Shyam Maheshwari SSG describes the Indian credit market and how it is dominated by private lenders. The Indian credit market has been dominated by banks and non-bank financial companies for a long period. It started with the primary dominance of PSU banks then the private sector banks came along.   Still, the credit to GDP ratio is relatively modest and low for the stage of growth of the country.   As the economy develops credit intensity would probably increase initially and the need for credit is very much out there. The challenges the banks and non-banks as you have rightly pointed out may not be able to fulfil that requirement and that’s where the private credit demand is extremely apparent and necessary for the growth, says Shyam Maheshwari. Shyam Maheshwari thinks that taking what he said on the flexibility, also emanates from the regulated players which have been dominating the market for a long time whether it is a bank or a non-bank. One is regulated second is lev...

He has 17 years of experience in the deal sourcing, analysis and investing industry.   Shyam Maheshwari is Associate Member at The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India and on the board of 5 other companies. Shyam Maheshwari   details the role of private credit as the key factor in the fastest growing alternative asset class in the world, as it has been for the last 4 to 5 years. In the 2009 global financial crisis, lots of debt capital has been flowing through asset managers rather than banks. Today over a trillion dollars in size, bank lending is shrinking on account of all the increased regulations. The ability of independent asset managers to up this share advocated by banks is the global trend, he says. Shyam Maheshwari was the former Chief Executive Officer, Founder and Partner of SSG C...

  Entrepreneurship is full of blood, sweat and tears – to create something of value or to fail in the attempt to create, says Shyam Maheshwari , Co-founder, SSG Capital. He has been a long-term India fan on the credit and special situation side. He feels that India is perhaps the only emerging market in Asia that has opened the doors to foreigners to participate in the local currency debt and NPA markets. Under the current government, the reforms on IBC have been pathbreaking.  Therefore, all the ingredients of regulations, transparency, market access and the need for foreign capital are there.  While the NPA pool has declined over the past few years with resolutions and recoveries, the demand for credit and resolution capital far outstrips the supply.  According to Shyam Maheshwari , from days in early 2000 when very few foreign funds participated in India, now have all the foreign players represented in India. The opportunities have become more appealing due to p...
