Utkarsh, since its inception, has largely focused on lending towards microfinance customers. However, post SFB conversion in FY17, it has strategically focused and realigned its portfolio towards secured products namely micro, small and medium enterprise, micro-loan against property, housing and commercial vehicle/construction equipment loans to leverage distribution.
