As a leading innovator in the individual microlending space, Swadhaar set out to analyze their customer data to reduce the time needed to deliver individual loans, and to implement superior risk mitigation strategies based on a thorough analysis of their clients\u2019 histories.<\/p>\n
Upon analyzing their data, Swadhaar found that it was possible to tailor products by various business types, and to further segment these into six distinct groups. The team forecasted profitability margins of these groups based on scale and location, and standardized household and business expenses based on number of household members. An analysis of these businesses demonstrated that net business income continued to grow for repeat clients across cycles, an indicator that individual loans are indeed beneficial for micro-entrepreneurs. However, there was insufficient data to come up with a credit scoring model for new clients, though a scoring model for repeat clients was possible.<\/p>\n
Swadhaar has shared detailed data (by business groups), which for the first time goes into as granular of detail as monthly sales, profitability margins, cash flows, inventory rotation cycles, household expenses, and assets owned, allowing organizations to bypass the years it takes to collect and analyze such data.<\/p>\n
