Submit a talk on data

The lending space is rapidly growing in the fintech arena in India. The challenge faced by this sector is operational scaling of the business to an unprecedented level without adding large amount of manpower. In order to meet this challenge, the traditional process must be replaced in part or whole by digital data sources, one of which is SMS. The solution designed is able to analyse SMS data and find out critical data points which can provide key business insight. The rule-based system designed is highly flexible in being adapted to variations in the data and currently performs at approximately 85% accuracy. The solution is currently in operation as part of ZipLoan’s underwriting process. The talk covers the entire journey from developing an understanding of the problem to the eventual solution currently in production and ongoing work towards future improvement. Business understanding is blended along with necessary technical details in expounding the final shape of the solution.
