Upon receiving the awards, Mr. Joby C O, CEO, Dvara KGFS, Chennai, said, “Dvara KGFS is a pioneer in providing micro finance and SME finance in the remote rural areas of the country. We reach out to more than a million women and many micro enterprises in remote rural India for accessing credit and other wealth management products. We follow a wealth management approach in our customer engagement. We believe that apart from loans, the rural households need a trusted financial advisor. To achieve this, we follow a Plan, Grow, Protect & Diversify model through which they can achieve their life goals. We have faced many challenges during the pandemic as it made our socially active business follow covid protocols such as social distancing. The pandemic paved the way for a digital transformation where we launched e-signatures and shifted  from cash collection to digital collection. Our team has equipped themselves and our customers have successfully adapted to the technology.”
