Every lender hires the same fresher and pays the same hidden tax.
Months of induction, shadowing and supervised error before a new joiner carries an independent file load. A cost that never appears as a line item — paid every year, on every entry-level seat, by every lender in the country.
Join the industry councilA graduate who arrives able to read a statement, a bureau file and a GST return is worth more to a lender than a fee saved. That is what funds the confirmed offer, the stipend and the practitioner faculty — not a college's budget.
Own a module. Host the work. Hire the output.
A named company and a named practitioner carry each module and its simulation — whoever writes it also teaches and grades it. Two sessions a year against a named module, on the academic calendar.
Assigned teams, named supervising mentors, real worked files and supervised customer exposure — with conduct, disclosure and DPDP training signed off before a student speaks to a borrower.
The Curriculum Council of member companies owns the syllabus and the assessment bar, and publishes it to students on day one. You assess against a standard you helped write.
500 hours of observed work on real material, under your own mentors and in your own systems — instead of a forty-minute interview.
Credit files read end to end, graded mocks across credit, PD, disbursement and collections, a capstone defended, and a practitioner attestation against the council's standard.
Sales and customer handling takes 40–50% of training time — mock pitches, build-your-own-pitch assignments and live-style simulations — so the hire can hold a borrower conversation from week one.
As members join, the standard sits in a Section 8 not-for-profit vehicle — industry-governed, with no single member, including FinAGG, able to bend the syllabus to its own hiring.
A Regulatory Faculty Council of former RBI, SEBI, IRDAI and policy officials owns academic and regulatory credibility and reviews teaching material every year.
A student on a live call is regulated outreach, not a trainee exercise.
This is the single most important structural point in the model, and it is why conduct training sits in Week 1 rather than Week 9. Any member hosting the work half signs up to the same discipline.
- Conduct, KFS, APR disclosure and DPDP training completed before any borrower contact
- Each student identifies themselves and the entity they represent, every time
- No student commits a limit, a rate or an approval. Ever — automatic removal from customer contact
- Calls recorded, consented and reviewed weekly as coaching, not audit
- Graded on the quality of the conversation and the reasoning, never on volume of activity
Take a module, host a few students, and see what walks out.
The first conversation is short: which module your team would own, how many students you could host in the first cohort, and what your own ramp cost per entry-level hire actually looks like today.
