India stands on the brink of a transformative decade, one where financial inclusion is not merely a policy objective, but a national imperative. As the world’s fastest-growing major economy, India’s journey toward broad-based financial empowerment is being driven not just by traditional banking institutions, but increasingly by agile and innovative Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs). These firms are redefining the contours of financial access, taking formal credit and financial services to the country’s underserved and unbanked segments, catalysing India’s economic ascent in the process.
With a commanding 22% share of the credit market, NBFCs are no longer peripheral players; they are central architects of India’s evolving financial ecosystem. Their rise reflects not just resilience in the face of regulatory shifts and market headwinds, but also a relentless focus on customer-centric innovation. From MSMEs in Tier-3 towns to first-time borrowers in remote villages, NBFCs are unlocking financial opportunities with intuitive apps, seamless payment systems, and digital-first lending platforms.
This momentum is poised to continue, with industry forecasts projecting an impressive 17% growth rate for NBFCs in FY25. However, scale brings its own set of complexities. The growth trajectory must now be balanced with sharpened focus on compliance, governance, and technological robustness. While digital transformation is revolutionising financial delivery, it also calls for stronger cybersecurity frameworks, smarter risk modeling, and deeper digital literacy among customers and operators alike.
In this context, the role of NBFCs extends beyond financial disbursement. They are now key agents of socioeconomic transformation, tasked with ensuring that growth is inclusive, sustainable, and secure. To navigate this rapidly changing environment, industry leaders must come together to share insights, benchmark best practices, and build resilient frameworks that can sustain growth while managing evolving risks.
It is against this backdrop that Team Marksmen Network’s NBFC Transformation Conclave 2025 is set to be held in Mumbai on April 16, a strategic gathering of the most influential minds shaping the NBFC narrative in India.
This landmark event aims to explore the pivotal role of NBFCs in realising India’s financial inclusion goals. It will offer a high-impact platform for policymakers, CXOs, technology leaders, and financial innovators to converge and deliberate on the sector’s most pressing challenges and promising opportunities. From compliance-led growth and digital acceleration to next-gen customer experience and ESG frameworks, the NBFC Transformation Conclave 2025 will dive deep into what it takes to drive meaningful impact at scale.
Through curated sessions, high-level keynotes, and panel discussions, the Conclave will facilitate a critical exchange of ideas around safeguarding customer trust, building operational agility, and fostering innovation that puts people at the heart of progress. In doing so, it will lay the foundation for a future-ready NBFC ecosystem — one that is more transparent, inclusive, and resilient.
As India charts its next chapter of economic growth, the success of NBFCs will be instrumental in determining how equitable and far-reaching that growth will be. The NBFC Transformation Conclave 2025 is designed to help the industry move forward — together, strategically, and sustainably.
Speaking ahead of the event, Sharad Gupta, Co-founder and Managing Director, Team Marksmen Network, said, “NBFCs are the lifeblood of India’s financial inclusion mission. As we embrace digitization, data intelligence, and inclusive lending, the future belongs to institutions that can marry technology with trust. The NBFC Transformation Conclave 2025 is a vital forum to reimagine our sector’s role in nation-building. It’s where vision meets action, and where industry leaders will come together to define the path ahead.”
