Vitto
Developing countries have substantial credit gaps among their low and middle-income groups. In India alone, the credit gap in Micro, Small and Medium enterprises is as high as $300 billion. India's micro-credit market has currently reached more than 150 million borrowers through micro-finance institutions, women’s self-help groups, and credit co-ops with a market size of $50 billion. However, this segment continues to face a huge credit crunch and most micro borrowers end up taking credit from informal segments. Sometimes, they even fall into a debt trap.
Another problem in this industry is that most of its services are still delivered through a physical network of agents. This high touch model leads to:
A. Higher cost of services
B. Lack of systemic data to avail higher ticket loans
C. Inability to deliver added financial services such as insurance and saving.
Vitto - Microfinance.AI’s mobile platform “Vitto '' simplifies the entire microfinancing experience for its users. The platform simplifies customer onboarding and screening. It is an AI-led vernacular mobile app for Microfinance Institutions and their customers. It provides end-to-end customer management, a loan management system, an automated recognition system through face and voice recognition technology, an interactive interface between institutions and customers, and a fully automated grievance redressal system. It is an independent API-led platform designed in a “plug-in model” which can be easily integrated with any existing MFI’s back-end solution.
Vitto aims to digitize the entire operations of the Indian microfinance industry and thereby, maximize the level of financial inclusion in the country. Our AI-powered mobile platform simplifies customer onboarding and screening. It also solves the language barrier problem faced by the micro-borrowers by incorporating a voice-assisted user interface and speech-to-text technology in its application. For lenders, our web dashboard provides complete information on the profile of the borrowers, their credit scores, and a warning of a possible default on their loans.
Our platform is a customer centric platform that prioritizes customer experience. We have built our platform to support multiple languages to address the language barriers faced by low literate customers. We also have added an AI-powered speech-to-text in the local language so that borrowers need not type while using the platform. Through our app, we provide access to credit to new-to-credit customers and thin file customers. We provide customers who have no access to banks or formal institutions a platform to meet their financial requirements. We also have educational videos to improve the financial literacy of our customers.
Our founders, Kapil and Swati have both worked around unserved sections of the society and they know how deprived these areas are in terms of financial inclusion. They have experienced the needs before hand and have come up with a platform - Vitto that will help these rural people get access to financial services with ease.
