A governed, explainable probability-of-default engine that reads 5,000+ variables from bureau and alternative data — and models thin-file and thick-file borrowers differently, because they carry risk differently.
Whether a borrower is thick-file or thin, a bureau-only score sees a fraction of the story — and the parts it misses are where good customers and hidden risk both hide.
New-to-credit and thin-file applicants have little bureau history — so good borrowers get declined for missing data, not real risk.
Even for well-documented borrowers, a bureau score alone plateaus — it can't see current behaviour, stress, or intent.
New, repeat, prime, sub-prime — scored by a single static model that decays quietly until losses appear.
Enterprise PD Score blends bureau data with consent-based behavioural signals, models each segment on its own terms, and stays explainable end to end. Not a scorecard — a living credit-risk system.
Bureau plus device, SMS, telecom, watchlist and cash-flow signals — for every file, thick or thin.
Real-time scoring built for straight-through approval at onboarding.
Monitored for drift and recalibrated, so performance holds in production.
A defensible reason behind every decision — ready for audit and adverse-action.
The bureau is the starting point, not the whole picture. We layer consent-based signals that reveal how a borrower actually behaves — the data that predicts repayment when history alone can't.
Income stability, cash-flow health, distress signals and repayment discipline — drawn from 5,000+ variables across bureau and alternative data. For thin files it builds a picture the bureau lacks; for thick files it adds the live behaviour a static score can't see.
New-to-credit, repeat, dormant, top-up — each cohort gets its own PD model, because each defaults for different reasons. Prime-to-sub-prime tiers fall out of the score; they're never a crude input.
Device intelligence and curated watchlist screening — sanctions, PEP, defaulter lists — run before scoring. They catch fraud and ineligible applicants a PD model was never designed to find, matched on PAN + DOB, not name alone.
We don't bet on a single technique. Enterprise PD Score benchmarks a full suite of machine-learning algorithms on your portfolio, then deploys the one that performs best for your book — under a champion–challenger framework that keeps improving it.
Every candidate algorithm is trained and scored on your data, on identical footing.
The strongest performer on your metrics — Gini, KS, calibration — becomes the live model.
New models run in the background and take over only when they beat the champion.
Every model stays explainable — reason codes and transparent logic behind each decision, whichever algorithm wins.
Every Enterprise PD Score deployment is validated on your own book against the four benchmarks below, then monitored for population stability once it goes live.
A single scorecard treats a first-time borrower, a loyal repeat customer, and a dormant one as if they were the same person. They aren't — each defaults for different reasons and shows different signals. Enterprise PD Score builds a dedicated probability-of-default model for every population you can identify at the point of application, so each borrower is scored against the people who actually resemble them — not a one-size-fits-all average.
Little or no bureau history. Scored on consent-based behavioural and cash-flow signals that reveal repayment ability the bureau can't see.
Drivers · alternative data, income stabilityRich bureau history, but a static score plateaus. We add live behavioural signals to sharpen risk ranking beyond what history alone captures.
Drivers · bureau depth + behaviourBorrowed and repaid with you before. Their own repayment track record — often your most predictive signal — drives a sharper, lower-friction score.
Drivers · internal repayment historyA past borrower returning after a long gap. Re-underwritten on current behaviour, because circumstances change while a relationship sits idle.
Drivers · recent activity, fresh signalsAn existing borrower repaying well and ready for more credit. Behavioural repayment patterns identify who to grow — and who to hold.
Drivers · on-book repayment behaviourScreened before scoring. Device intelligence and watchlist checks stop synthetic identities, stacking and sanctioned applicants at the gate.
Drivers · device, watchlist, PAN + DOBPrime, near-prime and sub-prime aren't inputs — they're outputs. Risk tiers fall out of the cohort models rather than being assigned up front, so a borrower is never pre-labelled before the score has actually looked at them.
Every alternative-data signal is permissioned, aligned with RBI digital-lending guidelines and the DPDP Act.
Reason codes and transparent logic for every decision — ready for audit and adverse-action requirements.
Versioned, documented and monitored — so your model-risk team and your regulator stay comfortable.
A probability of default model estimates how likely a borrower is to default on a loan over a given period. Enterprise PD Score produces this probability using machine learning across 5,000+ variables from bureau and alternative data — giving lenders an explainable, real-time measure of credit risk for every application.
Alternative data — SMS, device, telecom, cash-flow and watchlist signals — reveals repayment behaviour the credit bureau can't see. For thin-file and new-to-credit applicants it builds a risk picture where bureau history is missing; for thick-file borrowers it adds live behaviour a static score can't capture.
Yes. It's built for banks, NBFCs, credit unions, microfinance institutions and digital lenders, with real-time API decisioning for straight-through loan approval — and it's aligned with RBI digital-lending guidelines and the DPDP Act.
Every decision comes with reason codes and transparent logic, ready for model governance, audit and adverse-action requirements. Alternative-data signals are consent-based and aligned with RBI digital-lending guidelines and the DPDP Act.
A bureau score relies on credit history alone. Enterprise PD Score combines bureau data with alternative and behavioural signals, builds a dedicated model per borrower cohort, and selects the best-performing machine-learning algorithm through a champion–challenger framework — so it ranks risk more sharply, especially for borrowers the bureau can't see.
Start with a low-risk POC: we prove the lift on your bureau data first, then show the incremental gain as we layer in the alternative signals — results at every stage before you commit to the next.
An interesting insight on vehicle loans for lenders.
A trend we are seeing today – the first-hand vehicle ownership is decreasing with time. Why? People are upgrading their vehicles in every few years because of technological advances. And, this can be seen more with the millennial generation.
So, what should a lender do in terms of financing?
– Estimating the residual value of the vehicle at the start of the financing period.
– Charging a borrower only for the residual value (which is the difference between the value after a few years and the current value)
Example: A bike currently is INR 1 lakh. You want to buy the vehicle for 2 years. A lender will estimate the residual value of that bike today and what it would be after 2 years. If the estimated residual value = INR 45,000, the lender will charge you only that (say, INR 55,000 with interest for this instance) during your tenure.
At the end of 2-year period, you have 3 choices:
1. Return the bike and upgrade to a new one without going through the struggle of selling it.
2. Pay the lump sum remaining amount to own the vehicle outright.
3. Extend the financing and own it by keep paying the EMIs for the remaining amount of the vehicle for the next 12 or 18 months.
Benefits for the borrowers?
– Flexibility to use a vehicle and upgrade to a new one.
– Affordability to not pay for the complete value of the vehicle with the intention to use for a lesser amount of time.
– Convenience in owning the vehicle.
Say goodbye to the old lending option and embrace the new way of financing for vehicle by lenders!
How many of us know this?
1) Tiktok does Lending ( is it an entertainment company or social media company or a fintech company?
2) Youtube China does Lending
3) Top 100 internet companies in China(no matter what business they are in) do Lending
The team which was heading Lending in Tiktok was the Advertisement team. If we do Ads, we do X no of revenue. But if we do lending, we’ll get X+30% more revenue. This is on the same Ad spot.
Ad team has transformed into a lending team, and in today’s world, it’s possible because the subject matter expertise can be put in as an API and given to you.
Embedded Lending as a service is becoming popular in India too, and I am happy to be part of this ecosystem.
The answer is No. Only the top 10 crore people have access to many credit products in India. Almost all Banks focus on this market.
Once you go beyond that, the credit access rate has dropped significantly due to multiple factors.
1) Customers who are having low income(30-40K per month)
2) Not earning from an employer who belongs to Category A or B
3) Not from Tier 1 or 2 cities
NBFCs and Fintechs focus on the above segment, pushing another 10 crores of people.
But in India, 70 crores more people are formally or informally employed, which still needs to be tapped.

After smartphone penetration, people are not watching their SMS at all. They use SMS only for OTP related transactions. That’s it.
But What can a Lender see in your SMS after you consent to them?
Lender can see income, expenses, and any other Fixed Obligation like (EMIs/Credit Card).
1) Income – Parameters like Average Salary Credited, Stable Monthly inflows like Rent
2) Expenses – Average monthly debit card transactions, UPI Transactions, Monthly ATM Withdrawal Amount etc
3) Fixed Obligations – Loan payments have been made for the past few months, Credit card transactions.
It also tells the Lender the adverse incidents like
1) Missed Loan payments
2) Cheque bounces
3) Missed Bill Payments like EB, LPG gas bills.
4) POS transaction declines due to insufficient funds.
A massive chunk of data is available in our SMS (more than 700 data points), which helps Lender to make a credit decision.
