About this Book:
Interspersed with inspiring successes and healthy debates, the Indian microfinance space continues to redefine itself, innovate in products and delivery channels, and join forces with the most sophisticated capital market actors to create financial access to the many un-banked poor. This publication is an attempt to capture the evolution of Indian microfinance, gauge its performance thus far, and map its future potential.
Inverting the Microfinance Pyramid: The Changing Face of Indian Microfinance analyses the market dynamics of Indian microfinance including demand and supply side factors, key players, and the past performance and future potential of microfinance providers. It is expected to assist investors, entrepreneurs, donors, policy makers, and academics in making informed decisions on their involvement in the Indian microfinance industry.

Inside the Book:
Chapter One, Redefining Micro: The Emerging Pattern, focuses on the key trends in the microfinance industry, changing definitions of what is understood as “microfinance markets,” ongoing changes in institutional structures, profiles, and the motivations of key actors and their operational strategies.
 
Chapter Two, Gauging the Depths: Market Demand for Indian Microfinance, delves into poverty statistics, banking, and entrepreneurship to shed light on the potential overall market size for microfinance in India. Chapter Three, A Drop in the Ocean: The Supply Side Story, examines the ongoing initiatives providing microfinance services across geographies and client segments. Chapter Four, Indian MFIs: On the Sustainability Path, examines MFIs, a key set of microfinance providers who have shown aggressive growth, financial performance, and movement towards sustainability. Primary data was collected from a set of 60 MFIs who participated in an Intellecap survey. Chapter Five, Indian Microfinance: Through the Investment Lens, paints a picture of what the Indian microfinance industry may look like in 2012 and identifies the key drivers that will define its future growth.
