In-depth: RBI warning to NBFCs on algo lending sparks concerns among MSME lenders?
Lack of access to affordable bank credit for MSMEs has remained a perennial issue for not just the entrepreneurs but also for lenders and the government alike to bring businesses in the informal economy into the formal fold. Poor credit access emanates from the lack of collateral with MSMEs to pledge against the credit. To tide over this challenge, over the past few years, banks and non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have been gradually integrating historical data of MSMEs including GST filings, cash flow information, and more to underwrite business or working capital loans to them.

How much a Rs 1 lakh investment in gold, real estate and Indian stocks has grown in 20 years
When it comes to investment purposes, three asset classes – gold, real estate and equity – score over other options. These three investment avenues too have their pros and cons, like other options. Gold for decades has been a preferred choice for Indian households due to traits like safe-haven appeal, liquidity advantage and cultural significance. Real estate is another popular investment avenue for people, thanks to low volatility and high returns in the medium- to long-term. On the other hand, equity gives a feeling of ownership to an investor after purchasing the stock of a particular company.

Rishi Sunak’s visa politics has implications for Indian students
Does the political survival of Britain’s first Indian-origin prime minister call for the sacrifice of the dreams of thousands of Indian students aspiring to study in the UK and find a job there to pay off the loans they have taken to finance their education? We hope Rishi Sunak will rise above the primitive instinct to make sacrifices and instead turn fortune's grimace into a smile. Right now, Rishi Sunak’s Conservative Party is on a losing wicket in British politics. It has lost all recent by-elections and city council elections.
