George Alexander Muthoot, Managing Director, Muthoot Finance, said: “It is a matter of great pride for us that not only do we comply with the highest standards of regulatory compliance, as prescribed by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), but have also consistently delivered strong business growth. As we move forward, Muthoot Finance remains committed to strengthening our leadership in the gold loan industry while broadening our portfolio with new products and services to meet the diverse financial needs of our customers. NBFCs are vital for the country’s growth as they enable financial inclusion for a large population who otherwise would not have easy access to credit. We are focused on addressing the needs of the MSME segment through a diverse set of product offerings. This is exemplified by the fact that 66% of women gold loan borrowers use the funds to support their small or micro businesses, which play a crucial role in driving economic development. We believe that we can continue our strong growth momentum and remain steadfast as an ‘Upper Layer NBFC’ for a decade or more”
