YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Balancing Credit Growth With Asset-Quality Discipline
- Scheduled commercial banks’ gross NPA ratio fell to 2.5% in March 2024, yet rapid retail and unsecured lending growth raises fresh portfolio-risk concerns.
- YCP helps lenders refine credit strategy, early-warning systems and collections models, enabling growth plans that remain aligned with risk appetite.
Containing Digital Fraud as Payments Scale Rapidly
- India processed more than 131 billion UPI transactions in FY2023–24. This scale expands exposure to social engineering, mule accounts and cyber fraud.
- By combining fraud diagnostics, customer-journey redesign and operating-model support, YCP helps institutions strengthen controls without adding friction.
Keeping Pace With an Evolving Regulatory Agenda
- BFSI firms must adapt to tighter digital-lending, customer-protection, data-privacy and outsourcing requirements while maintaining consistent compliance execution.
- YCP translates regulatory change into practical governance, process and technology roadmaps, helping teams embed compliance across business operations.
Turning Financial Inclusion Into Sustainable Engagement
- India had over 540 million PMJDY accounts by early 2025, but account activity, tailored products and profitable last-mile service remain uneven.
- YCP supports segment-led product design, distribution optimization and digital engagement strategies to convert access into lasting customer value.

"YCP’s vast network and enormous experience in India, benefited us in identifying some of the competent Institutes, which were not on our radar before. Being a huge country, it is not easy to locate such Institutes that may not be popular or generally well known but that may have specific competencies useful for our applications. YCP truly served as a partner to link us with new academia in India, which has great potential for collaboration. I personally appreciate the dedication and professionalism of YCP's entire team, & particularly would like to thank Heiko for his excellent project management & valuable inputs. Thank you for the cooperation and we hope to continue the partnership we have built up so far. "
