Commenting on the financial results, Mr. Sudipta Roy, Managing Director & CEO, LTF said, “During the quarter, our focus remained firmly on execution and growth, enabling us to deliver a strong performance in a quarter traditionally considered a weak one in the BFSI industry. The performance highlights the improved momentum in all our lines of business, across rural and urban geographies, driven by the transformation initiatives carried over the last few quarters. Our investments in technology, talent, revamp and expansion of branch infrastructure, brand building and continued focus on customer centricity as a part of our 5-pillar execution strategy have started to yield early dividends for us.

Our Gold loans segment added to the loan portfolio in the first quarter of this financial year gained significant momentum during this quarter. In line with our aspiration of becoming a leading Pan-India gold finance player in the country, we remain committed to continuously expand our geo-presence across the country through branch expansion. By the end of this financial year, we plan to add around 200 new branches taking our gold distribution strength to around 330 gold loan branches.

In addition, the Company operationalized the beta rollout of ‘Project Nostradamus’, an AI driven automated real-time portfolio management engine in the Two-wheeler business in addition to scaling up the AI driven next-gen digital credit engine ‘Project Cyclops’ in the SME business. Our digital large partnerships continued to scale in the second quarter of this financial year with Google Pay being the latest addition to our list of marquee big tech partners for origination of Personal Loans.

On the back of good monsoons and improving customer consumption sentiment, we are confident that this momentum will accelerate in the second half of this financial year on the back of festive demand fueled by GST 2.0 reforms.”
