"We are doing a lot of things on YONO apart from banking. Lots of innovation is also happening, like we already have pre-approved loan on YONO which does not require a customer to visit a branch. So, we thought in the festival season it is a good idea to come up with a digital shopping offer to our customers with additional discount benefits," Gupta said.
