THE TRENDS OF INDIAN RETAIL BANKING SECTOR IN 2018VARUN KESAVAN
The Indian FinTech scene comes with an added extra; new initiatives by the government to boost financial inclusion and promote a cashless society have opened windows of opportunities for FinTech companies where first mover advantages are tremendous. As a result of the government’s initiatives, there has been a sharp increase in consumer adoption of FinTech. EY, one of the big four consulting firms, in their FinTech Adoption Index for 2017 states that 52% of India’s digitally active consumers are adopting FinTech; a figure that is only second to China’s 69% which is the global highest.

Fintech in India is a unique because it is young, growing rapidly, and is fuelled by a large market base. Insights Success "The 10 Best Emerging Fintech Startups in 2018", Our magazine journey begins with the Cover story; CASHe, which provide immediate short-term personal loans to young professionals based on their social profile, merit and earning potential using its proprietary algorithm-based machine learning platform.
An introduction to the fintech space, with additional information on the wealth management space. This presentation was made for my team so that they would better understand the industry they are working in and where it is headed.
The ideas contained in this presentation are of a strategic nature and concern a possible future direction of India’s Energy sector and its various de-carbonization and Net Zero pathways.
The Indian East Coast Energy Corridor (ECEC) is not just an energy security project. In fact, it changes a lot of things, within India’s future energy landscape as it changes not just how and from where we will import petroleum products and export future Green Hydrogen volumes, but it also includes a comprehensive decarbonization and net zero plan for Industry. The plan also stipulates how a significant part of $ 480 Billion in investments in clean energy and next generation technologies can be financed through the design of Innovative hybrids. All of this can be expected to guide national energy policy into the 2040 – 2050 decade.
The proposed investments in deep clean tech projects within ECEC, in batteries, green hydrogen, solar and both onshore and offshore wind are over four times the proposed investments in conventional oil & gas. The only reason the conventional oil & gas component (Part 1) within ECEC is large, is that serious geopolitical issues in India’s neighbourhood were ignored while planning pipeline and logistics networks, over the last 40 years. This is because industry took a US / European energy construct (in Strategic Reserves & pipeline routes for instance) and applied these to India without taking our unique challenges into account.
ECEC’s massive clean energy component includes Digital strategies (i.e the MIT concept) and Industry 4.0 business models to de-carbonize hard to abate sectors such as oil refining, cement and steel and proposes a new, sustainable energy plan for the Himalayan region and for the protection of glaciers. ECEC also has a very large international component and an innovative, US $ 60 Billion financing mechanism for its clean tech components, including green hydrogen. Financial innovation is a key distinguishing feature of this project.

Dear Colleagues,
Attached is the presentation of Part 1 of 6 of the Indian East Coast Energy Corridor project.
This is a project that changes a whole lot of things in India’s Energy Industry and its Decarbonization pathways.
Though the project looks large, it needs to be seen in the context of the Large Aircraft orders being placed out of India which is becoming the New centre of Global growth.
PROJECT COMPONENTS
Part 1 which is being shared now, is known as the East -West Swing Refining System.
It includes Conventional Oil & Gas components and certain De-carbonization components that will help seamlessly Transition India to a Net Zero economy by 2045, much earlier than the 2070 target committed at COP 26.
The remaining parts 2 – 6, that will follow shortly, will be designed to Execute on the following themes :
Part 2 : Green Hydrogen projects & Battery Giga Factories
Part 3 : Restoration of Himalayan habitats and Glaciers
Part 4 : Digital interventions in Mobility, Industrial de-carbonization and Net Zero.
Part 5 : International projects (1) Hadron Collider and (2) Collaborative Energy Projects in other Countries to feed into the East Coast Energy Corridor.
Part 6 : Financial innovation to create exciting Green Hydrogen (GH2) projects
DE-CARBONIZATION, SUSTAINABILITY & NET ZERO
The main problem that the East Coast Energy Corridor is trying to solve can best be summarized in the following question :
How do we raise the standard of living on 600 Million Indian citizens living at the subsistence level, to Middle Class status without Ruining the Environment ?
This is the problem I have tried to solve in Parts 2 – 6 of the East Coast Energy Corridor which will be shared sometime soon.
Part 1, is mainly about Conventional Energy as India’s Petroleum fuels infrastructure first needs to guarantee energy security (a functionality which it lacks today) while also laying the Foundation for a National Energy Transition at Scale.
Overall, the attached Deck constitutes a Strategic discussion note on National Energy Policy which can be expected to provide a few pointers for India’s Energy Industry well into the 2040 – 2050 decade, besides being a Lighthouse project for the rest of the world.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Ashish Puntambekar

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

Empowering the Unbanked: The Vital Role of NBFCs in Promoting Financial Inclu...Vighnesh Shashtri
In India, financial inclusion remains a critical challenge, with a significant portion of the population still unbanked. Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs) have emerged as key players in bridging this gap by providing financial services to those often overlooked by traditional banking institutions. This article delves into how NBFCs are fostering financial inclusion and empowering the unbanked.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.

Fundamental Insight
The author’s review of strategies adopted by Global Banks over the last 162 years suggests
that as a Country’s GDP expands by 2X - 3X , its Banks get a unique opportunity to grow
exponentially into the worlds largest financial institutions.
This has been demonstrated repeatedly, starting with the US, Europe, Japan and most recently
in China, where some smart banks, totally aligned themselves with their Govt’s GDP multiplication
targets to achieve massive expansion of their balance sheets within a relatively short period.

5. In May 2014, when the NDA Govt. assumed office, the Indian Financial Sector was in a shambles with over INR 14 Lakh crores in bad loans. Some
estimated the bad loans number to be as large as INR 19 Lakh crores.
The IL & FS crisis of 2018, created additional challenges that affected the NBFC sector which in turn resulted in serious liquidity problems in
Indian financial markets.
By Feb 2020, things had become better but then Covid 19 struck and the bad loan problem again became an issue. Bad loans as of March 2021 were
estimated at INR 8.35 Lakh crores.
By March 2021, India’s banks had written off INR 10.85 Lakh crores of bad loans. The loan recovery rate was at an abysmal 13 % and many banks
have still not set their houses in order.
Still, in December 2022, Banks in India are in much better shape than they have been in decades.
This presentation focuses on painting a future vision for the Indian Banking and Financial sector. To imagine this future, the author has studied the
Growth strategies deployed by Banks around the world for the last 162 years.
Therefore the strategies that are being proposed here, to achieve Exponential Growth of India’s Banking industry have worked repeatedly the US,
Europe, Japan and most recently in China.
As the presentation clearly demonstrates, Fintech will help to greatly reduce costs and massively increase coverage, but since Fintech also leads to
margin compression, due to increased competition, it may not increase the size of bank balance sheets very much. Instead, India’s largest Banks by
2032 will be those which align themselves with the NDA Govt.’s National GDP multiplication plan (US $ 7.5 Trillion economy by 2032). The
presentation also shares the precise innovation strategies that will help India’s banks to grow through Innovation Labs, strategic digital
partnerships (the MIT model), Lighthouse projects plus a Financing strategy & a Risk management plan all of which are totally aligned with the
Governments GDP Multiplication plan. We shall call this combination of aligned strategies to increase bank balance sheets as ”The Digital Hyperdrive “.

Pros and Cons of a Fintech Strategy :
Pros and Cons of a Fintech Strategy
A Fintech Strategy to expand financial Inclusion, therefore, by itself, cannot create chart breaking, balance sheet
growth, unless banks expand internationally on a large scale. So, what else can India’s banks do ?
Pros
Reduces operating costs and increases efficiencies on a large scale
Allows a Bank to reach and serve millions of new customers and achieve the very
important goal of Financial inclusion, across geographies
Allows a wide array of innovative business models
Cons
Increased competition results in wafer thin Margins for all players
Starts a race to the bottom on Margins
While financial inclusion is excellent for the country and for removing
poverty, it does not move the needle on increasing the size of Bank
balance sheets because the customers being added have little disposable income

Help the Bank set up a Creative Design Group
within the Bank to improve Asset Quality
Competencies to be developed within client
/ Bank to help client businesses :
Business model design
Incisive Analytics capability
Negotiation design capability
Creative contract re-design
Creative re-imagination of borrower businesses
Creation of Strategic Design group within the
Bank :
This Specialist group of strategic planners & Digital strategists
will brainstorm with Key people within Borrower organizations
Help re-imagine and re-wire borrower’s business across industry
value chains and help restore them to financial health
Innovation Lab Approach (Example 1) : Helping Banks improve Asset quality / Recover value from NPAs
Strategic design driven approach will help reduce Bank NPA’s by Re-imagining Borrowers Businesses.
These design sessions can also help maintain Asset quality at the bank 18

Deutsche has a management consulting team which
competes directly with top external consultancies to advise
the senior Management of the Bank.
Their Multi – industry expertise, also enables them to create
wealth for the Bank’s corporate clients with business models
that operate across industry value chains.
The innovation Lab on the other hand is a problem solving
group of Deutsche’s most creative people.
The bank has five innovation labs in the US, Europe and Asia,
that work with startups to identify, evaluate and enable the
adoption of emerging technologies in support of Deutsche
Bank’s overall digital strategy.

Innovation Lab Approach (Example 3) : Goldman Sachs – Innovation Lab (Brain Trust)
A Brain Trust Lookalike, will power the Digital Hyperdrive described later in this presentation
20
Goldman experienced a major shock when trading revenue
fell by 32%, or $18 billion in 2016-17.
To set things right, Goldman set up an Innovation Lab,
(unofficially called the Brain Trust) to focus on providing advice
and consulting to client companies.
The Innovation Lab makes use of their most unique asset,
highly-experienced and skilled personnel who are leaders in
global finance in almost every sector, including Climate
finance. The lab uses Digital strategies in the sense that
the business models they deploy operate across industry
value chains, to create unique Net Zero projects (for example).
The Brain Trust operates as a secretive group within Goldman
Sachs, to power the company’s turnaround.
The Lab works with clients like SoftBank Group and Berkshire
Hathaway among others to provide deal making and
consulting services.

Goldman expects its innovation
Lab to generate US $ 5 billion in
revenues annually through deal

US SEC Move on Carbon Emissions : A Global Re - pricing of Carbon may soon become a reality
Source : Tony Seba, Rethink X
For Banks, it is easier to plan abatement pathways for GHG protocol Scope 1 and
Scope 2 emissions. (GHG = Green House Gas)
Scope 3 emissions result from a bank’s loans and investments across sectors.
These however present wicked problems for Banks.
US SEC Federal Rule : In early 2022, The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
proposed a new federal rule requiring all publicly traded companies, including
Banks to disclose climate risks and carbon emissions resulting from their
operations.
This regulation would directly link financing to emissions in a way that’s never
been done before. The implications of this move by the US SEC may be global :
International Banks are likely to work towards reducing their carbon exposure,
which means new products and new terms to finance low carbon projects
around the world.
From now on, an asset’s carbon profile will become as relevant as its credit risk
to guide bank terms.
This may result in a Re-pricing of Interest rates for Dirty Vs Clean Industries,
with Brown premiums and Green discounts. This will amount to pricing Carbon
in a new way.
Credit May Get Cheaper for the following
Industries on a Global basis
A Global Re - pricing of Credit could have huge implications for Banks in India
as the Indian Economy expands to US $ 5 Trillion GDP.
42
43. Ashish Puntambekar, Strategic Planner
Why is it Imperative for India’s Banks to commit to a Net Zero Portfolio Target ?
Prime Minister Modi has committed India to the following five climate targets
at the COP 26 summit in Glasgow, in November 2021 :
India to get 50% of its energy from renewable resources by 2030
Reduce total projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030
Achieve 500 gigawatts (GW) of non-fossil electricity capacity by 2030
Reduce emissions intensity of GDP by 45% by 2030
Achieve a net zero emissions target for the entire economy - by 2070
India’s Banks have a critical strategic role to play by helping to Raise and
channelize $1 Trillion (INR 80 Lakh crores) in climate Finance from Global
and domestic markets into projects.
These targets cannot be achieved without India’s Banks doing the heavy
Lifting by deploying Financial innovation and other means. 43

India’s Banks & Climate Change – Current Position
Source : https://bfsi.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/banking/indias-big-banks-score-poorly-on-climate-challenge/90509360
According to the Think Tank “ Climate Risk Horizons “, India’s Banks have performed poorly on Climate Change :
1. Banks in general, are totally unprepared for the financial impacts of Climate change
2. Most of India’s banks have not even begun factoring in Climate change into their Business Strategies
3. None of the 34 banks surveyed, have a long term Net Zero target year, with an implementation plan
covering Scope 1, Scope 2 and most importantly Scope 3 emissions.
4. Only 2 banks (Yes Bank and HDFC Bank) have set definite targets for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, while State Bank
of India has only a long term target for a carbon neutral year.
5. Out of the 34 banks surveyed in India, 26 do not disclose even the most basic environmental indicators
6. As far as their lending goes, most banks have no clear plan to finance projects that mitigate Climate Change impacts
It needs to be understood that without the Participation of Financial Institutions, No National Net Zero target can be
achieved. India’s Banks therefore need to act fast, given that there is expected to be a 2.8 % annual hit on Indian GDP
by 2050 due to Climate change, according to the World Bank. 44

The Net Zero Banking Alliance – A United Nations Initiative to Align Banks to De – carbonization goals
The Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) is a Network of
Global Banks set up to Combat Climate Change :
The world’s 60 biggest banks — 13 of which are in
the U.S. — have provided $ 4.6 trillion in financing
to fossil fuel companies since the Paris climate deal
in 2015.
NBZA was set up based on the realization that the
Banking Industry is key to the Energy Transition and
without the banks, Climate change mitigation
& decarbonization cannot happen.
The NZBA currently consists of 108 Banks with
US $ 68 Trillion in assets under management.
No Indian Bank as yet, is a member of the NBZA.

How Can Banks build a Net Zero Portfolio of Assets to deliver on India’s COP 26 Commitments ?
Banks will need to change their business
models and priorities by :
Lending to climate change mitigation
projects that can achieve the largest
emission reductions.
Focus on projects that can increase
Financial inclusion and quality of life
without harming the environment.
Prioritize lending to sectors that can

India’s Banks – A Possible “ Climate Change ” Agenda
India’s Financial institutions could adopt the following strategies to combat Climate Change :
1. Lend to de-carbonization projects / technology companies in the following
areas that represent 90 % of Carbon emissions :
1. Energy 56.7 %
2. Transportation 16.2 %
3. Food * 18.0 %
TOTAL 90.90 %

2. Set up specialist “climate project investment divisions” that :
Lend capital to innovative Climate change mitigation projects
Invest Venture capital in innovative de-carbonization
& Energy transition technologies & initiatives
Strategizing investments in climate change
mitigation initiatives
Energy, Transport and Food are key sectors for Banks to Focus on, for India to achieve Net Zero by 2070 or earlier.
* This applies more in the context
of western meat eating societies
but is still very relevant to India.
3. Lend to Lighthouse Sustainability Projects of Corporates, with proper
financial risk mitigation measures in place **.
** See Parts V & VI of the presentation on Banking to the Indo – American Chambers of Commerce, by the author.

Set up a domestic Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA-India) and
partner with foreign banks who have successfully built Large Net Zero
portfolios.
Align the Banks strategy totally with National Growth goals and the
National Net Zero targets.
Set up the following specialized teams within your financial institution :
Climate Finance team
Deep Cleantech team
Business team – To design Industry 4.0 business models
Sensitize borrowers & clients to ESG Frameworks and help them to
develop specialized skills (1) Design of ESG improvement projects
(2) ESG frameworks & compliance. This consulting service could
generate additional revenue for the bank and reduce NPAs.
Actively working to build Net Zero Portfolio’s will be profitable for India’s Financial institutions and help
them access Capital Internationally at lower interest rates (Green Discounts) as CO2 gets Re-priced.

the size of the Indian economy by 2030.
Apart from Project 42, he has designed several Energy transition & Decarbonization projects across CO2 abatement (CO2-EOR), smart city – wind hybrids and smart city - green
hydrogen (GH2) hybrids.
Strategic National Projects
Ashish has conceptualized several strategic projects and has done the detailed business and financial planning for four projects which are either under execution or active
consideration by the Indian Government :
1. The National Infrastructure Pipeline (Now known as Gati Shakti)
2. The Defence Industrial Corridor (under Execution)
3. The East Coast Energy Corridor (under consideration)
4. The Vivekanand Secondary Education & Skills Development Megaproject (Proposed)
5. Digital Hyperdrive concept to vastly expand the size of Bank balance sheets to create Mega Financial institutions in India (Proposed)
GATI SHAKTI : Ashish conceptualized the Construct India Mission that received official sponsorship from the Ministry of Commerce in 2018. This was later named the National
Infrastructure pipeline. An innovative Financing plan to raise INR 87 Lakh crores (independent of Central or State budgets) for Gati Shakti projects has been presented to the
Ministry of Finance for consideration recently. This financing plan has the potential to create over 36 million new jobs in India by 2027.
Ashish Puntambekar has over 20 years of experience working with some of the finest talent globally in the Energy and Infrastructure sectors and specifically
