Robust governance, compliance oversight, and joint portfolio monitoring processes have been established to ensure transparency, regulatory compliance, and prudent portfolio management.
On the partnership, Pankaj Gupta, MD & CEO, Godrej Finance, a subsidiary of Godrej Capital, said, “This partnership aligns with our strategy to broaden our secured lending portfolio. Gold has long been a trusted financial asset for Indian households, and we see a significant opportunity to serve this segment in a more structured and transparent manner.
