Inverting the Pyramid- Edition III

Inverting the Pyramid is an annual publication by Intellecap on the microfinance sector in India. Intellecap has recently released the report’s third edition titled Indian Microfinance- Coming of Age.

Why is microfinance in India interesting? Its proven track record for demonstrating high growth, high efficiency and profitability and excellent credit quality makes microfinance a sunrise industry for entrepreneurs and professionals as well as an attractive and stable asset class for financial investors. With annual growth rates of over 80 percent and a miniscule market penetration of less than 10 percent, the Indian market is constantly witnessing the entry of many more actors seeking business and investment opportunities with ambitions and business plans that surpass historical benchmarks.

The report attempts to answer questions such as Is there a bubble growing in Indian microfinance? Are the social aims of microfinance losing out to commercial interests? Are Indian MFI valuations too high? It also attempts to debunk myths currently surrounding the sector with thorough, on-the-ground research and analysis. A detailed analysis of the sector’s trends, demand and supply statistics, and financial performance using a ‘new classification’ unveils interesting insights on the future of microfinance in India.

Inside Inverting the Pyramid-III:

  1. Consolidated growth and financial performance data from 29 MFIs in India comprising 85% of the market
