“Different frauds have different intent," Manian says. "Fraud is not limited to getting a financial gain. It is larger than that. It can be data capturing of your competition, technology know-how, etc. The fraud scope has become very large.”

Athalye adds: “In terms of technological development, the industry has advanced a lot. Video conferencing tools, credit bureaus, though of recent origin in India, give a lot of information about customers. By the use of ML there is a good amount of predictability of customer behavior."

In this video discussion, the two experts address:

  • The unique problem of retail load fraud in India;
  • Tools to be leveraged for retail loan fraud;
  • Why digitization of fraud unit is important.

Manian is head, credit, risk and policy at Adani Capital. He has more than 21 years experience in retail and wholesale credit risk management, enterprise risk management and fraud risk management. Prior to Adani, he was the chief risk and compliance at Motilal Oswal Home Finance.
