  • RBI will Implement AI-Powered Real-Time Technologies to Detect Cybercrime

    As per the recent media reports, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) is developing an AI-enabled system that will alert people in real time about financial scams.

    An AI-based warning system would identify suspicious transactions as they are going to be made, and individual banks will access a central bank data repository that has information on different kinds of frauds and their offenders. In order to lower the danger of cyber fraud, the system will employ AI to gather and evaluate data on possible frauds, identify high-risk platforms, and alert users during transactions. 

    Even while cybercrime is still under control, the RBI believes that taking a proactive stance is essential to tackling new issues in the online financial sector. Indeed, MuleHunter AI, an artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) model, has already been created by the Reserve Bank of India Innovation Hub (RBIH), a division of the RBI, to assist banks and other financial institutions in identifying so-called mule accounts that fraudsters utilise. In contrast, the new system will protect digital transactions and notify users.

    RBI Shaping the Cybercrime Fee Banking Services

    To identify and stop cyber fraud, the RBI has been developing an AI-enabled fraud information system for some time. Implementing AI that can learn from previous frauds to flag high-risk transactions is one of the proposals made by an expert panel on cyber frauds that the RBI established.

    The method seeks to increase banks’ and payment gateways’ readiness to identify possible fraud while making it more difficult to cash out illicit funds. The frequency and average magnitude of cyber frauds are increasing, despite the fact that current fraud rates are still modest at about one every 114,000 transactions. All of them, then, are a component of the strategies to raise public awareness in order to help stop victimisation.

    In 2015, the central bank formed the Cyber Security and IT Examination (CSITE) cell under its Department of Banking Supervision, in addition to establishing several groups to combat cyber fraud. Additionally, it established a Fraud Monitoring Cell that publishes a list of bank and financial institution officials who are in charge of reporting fraud.

    Making Guidelines More Stringent

    Using information from the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre, a government agency tasked with combating cyber fraud, the central bank has also revised instructions for banks. The 2024 Deloitte-NASCIO Cybersecurity Study states that as the digital landscape grows and more personal, health, and financial data is available online, along with critical infrastructure like power, water, and transportation systems integrated with online components, cybersecurity is becoming a top priority for governments, regulators, and corporations. This increases vulnerabilities.

    According to the research, which was published on September 30, governments and regulators are realising more and more how important strong information security is to the dependable running of important government services.The area of attack is expanding. Both the Internet of Things and the Internet itself are generating more information. The public’s financial, health, and other personal information is stored on more servers in more locations than ever before. According to the report, online operational components are connected with more important infrastructure.

    It further stated that state officials are realising that information security is fundamental to the effective operation of vital government services and that all of this leads to an increase in the number of sites of risk.

    Online Fraud Cases are Growing

    The number of banking frauds rose by almost 300% in FY24 compared to the previous two years, according to the RBI’s May annual report. According to the data, public sector banks reported 75% of the total fraud amount in FY24, while private sector banks recorded 67% of the fraud incidents. According to the RBI statistics, the total number of online fraud cases rose by 708% to 29,082 in FY 23 and FY 24.

  • South Korea’s IMM Investment Has Secured an Anchor Investor for its Inaugural India Fund

    The massive South Korean gaming company Krafton hopes to increase its presence in India by assisting domestic investors in taking advantage of the country’s developing startup scene. The first of these investors is IMM Investment, a multi-asset investment company established in South Korea that manages assets under management (AUM) of around $7 billion in three segments: infrastructure, growth equity, and venture capital. In addition to Korean unicorn businesses Woowa Bros, Bucketplace, Musinsa, and Krafton itself, which is listed on the Korea Exchange, its portfolio also includes NYSE-listed Coupang.

    Krafton and IMM Investment’s Partnership

    IMM Investment and Krafton’s India division announced on October 29 that Krafton would be the anchor investor in IMM’s first India fund. However, the business didn’t reveal any particulars.

    An exciting new chapter in the company’s efforts to support India’s startup ecosystem has begun with Krafton India’s collaboration with IMM. According to Sean Hyunil Sohn, CEO of Krafton India, the company hopes to assist entrepreneurs in vital industries in growing and succeeding by bringing more South Korean capital, knowledge, and international viewpoints to the Indian market. This would ultimately improve India’s standing on the international scene.

    Additionally, he noted that this partnership supports the government’s Invest India drive, improves investor connections between South Korea and India, and speeds up the expansion of Indian businesses.

    Investment Plans

    The IMM India Fund will support entrepreneurs in industries like DeepTech, Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Fintech, Gaming and Media, and Consumer Brands. Its primary focus will be on growth-stage businesses that exhibit significant IPO potential and stand to gain from connections to South Korean money and experience.

    It has made its initial investment in Sugar Cosmetics, a beauty and personal care brand based in Mumbai that was established in 2015 by Vineeta Singh (Shark Tank India fame) and her spouse Kaushik Mukherjee.

    IMM Investment’s current India investment lead, Prakhar Khanduja, disclosed that the fund had made a secondary investment of $3 million in Sugar Cosmetics. According to Khanduja, the fund closed for the first time in December of last year and would incorporate funds from the parent fund as well as several other limited partners (LPs). He did not, however, provide precise information about the fund’s size. By the end of the year, the fund intends to close another investment, he added.

    “For the upcoming year, secondary investments will be our primary focus. The secondary market contains some excellent assets. We’ll go primary as well if there’s a primary (investment opportunity) available,” Khanduja stated. According to Khanduja, the IMM India Fund would only support entrepreneurs and business plans that are either profitable, at least operationally, or approaching profitability.

    If a business is successful or on the verge of becoming so, the public market will at least experience some kind of liquidity event within the next three years. “Every time we enter a new market, we have focused on it, and we will continue to do so in India,” he said.

  • RBI’s Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) Licence Secured by Cashfree Payments

    The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has granted Cashfree Payments, a prominent player in the payments and API banking industry in India, a Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) licence.

    The RBI has granted Cashfree Payments the Payment Aggregator (PA), Payment Aggregator-Cross Border (PA-CB), and Prepaid Payment Instrument (PPI) licenses, making it one of the first fintechs to attain these licenses. With the use of this licence, the firm will be able to offer improved digital payment options via prepaid instruments, making transactions between companies and their clients easier.

    A new avenue for innovation in the payments industry is made possible by the PPI licence. The company’s goal has always been to give Indian businesses and its clients safe, adaptable, and effective payment experiences. According to Cashfree Payments CEO and cofounder Akash Sinha, the PPI license will assist Cashfree Payments in developing products that enable online companies to maintain and expand their customer base.

    Cashfree Payments Expanding its Operations

    In July, the business acquired a cross-border payment aggregator licence, allowing import and export transactions. It happened after the RBI gave it a payment aggregator licence in December 2023, enabling it to function in the online merchant payment market.

     Cashfree Payments, which was founded in 2015 by Sinha and Reeju Datta, collects payments, pays vendors, disburses wages, reimburses expenses in bulk, and offers loyalty benefits to about 600,000 enterprises in India. The company handles transactions totalling approximately $80 billion yearly. Supported by investors including State Bank of India, Y Combinator, and Apis Partners, the business has also introduced products in eight additional nations, including the US, Canada, and the United Arab Emirates.

    The National Payments Corporation of India certified Cashfree Payments earlier this month for its Unified Payments Interface Switch service, which enables it to interface directly with any bank’s core systems to provide its merchants with greater transaction success rates.

    ‘Piramal Pay’ Likewise Also Received RBI’s Nod

    The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has also granted permission to Piramal Payment Services Limited, a division of Piramal Capital & Housing Finance Ltd, to launch and run its “Piramal Pay” prepaid payment instrument (PPI) service.

    The company emphasised that this authorisation, which was given in accordance with the Payment and Settlement Systems Act of 2007, is a major step towards providing millions of users throughout India with cutting-edge digital financial products. With this latest accreditation, Piramal Payment Services becomes one of the few RBI-approved Payment System Operators all geared up to improve the nation’s digital transaction environment.

    The company further stated that “Piramal Pay” is intended to make financial transactions easy, safe, and convenient for both consumers and companies.

  • According to AICPDF, a Rapid Surge in Quick Commerce Resulted in the Closure of 2 Lakh Kirana Stores

    The All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF) reports that over 2 lakh local “kirana” (general) stores have closed in the last 12 months as customers increasingly use fast delivery services like Blinkit and Zepto. According to various reports, the AICPDF blames these closures on the fast commerce industry’s explosive growth and the economic downturn. It plans to present the findings to the Ministry of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Finance in the coming days in order to request their action.

    The largest organisation in India, the AICPDF represents 4 lakh distributors of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) for well-known corporations like Nestle India Ltd., Dabur India Ltd., and Hindustan Unilever Ltd.

    Major Metro Cities Witness the Worst Impact on Businesses

    Kirana shops in urban areas have been the most impacted, according to the industry group. Metro areas were home to about 45% of the 2 lakh shuttered kirana shops. 30% were Tier 1 cities, while 25% were Tier 2/3 cities.

    According to Dhairyashil Patil, national president of the AICPDF, kirana shops, which have traditionally prospered through competition, including the rise of supermarkets, now face an existential risk as a result of the rise of rapid commerce and the economic slump. He claimed that in order to attract clients, quick commerce companies are using deceptive pricing, which involves offering steep discounts and selling below cost. This has led to an unequal playing field, which is hurting the clientele and financial success of kirana shops.

    Methods Used by Quick Commerce Platforms That Are Anti-Competitive

    The AICPDF requested last week that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) take action against Blinkit and Zepto, two rapid commerce platforms, for engaging in anti-competitive behaviour. They claimed that these platforms participated in unlawful pricing and monopolistic practices, as well as running underground shopfronts to get around inventory rules. Additionally, AICPDF alerted the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways about the use of possibly uninsured private vehicles for delivery by fast commerce enterprises. Furthermore, they expressed their worries to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare that these activities compromised food safety by breaking the rules set forth by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

    Online Retailers Already Under Competition Commission’s Scanner

    These developments coincide with the Competition Commission of India’s ongoing investigation into online retailers for alleged unfair activities, including predatory pricing. According to an internal study by the CCI, e-commerce giants Flipkart and Amazon India broke antitrust laws by favouring some sellers on their platforms. In a similar vein, the AICPDF requested that the antitrust body look into three rapid commerce companies for suspected unfair pricing: Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and Blinkit from Zomato. The federation contended in its letter that many consumer goods companies abandon traditional stores in favour of direct ties with these businesses, weakening delivery standards that have been in place for decades. Quick delivery platforms’ “unchecked” growth is making it “impossible for traditional retailers to compete or survive,” the company told CCI.

    The government will “give a serious thought” to protecting the interests of traders hurt by rapid commerce and e-commerce companies’ exploitative pricing strategies, according to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman’s statement on September 17. Similar worries regarding the e-commerce industry were also voiced by Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal, who emphasised the necessity for these platforms to “operate fairly” within the nation.

  • RBI Permits Home Loan Disbursements That Were Approved Before October 20: Navi Finserv

    Navi Finserv, owned by Sachin Bansal, announced on 29 October 2024 that the Reserve Bank has permitted the company to make scheduled home loan disbursals that were approved before October 20. Navi Finserv had previously been prohibited from offering new loans.

    Due to significant supervisory concerns, including unlawful pricing, the RBI had earlier this month ordered Navi Finserv to stop and refrain from approving and disbursing loans as of October 21 close of business.

    Navi Finserv has been given permission by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to begin disbursing scheduled housing loans that were approved prior to October 20, 2024. According to the Bengaluru-based company’s press release, the authorisation is valid until December 31, 2024.

    Relief to Home Buyers

    Many homebuyers whose loans were approved before the RBI’s regulatory action and who are still awaiting their previously planned disbursements would find significant relief from the RBI’s approval.

    In addition to Navi, the central bank had imposed the same limitations on three other NBFCs: Chennai-based Asirvad Micro Finance Limited, Kolkata-based Arohan Financial Services Limited, and New Delhi-based DMI Finance Private Limited.

    Why RBI Imposed Restrictions on these NBFCs?

    With effect from October 21st, the central bank said the action is based on significant supervisory concerns about these companies’ pricing policies, specifically their Weighted Average Lending Rate (WALR) and the interest spread charged over their cost of funds, which were determined to be excessive.

    The Master Direction (MD) pertaining to the regulatory framework for microfinance loans and the MD relating to NBFC-scale based regulation also state that their pricing approach does not comply with the rules. According to an RBI statement, the pricing policy was also determined to be noncompliant with the guidelines established by the Reserve Bank’s Fair Practices Code. 

    These businesses are still able to provide services to their current clients and conduct collection and recovery procedures in compliance with current regulations, notwithstanding these business restrictions. DMI Finance Pvt Ltd and Navi Finserv Ltd are categorised as investment & credit firms within the NBFC sector, whereas Asirvad Micro Finance Ltd and Arohan Financial Services Ltd are categorised as mirofinance institutions.

    In his most recent bi-monthly monetary policy statement, RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das pointed out that certain NBFCs were pursuing growth at a rapid pace without establishing risk management frameworks and sustainable business practices that were appropriate for the size and complexity of their portfolios.

    He warned that a reckless “growth at any cost” strategy would be detrimental to their own well-being. Das also pointed out that some NBFCs, such as microfinance institutions (MFIs) and housing finance companies (HFCs), are pursuing excessive returns on their equity due to the substantial accretion of capital from both domestic and foreign sources, as well as occasionally pressure from their investors.

    This article has been contributed by Manasvita Subramanian, Chief of Digital Marketing at Spicetree Design Agency. 

    With the Diwali season sparking consumer excitement, it’s an ideal time for direct-to-consumer (D2C) brands to ramp up social media efforts. Many brands have achieved impressive results by connecting emotionally with their audience, launching festive products, and using targeted ads and influencer collaborations. Here are successful strategies brands have already used for Diwali promotions, demonstrating how to create impact in a crowded digital landscape.

    1. Highlight Cultural Relevance with an Engaging Festive Story

    D2C brands like Cadbury and Amazon have mastered the art of using Diwali’s cultural significance in their social media storytelling. This approach strengthens brand appeal and forms an emotional bond with customers. For example, Cadbury’s “Not Just a Cadbury Ad” campaign took an innovative approach by creating hyper-localized ads that encouraged viewers to buy from local stores for Diwali. Through social media, they rolled out city-specific ads featuring local vendors, adding a strong community-focused message.

    Why it Worked:

    Cadbury tapped into the cultural sentiment of supporting local businesses during Diwali, aligning perfectly with the festive spirit and gaining immense traction on social platforms.

    2. Create Limited-Edition Festive Products and Attractive Bundles

    Nykaa’s Diwali Dhamaka Sale offers up to 50% off on top beauty brands, with special Diwali bundles and gift sets in festive packaging. “Buy-more-save-more” deals incentivized larger purchases, making it easy for customers to buy multiple products at discounted rates.

    Why It Worked:

    This approach tapped into Diwali’s gifting spirit with attractive, ready-made gift options that offered value and convenience. The festive packaging and exclusive bundles increased appeal, encouraging bigger purchases and boosting Nykaa’s sales during the high-demand season.

    3. Emotional Storytelling

    Zomato‘s Diwali campaign, “Rishton Se Hai Diwali, Har Din,” successfully navigated the crowded digital landscape by focusing on emotional storytelling and cultural relevance. The campaign’s heartwarming video resonated deeply with audiences, showcasing the unifying power of food during the festive season. This approach not only increased brand engagement but also strengthened Zomato’s connection with its customers.

    Why it Worked:

    The collaboration effectively captured the warmth of the holiday, allowing the brand to connect emotionally with its audience. By aligning with an influencer whose values resonate with its target market, Haldiram reinforced its position as a key part of festive gatherings

    5. Enhance Engagement with Festive AR Filters

    OnePlus launched a festive campaign centered around Diwali, titled #OneCelebration, where they collaborated with Snapchat to develop an AR portal lens designed to connect individuals, especially those unable to celebrate Diwali in person. Through this innovative feature, users could immerse themselves in the festive spirit with the AR portal lens, adding virtual decorations, sparkling lights, and a touch of warmth to their surroundings.

    Why It Worked:

    The campaign resonated deeply with users by addressing the emotional aspects of celebrating Diwali apart from family and friends. The AR portal lens offered a unique and innovative way for people to connect and celebrate Diwali, this resonated with the festival’s core values of family and community. The campaign also aligned perfectly with OnePlus’ brand ethos of innovation and youth appeal. By leveraging cutting-edge technology to create a festive experience, OnePlus demonstrated its commitment to staying ahead of the curve.

    By blending cultural relevance, interactive campaigns, influencer partnerships, and AI, D2C brands can build strong connections with their audience during Diwali. The examples above show how well-crafted campaigns on social media can enhance a brand’s visibility, boost engagement, and drive sales. Brands that leverage Diwali’s festive energy with creative, consumer-centric strategies are more likely to see tangible results, building both brand loyalty and festive cheer in the process.
