PayRupik Wins ‘Excellence in Scalable Digital Lending’ Award at World Fintech Summit 2026

Strengthening the discussion on credit accessibility

Another major component of PayRupik’s participation involved its presentation during the panel discussion “NBFC Innovation: Technology and Credit Accessibility”. Govind Kumar, Chief Technology Officer at Sayyam Investments Private Limited, gave his inputs on how alternative data can be leveraged to better refine underwriting mechanisms for customers that lack creditworthiness from the traditional perspective.

In particular, the discussion touched upon the growing use of transaction SMS analytics, behaviour in paying utilities, Account Aggregator solutions, GST-related business activity data, information about devices, and banking statements as ways for lenders to gain better insights into the behaviour of their customers.

“Alternative data is gradually helping the industry move beyond conventional credit assessment models and build a more contextual understanding of customer behaviour. The larger opportunity lies in balancing financial accessibility with responsible underwriting, transparency, and long-term customer trust,” stated Govind Kumar, CTO, Sayyam Investments Private Limited.

The discussion showed how behavioural and transactional insights could enable the assessment of both the intention and capability to repay. For the digital lending market and NBFCs specifically, such a development is becoming increasingly relevant and crucial.

Towards creating the future of responsible finance

In one of the key events hosted as part of the summit programme, Maaz Ahmed, Senior Product Manager at Sayyam Investments Private Limited, spoke on the topic “Building the Future of Responsible Finance.”

The key focus of the keynote was on the way India’s digital public infrastructure and tools like UPI and digital onboarding are contributing to increased financial accessibility. There were some highlights about the increasingly important presence of fintech firms in newer fields like health financing, BBPS-enabled transactions, and co-lending platforms.

Some interesting talks held during the summit were about the ability of NBFCs to provide more financial accessibility through better engagement models using artificial intelligence, multi-language support, and digitalised loan processes.
