral-free business credit available from INR 1 lakh to INR 30 lakhs within 24-hours. With its multilingual myKinara App, the effective deployment of AI/ML removes human bias from credit-decisioning largely benefiting women entrepreneurs. This is important because while only 20% of MSMEs in India are women-owned, they make up nearly 40% of the USD $400 billion MSME credit gap, clearly indicating there are systemic challenges for women entrepreneurs.


	 


	Among others, these challenges include fewer women owning land or property to offer as collateral, inherent bias on part of the lenders against women as business owners, difficulty physically visiting a branch multiple times for loan applications, and a persistent digital and knowledge gap that limits access to information for women. Kinara Capital also offers omnichannel support with doorstep customer service, Whatsapp chat, email, missed call and toll-free phone number access to customer care. And lastly, the free Grow with Kinara workshop series offered in vernacular languages aims to bridge the knowledge gap by bringing forth trusted information to business owners.


	 


	The HerVikas program from Kinara Capital is available for MSME women entrepreneurs in 100+ cities across Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, and UT Puducherry.


	 


	About Kinara Capital


	Kinara Capital is a fast-growing fintech company and is globally recognized for disrupting the small business lending model in India by democratizing access to collateral-free business credit in India. Kinara Capital has disbursed over INR 4,500+ crores to date across 87,000+ collateral-free business loans thereby propelling vast financial inclusion of India&#039;s MSME sector. Leading with a women-majority management team, Kinara Capital has raised the bar for gender inclusivity internally as an organization and externally with its HerVikas program for women entrepreneurs. The company is qualified as a Systemically Important NBFC by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and is a debt-listed entity on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Founded in 2011, and headquartered in Bangalore, Kina ]]></description>

	Amidst the plethora of films created by brands to celebrate women, one film that clearly stands out from the rest is the unique video made by Cycle Pure Agarbathi.

Over 75% of our workforce comprises of women, who have helped it grow from strength to strength over 75 years. One could say that were a company that is truly empowered by women.&quot;


	
	As a brand, weve always innovated and embraced the latest technology. We were the first in our category to use computers, to use ai for automation, and now we experimented with artificial intelligence to celebrate our real heroes. We wanted to pay tribute to the hands that keep prayer and hope alive, by making billions of prayers possible, every single day. Quite like ai, its quite surreal.&#039;


	 


	The film showcases womens hands using the typical ai generated surrealistic frames. The soundtrack of the film was is a modern day rendition of the devotional song &quot;aigiri nandini&quot;, a befitting track that celebrates the goddess Chamundeshwari who waged war against evil forces atop Chamundi hills in Mysore, the sacred city where Cycle Pure is proudly headquartered.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	
		
			The survey brings together insights from both the developer and tech recruiter segments for the first time
	
	
		
			It dives into the how the tech recruiting landscape has changed since recent economic conditions pushed recruiters companies to announce layoffs and adopt austerity measures again
	
	
		
			The survey shows how the gap between tech recruiters and developer expectations has consistently narrowed since 2020, and the rising demand for value propositions like upskilling and knowledge-sharing
	



	 


	HackerEarth, a global HR tech company providing leading solutions to sources, assess, upskill and engage software developer talent, today released its annual State of Developer Ecosystem report. The report has leveraged comparative insights by polling recruiters, engineering managers, and developers to form a comprehensive, in-depth account of where tech recruiting stands today.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	HackerEarths recent survey brings together insights from developers and the tech recruiting fraternity to help better hiring amidst the downturn


	 


	According to recent data published by The World Economic Forum, over 42% of all jobs are expected to undergo significant changes, highlighting the increasing importance of skills such as analytics, critical thinking, and advanced problem-solving. HackerEarths State of Developer Ecosystem report also reveals the rising desire among developers to sharpen their Blockchain and Data Science competencies, their growing demand to be assessed fairly for their skills via developer-friendly dedicated tech hiring platforms, and the need for more equity in the workplace.


	 


	HackerEarth&#039;s report shows that in 2023, tech talent expects transparent communication, honest workplace reviews, better performance improvement plans. They also expect their organizations to create value and affect real-life change through their tech, or CSR initiatives, and this is reflected in their approach towards DEI initiatives.


	 


	Additionally, developers want biases against self-taught developers to be eliminated, highlighting the emergence of a skill-first approach to employment. HackerEarth&#039;s State of Developer Ecosystem report also highlights that 87.9% of self-taught developers have faced biases when applying for jobs.


	 


	&quot;Tech is one of those sectors that lives in a dual reality. We are at the forefront of all innovation, and yet we are also the ones hit hardest by the current global headwinds. Our aim with this survey was to bring together the two sides of the tech recruiting coin, and build a comprehensive snapshot of what ails tech hiring and what can be improved. I believe by examining both the developer perspective and the recruiting perspective side-by-side, we can build resilient, talented and inclusive tech teams that can weather any storms that may lie ahead,&quot; said Sachin Gupta, CEO of HackerEarth.


	 


	Key findings from the 2023 State of Developer Recruitment Report include: 


	 


	Hiring is mostly frozen, except for a slight thaw among certain sectors


	- 40% of the recruiters are unsure of the market conditions and didn&#039;t know when they would start hiring again.


	- Only 20% of the recruiters said they planned to hire upwards of 100 developers in the coming days.


	 


	The tech community and their needs


	- Developers indicate that the use of tech hiring tools, ongoing skills development, and clear understanding of the technology stack are essential components for improving the hiring process.


	- Upskilling in demand with 17.74% of developers aiming to sharpen their skills in Blockchain, and 17.66% choosing Data Science.


	 


	Developers feel that organizations have made efforts to facilitate better alignment


	- Three years after COVID, about 86% of organizations and 78.7% of developers feel that the tech hiring process has improved for the better.


	- Organizations have re-aligned their hiring flow to enhance candidate experience through the use of knowledge-sharing as an engagement tool. Social media and employer branding also features heavily in their plans to attract Gen Z talent.


	- It is also clear that developers favor the use of automated tools for hiring with 44.61% of them saying they would appreciate being assessed via dedicated tech hiring platforms.


	 


	Collaboration between recruiters and hiring managers has always been a source of friction, and newer challenges are thrown up as behaviors and expectations change


	- FullStack developer roles remain challenging to fill due the high demand in similar tech fields such as blockchain, machine learning, and data science.


	- Recruiters also believe that remote work has reduced accountability across teams and caused siloing of functions; however, this may slowly see a change with the newer generation preferring to either work in a hybrid mode  ]]></description>

<title>Get a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan at Interest Rates Starting Just 0.83% per Month</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/get-a-bajaj-finserv-gold-loan-at-interest-rates-starting-just-083-per-month</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/get-a-bajaj-finserv-gold-loan-at-interest-rates-starting-just-083-per-month</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	To help borrowers get a loan against their gold jewellery, Bajaj Finserv offers gold loans starting just 0.83% per month. These loans range from Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 2 crore and can be availed by pledging 22-karat gold jewellery.


	 


	Borrowers are free to use the loan amount to manage almost any planned or unplanned expense such as a medical expense, the cost of a home renovation project, or even a business requirement.


	 


	Since the gold jewellery serves as collateral, the interest rate on the loan is typically lower than that on an unsecured loan. This is one of the main reasons why gold loans more popular than credit cards or unsecured loans. Interest rates on gold loans from Bajaj Finserv start at 0.83% per month.


	 


	Here are some of the features that make the Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan a great choice for borrowers:


	 


	
		
			Easy eligibility parameters 
	



	A Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan has basic eligibility requirements. Anyone who is an Indian citizen and is between the ages of 21 to 70 can apply for a gold loan. Borrowers just need to provide the necessary KYC documents, like Aadhaar card, voter ID, passport, or drivers licence.


	 


	
		
			Convenient repayment options 
	



	Borrowers have multiple tenure options to manage their loan repayment. They have the option to pay interest on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis. With the part-release facility offered by Bajaj Finserv, borrowers can also get back a part of their pledged gold jewellery by repaying the same amount before the end of their loan tenure.


	 


	
		
			Transparent asset evaluation
	



	Bajaj Finserv has a transparent evaluation process to determine the value of the pledged gold jewellery. All gold jewellery is tested with top-grade karat metres to ensure that buyers receive maximum value for their gold. As an added safety measure, the gold jewellery pledged as collateral is stored in secure vaults under 24/7 surveillance. Bajaj Finserv also offers a free insurance of the pledged gold jewellery.


	 


	
		
			No part-prepayment or foreclosure fee
	



	Borrowers can also repay a part of their loan in advance or pay the entire amount at no extra charges. This further reduces the overall loan servicing expenditure.


	 


	
		
			Free online EMI calculator 
	



	The Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan EMI calculator lets borrowers estimate their loan amount based on the weight and purity of their gold jewellery. Before opting for a loan, they can assess how much interest will be charged and how to plan their repayment.


	 


	How to apply for a gold loan from Bajaj Finserv


	Borrowers can walk into a Bajaj Finserv branch near them or apply online, from the comfort of their home, by visiting the Bajaj Finserv website and following these simple steps:


	 


	Step 1: Navigate to the Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan page.


	Step 2: Select and open the online application form.


	Step 3: Fill in your first and last name as it appears on your PAN Card.


	Step 4: Enter your 10-digit mobile number and select your city.


	Step 5: Enter the OTP sent to your registered mobile number and submit the application.


	Step 6: Set up your appointment at the nearest gold loan branch office, from the options displayed to you, and bring your gold jewellery there in person for evaluation.


	
	Visit the Bajaj Finserv website to apply for a gold loan today.

<title>Saarathee&#45;A Firm that Chose the Path of Inclusion, Completes 5 Years</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/saarathee-a-firm-that-chose-the-path-of-inclusion-completes-5-years</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/saarathee-a-firm-that-chose-the-path-of-inclusion-completes-5-years</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Saarathee, a visionary company that aims to deliver business &amp; social impact by operationalizing inclusion of persons with disabilities within the corporate workforce, completes its 5 years. It has travelled the path of inclusion since its inception in 2018 - where it hired, trained and nurtured people with different disabilities in its business; and delivered business outcomes. Hence it has set a path for itself and other corporates to follow on their journey to drive inclusion.


	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	People of Saarathee


	 


	Saarathee CRM was founded in 2018 by Richa Bansal and Arjun Vishwanathan with the objective of delivering positive business outcomes via employing and enabling Persons with Disabilities. Saarathee has trained and hired more than 350 people. More than 90% of its workforce is represented by people with disabilities. 


	
	Saarathee was not started for social work; but to build an organization that would be equitable and set the course for others within industry to follow. What started as a 5 member team has, in the last 5 years, employed or generated employment for more than 350 people with different disabilities across the country. For people at the organisation it was their first job ever or first job after being disabled - not only have they stayed with Saarathee, but grown leaps and bounds breaking all barriers of imagination and expectations.


	
	Saarathee has not only managed to hire persons with disabilities, it has also given them a career path by giving them cross functional roles helping them find both vertical and horizontal growth through regular training and upskilling interventions. Today Saarathee is its best case study when it comes to delivering inclusion as a business case. Saarathee has operated on an attrition rate of less than 10% which has resulted in cost efficiencies for the organisation and its clients. 


	
	Saarathee is in the process of creating a unique Inclusion Transformation Platform which will converge technology and human capital to transform disability inclusion. They hope to help corporates navigate their inclusion journeys by helping them understand their current state of maturity on inclusion, offer them advisory support to help position and build the right internal narrative, sensitise internal stakeholders, enable accessible environments, and provide job ready resources to deploy across relevant job roles.


	
	Their vision and mission is to build intent and action across corporates &amp; PwDs to drive equal opportunities for professionals with disabilities, thereby bridging the gap of inclusion by making them contributing members of society. And to transform, persons with disabilities into proffessionld with disabilities by converging EdTech, hiring and change management such that corporates can truly unleash the potential of PwD.


	
	On the occasion of completing a milestone of 5 years, Ms. Richa Bansal, Founder and Managing Director of Saarathee shares her thoughts, &quot;The decision to consciously nurture persons with disabilities towards senior positions came as a result of belief and confidence shown by our young team. We identified potential, enabled opportunities, a sustained learning path and nurtured them in roles across Operations, HR, IT, Accounts, Training and Marketing. While it gave confidence and hope to our people, it gave us a showcase for industry. Our team began to service clients independently, work on customized IT integration, drive pro-active data analysis, create HR engagement programs, drive digital engagements and build a community etc. As Saarathee we were on a path to building an organisation and a showcase where 90% of our people were persons with different disabilities (70% being People with Vision Impairment), 70% working from home seamlessly across 13 different states.&quot;


	
	As we move forward today and having navigated the threshold of being a pilot project in building a business case of inclusion, our logical question was - why this could not be translated across other progressive organisations. We observed many organisations inclusion ready, but struggling to make it a success because they were not able to piece it all together. They continue to struggle with recruitment, training, growth plans, internal readiness, sensitisation and more! That is when Saarathee decided to anchor their journey of inclusion. We have since assisted many DeI leaders in helping them build their internal inclusion narrative, conducted awareness sessions, helps drive recruitment, train and upskill PwD.&#039;


	
	Saarathee is a visionary company which aims to deliver business &amp; social impact by operationalising inclusion of Persons with Disabilities within the corporate workforce. Saarathee&#039;s premise is built on the foundation of enabling sustainable change by offering a seamless connect between Persons with Disabilities (PwDs), Corporates and Inclusion Enablers by bridging the gaps of ]]></description>

<title>Exotel Launches Ameyo XTRM, an Industry&#45;First Telco Regulatory Compliant, Enterprise Contact Center Solution in India</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/exotel-launches-ameyo-xtrm-an-industry-first-telco-regulatory-compliant-enterprise-contact-center-solution-in-india</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/exotel-launches-ameyo-xtrm-an-industry-first-telco-regulatory-compliant-enterprise-contact-center-solution-in-india</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	Exotel, a leading full-stack customer engagement platform, today announced the launch of Ameyo XTRM, a cloud-based omnichannel contact center solution for 99.5% uptime. Ameyo XTRM is a pure cloud-based enterprise product running on top of Exotels scalable Communications Platform as a Service (CPaaS) that supports up to 35 million calls per day and billions of calls in a year. Ameyo XTRM can now support large volumes of voice communications for up to 20,000 agents and supervisors per enterprise at a time. It is also equipped with AI-powered bots acting as the first line of customer engagement before agents need to intervene, reducing the dependence on agent intervention and improving their productivity. This will enable agents to focus more on complex queries. In situations where the bot finds a query challenging to handle after a particular point, it is supported by a seamless bot-to-agent transfer.


	
	Ameyo XTRM is the only software in India equipped with a pan-India Unified License Virtual Network Operator (UL-VNO) and offers fully-compliant bundled telephony services as per telecommunications regulations. Consequently, it is quick to deploy and does not require implementing or updating legacy infrastructure to begin incorporating it into CX practices. It can help enterprises move their software and telecom infrastructure completely on cloud in a compliant way enabling agents to work from anywhere. This will help enterprises consolidate communication management processes into a single platform. Companies will now be able to stay cost-effective while scaling up their customer engagement rapidly and reliably. 


	
	The cloud contact center market is undergoing significant transformation, with Gartner predicting that by 2024, 85% of customer support operations will be driven by cloud-based infrastructure, up from less than 20% in 2019. The growth is influenced by increasing migration from on-premise to cloud models in emerging markets, as well as a proclivity towards AI-based interactive tools for quick customer resolution. 


	
	According to a CMO Pulse Report launched by Exotel, surveying 263 marketing leaders, customer retention over acquisition emerged as one of the most prominent marketing themes for 2023. As loyalty begins to hold the ultimate priority for brands across sectors, Ameyo XTRM presents enterprises an opportunity to implement massive reforms towards customer engagement, increasing customer satisfaction scores, decreasing support costs and scaling support volumes for rapid resolution. 


	
	&quot;Building upon the promise of the cloud, we&#039;re delighted to launch Ameyo XTRM to support the digital transformation of companies across sectors, implementing a reliable, flexible, and scalable solution to modernize their customer support capabilities,&quot; said Shivakumar Ganesan, Co-founder &amp; CEO, Exotel. He added, &quot;with the additional ability to offer fully regulatory compliant cloud calling, over time, Exotel has emerged as one of the few key players in India providing a truly unified solution for customer engagement. The launch is just a precursor to expanding our capabilities, adopting and incorporating emerging technologies and capabilities in our product suite.&quot; 


	
	About Exotel 


	Exotel is the emerging market&#039;s leading full stack customer engagement platform and business-focused virtual telecom operator. Exotel has also recently received a virtual telecom operator license to offer cost-effective end-to-end VoIP telephony services, making the company a 100% compliant cloud calling operator. Exotel was founded in 2011 and has an impressive cloud-based product suite that drives 70 million conversations every day for more than 6000 businesses in India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Today, the omnichannel contact center, communication API suite, and conversational AI platform from Exotel help some of the fastest-growing businesses in emerging countries manage their customer engagement. They have a $50 million ARR and a $100 million Series D funding round.

<description><![CDATA[ 
	Bajaj Finserv offers secured gold loans at interest rates starting just 0.83% per month. Customers can get gold loans ranging from Rs. 5,000 all the way up to Rs. 2 crore in exchange for their 22-karat gold jewellery. Indian citizens between the ages of 21 to 70 can easily apply by providing the necessary KYC documents.


	
	Here are some of the top reasons why a Bajaj Finserv Gold Loan is a great option for borrowers:
	 


	Part-release facility


	With the part-release facility, borrowers can get back a part of their pledged gold jewellery by repaying the same amount before the end of their loan tenure.
	 


	Multiple repayment options 


	Borrowers have multiple tenure options to manage their loan repayment. They have the option of making interest payments on a monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly basis.
	 


	No part-prepayment fee


	In addition to low gold loan interest rates, Bajaj Finserv also lets borrowers pay back all or part of the loan amount in advance at no extra cost.
	 


	Online gold loan calculator


	The online gold loan EMI calculator provided by Bajaj Finserv allows customers to estimate the loan amount based on the weight and purity of their gold jewellery. They can also calculate the payable interest and the monthly repayment options before taking a loan.
	 


	Transparent evaluation


	Bajaj Finserv has a transparent gold evaluation process. Best-in-class karat meters are used to make sure customers get maximum value in exchange for their gold jewellery. Also, the pledged gold jewellery is stored in highly secure vaults under 24x7 surveillance.
	 


	Speedy loan disbursement


	Since a loan against gold jewellery is secured with tangible gold, it is comparatively easier to get the loan sanctioned with minimal document verification and a shorter processing time. Borrowers can get a loan in as little as 24 hours.*


	
	How to apply for a gold loan from Bajaj Finserv

			Divided into two cohorts the first leg featured peer meet ups across Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi and Mumbai
	
	
		
			Application for Cohort 2 are now open
	



	 


	91Springboard, one of India&#039;s leading coworking communities, in partnership with Google for Startups (GfS), concluded the first cohort of their &#039;Level Up&#039; programme. The initiative is a nationwide virtual accelerator program that enables women entrepreneurs to take their startups to the next level. 183 women founders were vetted and selected to receive mentorship from the best in the business. 71 mentors provided masterclasses, peer meetups, tools and expertise for three months to build and scale their businesses. With the startup culture percolating into deeper pockets of the country, cohort 1 included women entrepreneurs from cities, such as Chandigarh, Surat, Indore, Pune and others in addition to the top metro cities.
	 


	
		
			
				
		
	



	Women Entrepreneurs during Level Up mentor training


	 


	Cohort 1, formed in August 2022, received more than 360 applications. The peer meetups were held at 91Springboard hubs in Bengaluru, Delhi, Pune and Mumbai.


	 


	The entrepreneurs were given insights and guidance from accomplished mentors from Google and other leading corporations. The mentors acted as sounding boards, and worked with the women founders on their challenges and to work out strategies to scale their business from X to 10X. Through the course of the program 200+ hours were spent on mentoring the founders with 12+ hours in formal networking.


	 


	With the positive response received for Cohort 1 which concluded on February 25, Cohort 2 of the Level Up program will commence in March and continue till July 2023. Women entrepreneurs wishing to participate in the &#039;Level Up&#039; program can register here: Cohort II Application form


	 


	Anand Vemuri, CEO, 91Springboard, said, &quot;Lately, we have witnessed a surge of women entrepreneurs becoming self-reliant and independent. It is great that our government is supporting them and we at 91Springboard are doing our bit. 91Springboard believes in nurturing growth through learning opportunities. This collaboration with GfS for Level Up will boost the confidence of the founders and assist them in their journey.&quot;


	 


	Nicole Yap, Partnership Manager, Google for Startups, added, &quot;It is our abiding belief at Google that to build universally relevant and helpful solutions, the companies and ecosystems building this have to be fully inclusive and diverse. Women founders still comprise a very small fraction of the overall pie and we think programs that facilitate and enable this representation are very timely and highly important. We are pleased to collaborate with 91Springboard for this.&quot;


	 


	Women entrepreneurs have been integral to the Indian economy&#039;s transformational journey. While there was slow momentum in terms of women founders initially, India has witnessed an upsurge in women establishing successful businesses over the last couple of years. Therefore, supporting them leads to a better and more dynamic entrepreneurship environment, creates jobs and imparts new perspectives to businesses.

<description><![CDATA[ 
		
			Propose to invest $100 million (Rs. 100 crore for Tamil Nadu) in India
	
	
		
			Aim to hire 2000 individuals before2025
	
	
		
			The goal is to launch 20 dealerships in Chennai
	

	 


	A smart electric mobility manufacturing startup with a Make In India focus, DAO EVTech is preparing to establish a significant presence in India by manufacturing innovative, reliable and superior-quality products. On March 2, 2023, a event for DAOs new line of electric automobiles was conducted in Chennai. DAO EVTechs Chairman and CEO, Dr. Michael Liu, unveiled the new vehicles and elaborated the companys plans for expansion in India.


	 


				
		
	Dr. Michael Liu, Chairman &amp; CEO of DAO EVTech introducing a new EV at Chennai


	Dr. Michael Liu, Chairman &amp; CEO of DAO EVTech, stated that the &quot;Tamil Nadu market is crucial to any EV two-wheeler manufacturer during the launch event. There are three basic reasons for this. 1st is Tamilnadus capital Chennai has the highest two-wheeler penetration rate of 73%, which is nearly double that of other major cities such as Mumbai and Bangalore. EV is a growing business that is more focused on young individuals who embrace technology quickly, and the state has a large population, making Tamilnadu an EV-friendly state. Any quality product supplier, like DAO, is encouraged to enter this market by the states welcoming culture and its citizens attention to detail, commitment to excellence, and logical analysis. We will continue investing $100 million in India, and in 2023, well set aside $20 million for the development of novel products. With this $100 million investment, we have specifically set aside Rs. 100 crores for Tamil Nadu. With our expansion strategy, we expect to generate 2000 new positions over the next two years.&quot;


	India is involved in the global EV shift, he continued. The EU has set a goal for its member states to switch to 100% electric vehicles by the year 2035, while China has already reached a 4W EV penetration rate of 40% and the United States is committed to achieving 50% EV penetration by that same year. With the strongest intellectual assets, the largest population, and the third-largest vehicle market in the world, India is unquestionably spearheading this transformation. Yet, given that India is the largest 2W market in the world with a per capita GDP of $2400 and a registration rate of 90% 2W vehicles, this transition will be unique in India starting today. According to market analysis by McKinsey &amp; Company, the Indian market would grow 20 times over the next four years, reaching 9 million electric vehicle units by 2030. We are currently witnessing market expansion. On a volume basis, the market increased three times last year. The traditional trade model is being replaced by other competitive players as the EV 2W market diversifies.


	 


	DAO EVTech already have active dealerships in Madurai, Polachi, Coimbatore, and Thanjavur in Tamilnadu state. In particular, the 20 dealerships that DAO had planned to open in Chennai will all be able to do business within the next few months. DAO is now focusing on building and developing the dealerships connecting power; it will soon grow significant cities like Chennai as its centre for regular demand fulfilment in nearby Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.


	DAO is not only focused to Tier 1 cities, but it is also focusing on Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets with its varied product range for each market. In addition to our flagship model, the DAO 703, we also offer the ZOR 405, which is well-liked in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. With a 220 kg load capacity, the Zor 405 has a low centre of gravity, a sturdy foot stand, and dual suspension. For the working class in the suburbs and cities, it is ideal. The products objective is to simplify difficult job. DAO provides its extended partners with the DAO Entrust programme. We have specialised teams for each area to assist our current and future dealers, with marketing and branding being one of them.


	About DAO EVTech
	DAO was established in the year 2019, since its inception, DAO has dedicated itself to moving the world closer to the Indian consumer and providing reliable, durable, and affordable EV products. It has been made a reality with the local supplier ecosystem and enabled all significant components to be made in India. In the year 2022, we started production at our factory at Chakan, Pune. DAO is a local start-up based in Pune enabled with 20 years 2W EV manufacturing capabilities and investment from the US. We dedicate to lifting the old simple trader model to integrate global power to better serve Indian consumers. DAO has been invested by a u.s. Michigan based DAO EVTech LLC and its promoter Dr. Michael Liu is supporting company growth and currently it is working with a global PE firm for its private placement to manage the capital 40 million dollars.

<title>IPRS: Shaping the Future as a Music Copyright Society</title>
<link>https://www.thebizzstories.com/iprs-shaping-the-future-as-a-music-copyright-society</link>
<guid>https://www.thebizzstories.com/iprs-shaping-the-future-as-a-music-copyright-society</guid>
<description><![CDATA[ 
	The IPRS has gone on to become the most invaluable and desired support system of the Indian music industry today. Standing strong for owner&#039;s rights, royalties, and promoting the creators causes, have been driving IPRS while keeping it invigorated and focused over the years. 


				
		
	Mr. Javed Akhtar, Chairman at IPRS


	The amendments in the Copyright Act in 2012 cleared the way for a new beginning for IPRS and the fraternity of Music Creators &amp; Publishers. IPRS set forth on its new journey in 2017 with a clear task in hand, led by the new board and Javed Akhtar as the Chairman. The same year IPRS got registered as a Copyright Society by the Government of India. The IPRS has since then grown from strength to strength to become the leading music copyright society in India, representing the authors, composers, and publishers of music. In 2018 the re-admittance of the IPRS as a Copyright Society in the apex Paris-based International Confederation of Societies of Authors &amp; Composers (CISAC) further led to the wider acceptance of the IPRS as a top global copyright society. 


	 


	The following years saw IPRS signing strategic licensing deals with major International Digital Service Providers (DSPs) and significant players in the Indian music industry shooting the IPRS revenue from INR 46 crores in FY 2017-18 to a whooping INR 314 crores in FY 21-22. A jump of over 500% in 5 years. IPRS went on to be recognised as the fastest-growing music collection society in the world by CISAC. During the recent pandemic, the critical role of copyright societies like IPRS became even more evident when the regular sources of income from the music industry were severely hit. By distributing royalty amounting to INR 210 crores, along with regular grants and aids, IPRS has proven its pivotal role in the sustenance and welfare of the Music community. FY 22-23 IPRS is expected to touch INR 400 crores in revenues and surpass INR 300 crores in royalty distribution. 


	 


	With the growing role of copyright societies in the digital era, there&#039;s little to benefit and everything to lose without embracing technology in its ever-evolving avatar. Being the progressive society it is, it was only expected that IPRS would readily adapt to new-age technology for the benefit of its members. The launch of the Backoffice backed Members Portal has been a major milestone in terms of technology advancement and has brought increased transparency to the overall system. IPRS members, today, unlike in earlier years, are in control of their data and have the convenience of checking their data online thus flagging off errors and helping in efficient data management. 


	 


	Today, music is created, distributed, and consumed digitally. But tracking, matching, processing, and distributing billions of usages is incredibly complex and requires massive investments in IT and specialised human resources. Better licensing and improved data management &amp; processing backed by technology have been the secret sauce of IPRS success. The result of this development is visible through increased income, robust data processing along with frequent and increased royalty distribution. IPRS will continue to improve its systems for greater transparency and a better experience for its members and licensees.


	 


	On the membership front, IPRS has been very active in speaking to members and listening to them. Advancement in technology has made it mandatory for the modern-day creator to be hand in hand with the need to upgrade to rapid changes. IPRS&#039;s ongoing forays to help music creators and publishers achieve their goals through knowledge and know-how are efforts to help them deduce how the music business works at an everyday level. It has also emerged as a strong voice for its members on issues plaguing the music industry, on various platforms, and in multiple institutions. Such and many other visionary initiatives have seen the IPRS membership mount up to over 10K. More and more music composers, authors, and publishers have begun investing their implicit faith in IPRS. 


	 


	The coming times will see a fully geared-up IPRS shinning amid emerging opportunities and challenges, adhering to the highest levels of commitment while remaining true to its core values of Solidarity, Equality, Resilience, and Transparency to serve the interests of its members and the music community at large. 


	 


	Commenting on IPRS&#039;s journey so far, legendary poet, lyricist, screenwriter, and IPRS Chairman Javed Akhtar Sahab said, &quot;I am pleased with the IPRS&#039;s initiatives, led by the CEO, Mr. Rakesh Nigam, to not only safeguard the rights of music creators but also consistently reach out to them through various initiatives to ensure they are aware of their rights over the music they create. I am happy that the IPRS not only survived the pandemic but could also distribute frequent royalties to the members and financial aid to many struggling  ]]></description>
