Primer: Aye FInance Ltd (1239156D IN) - Feb 2026 Aye Finance is a significant player in the underpenetrated Indian MSME lending market, demonstrating a strong growth trajectory in its loan book and revenue, driven by its 'phygital' model that combines a wide branch network with technology-driven underwriting and collection processes. The company's focus on small-ticket loans to micro-enterprises, a segment often overlooked by traditional banks, provides a large addressable market. However, this exposes Aye Finance to the inherent credit risks associated with borrowers who have limited credit history and are vulnerable to economic shocks.
