Investments by Mumbai-headquartered L&T Finance Ltd (LTF) in technology, talent, revamp and expansion of branch infrastructure and brand building have started to yield early dividends for India’s leading Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), Managing Director and CEO Sudipta Roy said on 22 Oct.
Roy said the group continues to focus on customer centricity as a part of 5-pillar execution strategy for growth, adding, “Our focus remained firmly on execution and growth, enabling us to deliver a strong performance in a quarter traditionally considered a weak one in the BFSI industry.
“The performance highlights the improved momentum in all our lines of business, across rural and urban geographies, driven by the transformation initiatives carried over the last few quarters.”
