EP015 - Tide - In conversation with Gurjodhpal Singh, CEO - India, Tide

The India FinTech Diaries

The MSME sector has long been called the backbone of the Indian economy. We have seen the evolution of the sector from one primarily manufacturing simple products to one producing competitive and sophisticated goods like electronic control systems, medical equipment etc. But the sector remains woefully underserved by financial services with an estimated credit gap of $300 Bn.

To discuss this and more we caught up with Gurjodhpal Singh, CEO - India, Tide. In the episode we cover:

• Overview of the SME space in India
• Trends in digitization and challenges
• Tide’s origin story and plans for India
• Impact of regulations on SME banking in India
• The road ahead for SME banking

So tune in to learn about this fascinating segment.
