7 July, 2025, Bengaluru: IIM Bangalore is proud to announce that Muhammed Sadiq T, a Fellow from the inaugural cohort (2018–19) of the N. S. Ramaswamy Pre-doctoral Fellowship (NSR Pre-doc), has successfully defended his doctoral thesis at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and will be formally awarded the PhD degree at the institute’s upcoming convocation.

This marks a milestone for IIMB’s one-year, fulltime, fully-funded research-intensive programme, as Sadiq becomes the first Fellow to complete a doctoral degree. The feast also reaffirms the programme’s vision of preparing aspiring scholars, especially aspirants from underrepresented backgrounds, for academic excellence in management research.

“Currently, 51 of our Predoc Fellows have been admitted into PhD programs across the globe. This is the first PhD grant to a Predoc Fellow, and we believe it is the beginning of several such successful grants to come”, said Prof. Anil B. Suraj, Chairperson of the NSR Pre-doc programme and the Committee on Diversity and Inclusion.

Sadiq completed his PhD in the Information Systems area at the Department of Management Studies, IIT Madras, under the guidance of Professor Saji K. Mathew. His doctoral research, titled ‘Health Misinformation on Social Media: Psychological Drivers and Control Strategies’, examines the spread of health misinformation online. His thesis maps key drivers and control strategies of misinformation across social media platforms, evaluates the effectiveness of digital nudges to reduce misinformation on end-to-end encrypted messaging platforms, and investigates the socio-psychological factors that motivate users to share health-related misinformation, offering several implications for public health communication. His work has resulted in high-quality academic publications, including, ‘The disaster of misinformation: A review of research in social media’, published in the International Journal of Data Science and Analytics (Springer, 2022), and ‘Infodemic and its cure: A digital nudging approach’, presented at AMCIS 2023. He has also presented his research work at major international IS conferences such as ICIS and AMCIS. As part of his PhD journey, Sadiq was also a doctoral visiting researcher at the University of Illinois, Chicago, USA, where he collaborated with international scholars on projects related to users’ digital health behavior, which was later published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research.

During his time at IIMB, Sadiq was mentored by Prof. Rajendra K. Bandi, Information Systems area, with Prof. Rajluxmi V. Murthy, Decision Sciences area, serving as the Chairperson of the NSR Pre-doc Programme.

“I am deeply thankful to Prof. Bandi for his guidance and support during my Pre-Doc days at IIMB. His encouragement played a key role in my decision to pursue the PhD programme in Information Systems. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to Dr. Sunil Reddy Kunduru (currently faculty at IIM Amritsar), who also passionately mentored me. I extend my gratitude to Prof. Rajluxmi V. Murthy, who was our Predoc chairperson then”, said Sadiq, sharing the news.

On the fellowship having shaped the trajectory of his academic career, Sadiq shared, “I truly appreciate the opportunities and exposure the NSR Pre-Doc program at IIMB gave me, which laid a strong foundation for my academic pursuits and growth. Thank you for designing such a wonderful programme. I sincerely hope IIMB will continue to support more such diverse and impactful programmes in the future”.

On the achievement, Prof. Rishikesha T. Krishnan, Director, IIMB, said, “Sadiq’s doctoral completion is a defining moment for the NSR Pre-doc Fellowship. It reflects the academic rigour and design that have shaped the programme from the outset. We remain committed to strengthening the research pipeline in management through such initiatives and look forward to many more such milestones”.

The NSR Pre-doctoral Fellowship, launched in 2018, is an initiative by IIMB aimed at enhancing the diversity of thought and experience in management research. It is a one-of-a-kind apprenticeship programme designed to help Fellows prepare for doctoral studies at leading institutions in India and abroad. As of 2025, 51 NSR Pre-doc Fellows have gained admission to doctoral programmes globally.

Nuvama Wealth Management Upgraded to CARE AA; Stable — Diversified Growth and Profitability Drive Rating Boost

Kolkata, July 7, 2025: CareEdge Ratings has upgraded the long-term credit rating of Nuvama Wealth Management Limited (NWML) to CARE AA; Stable, while reaffirming its short-term rating at CARE A1+. The upgrade reflects the company’s strong financial performance, consistent profitability, and a well-diversified business model across wealth management, asset services, asset management, and capital markets.

In its rating rationale, CareEdge Ratings said: The upgrade in ratings assigned to debt instruments of the Nuvama Group factors in healthy growth in the wealth management, asset services and capital market segments, which further strengthens its established market presence, and improving profitability, supported by a diversified business model.

As of March 31, 2025, the group’s consolidated client assets under advisory (AUA) surged to Rs. 4.3 lakh crore – a 24% year-on-year growth. The consolidated profit after tax (PAT) for FY25 stood at Rs. 985 crores, up from Rs. 625 crores in FY24, with return on net worth (RoNW) improving to 31.79%. Nuvama Group currently serves over 1.2 million affluent customers and 4250 HNI/UHNI families, making it the second-largest independent wealth management player in India.

With strong capitalisation (tangible net worth of ₹3,405 crore), a growing client base, and a stable outlook, Nuvama continues to demonstrate resilience and momentum in a dynamic financial landscape.

In addition, the group’s ESG initiatives, board-led governance practices and continued investment in talent reinforce its reputation as a future-ready and resilient institution. This recognition is another affirmation into Nuvama’s transformation into a governance-first, technology-led and solution-driven wealth management powerhouse catering to India’s rapidly evolving affluent and HNI investor base.

Mumbai, 7^th July 2025: CRIF High Mark, a leading credit bureau in India and part of the global CRIF group, has released its annual report, How India Lends: FY25. The report provides deep insights into the credit landscape of India, emphasizing the influence of macroeconomic conditions, borrower behaviour, and lender strategies shaped lending trends over the past financial year.  The report offers in-depth insights across key lending categories including Home Loans, Personal Loans, Two-Wheeler and Auto Loans, Consumer Durable Loans, Credit Card Loans, Microfinance, and more

FY25 witnessed a nuanced credit environment. While overall Portfolio Outstanding (POS) continued to grow, origination value growth moderated, signaling evolving borrower preferences and increased lender prudence. High-ticket loans saw stronger traction, while small-ticket lending slowed amidst rising inflation, affordability concerns, and tighter risk controls.

Public Sector Banks (PSUs) and NBFCs gained market share across multiple loan categories, even as private banks saw relative declines in select segments. Lenders sharpened their focus on risk management, with improvements in early-stage stress levels in some portfolios, though later-stage delinquencies—particularly in low-value and subprime segments—remain a concern.

Retail loans: A deep dive

In the home loan segment, origination growth slowed to 2.6% YoY as higher property prices and macro headwinds impacted volumes. PSU banks expanded their share in both value and volume, while private banks lost ground. Origination values shifted toward higher-ticket loans (₹75L+), and while early stress indicators improved across lenders, small-ticket loans below ₹5L continued to show elevated delinquency risks.

Personal loan originations declined by 2.6% in value, reflecting increased caution amid rising delinquencies. NBFCs gained market share significantly, and high-value loans (₹10L+) saw growth, even as lenders faced growing stress in the ₹1L–₹5L segment. Early and mid-stage delinquencies worsened across most lender types, except private banks.

Two-wheeler loan growth moderated to 10.6% in FY25, down from 25.1% in the previous year. Subprime borrower stress and tighter credit norms led to a rise in delinquencies across all lender types. PSU and private banks both witnessed an uptick in early and mid-stage PAR levels, indicating continued pressure in this category.

Auto loans grew just 5.2% YoY, a sharp decline from 15.3% in FY24 and 37.6% in FY23. This slowdown was driven by muted consumer demand and a high base effect in vehicle sales. High-value loans now account for nearly half of originations, with significant traction in the ₹10L–₹20L+ bands. PSU banks effectively managed risk across delinquency stages, while private banks maintained early-stage control but saw some deterioration in later-stage metrics.

Consumer durable loan originations saw a modest 3.3% growth in value despite 11.5% volume growth, with average ticket sizes shrinking due to inflation and stagnant real wages. NBFCs continued to dominate this space, accounting for over 80% of the origination value. The loan distribution remained concentrated in the ₹10K–₹50K range, with mid-value loans gradually gaining ground.

Credit card originations declined by 26.4% in FY25, following two years of strong growth. Private banks lost 1.7% share in new originations, indicating intensifying competition and a shift in credit card acquisition strategies.

A look at microfinance lending:

Microfinance lending saw a 13.9% YoY decline in Gross Loan Portfolio (GLP), driven by lender caution and strategic recalibration. While early-stage delinquencies improved, long-term risk remains high. NBFC-MFIs showed relative resilience, with a smaller QoQ decline, supported by Q4 originations. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka led the decline in GLP, while smaller ticket loans continued to contract.

Individual MSMEs saw a 4.5% rise in origination value, but volumes declined by 11.4%, suggesting selective lending at higher ticket sizes. The average loan size rose from ₹7.0L to ₹7.6L, reflecting demand for larger capital support. While private banks showed improvement in PAR 31–180%, other lender types experienced a continued rise in mid-term stress. PAR 181–360% remained stable, with NBFCs showing a marginal improvement.

“FY25 was marked by recalibration and resilience across the credit ecosystem. As borrowers gravitated towards higher-ticket loans and lenders adapted to evolving risks, we saw a deliberate shift in strategies aimed at managing portfolio quality while addressing changing consumer needs. ‘How India Lends’ serves as a critical lens to understand these shifts, offering actionable insights that empower financial institutions to navigate complexity, enhance financial inclusion, and build a robust credit ecosystem for India’s future” said Sachin Seth, Chairman, CRIF High Mark; Regional Managing Director – CRIF India and South Asia

The findings from How India Lends FY25 underscore a more cautious credit environment. As lenders navigate an evolving risk landscape and consumers adjust financial strategies in response to macroeconomic pressures, FY25 has emerged as a year of recalibration. This strategic shift is expected to set the tone for lending behavior and credit policy formulation in FY26 and beyond.

Mumbai, July 7, 2025 — Financial services firm Equirus Securities has released a press note on auto sales and trends for the month of June 2025.

The Electric 2-Wheeler sales grew 32% YoY to ~105k units in June 2025 with a penetration of 7.3% in Jun’25 Vs 5.8% in Jun’24.

However, in the coming months, there could disruption in the E2W supply chain due to ban on rare earth magnet exports by China.

Legacy 2W players like TVS Motors (24% market share) and Bajaj Auto (21.8% market share) continued to dominate the E2W market on the back of their network expansion efforts. TVS motors also slashed the prices of its E2W and increased the battery capacity of some of its variants in May’25 which has helped it to increase its market share. TVS Motors tops the E2W market for 3rd consecutive month and Q1FY26.

Hero Motocorp’s network expansion for its E2W has also helped it increase its market share. Ola Electric’s sales were down ~45% yoy and had a market share 19.2% in Jun’25, which was down considerably from 46.1% in Jun’25. Ola also began customer deliveries of its Roadster X electric motorcycle in May’25. Bajaj Auto’s CNG bike has failed to gain significant traction so far with sales of just ~3.1k units in Jun’25. The limited availability of CNG stations in many areas, along with customer hesitation in adopting new technology, has led to the overall poor response to the CNG bike so far. However, there is some traction for the CNG bike among gig workers in urban areas.

Three Wheelers

The share of CNG has been on a declining trend over the last one year and stands at 25%in Jun’25 Vs 30% in Jun’24 whereas the share of E3W has increased to 60% Vs 55% in Jun’24.

National, July 7, 2025: At an age when most teens are focused on school exams and social media, a group of high school students from St. Xaviers High School – Gurugram, are rewriting what youth leadership looks like. Through two student-led initiatives—Heal.Ed, which bridges gaps in healthcare and education through workshops on brain development, mental wellness, and health awareness, and Project Spark, which offers academic support, skill-building, and career exposure—these young changemakers are driving real impact for children from underserved communities. Their latest collaboration, Zariyaa, took place on July 6th at Club Florence, Gurgaon.

Organised entirely by students, Zariyaa was both a fundraiser and a talent showcase, featuring performances by 20+ children from NGOs the groups have been working with. These children—many of whom had little prior exposure to the arts—took the stage to perform in music, dance, and theatre, highlighting the confidence and creativity nurtured through months of workshops, mentorship, and support.

“We wanted to give these kids not just resources, but also recognition,” says Seerat Khanna, a Grade 11 student at St. Xavier’s High School and the driving force behind both initiatives.

In addition to the performances, the event included a panel discussion with experts from the education, health, and social impact sectors, discussing long-term solutions for empowering underserved communities. The goal was not only to raise funds, but to raise awareness and involvement.

The name Zariyaa, which means medium or pathway, reflects the broader mission of the event—to create space for unheard voices, untapped talent, and unseen impact. All funds raised will go directly toward continuing Heal.Ed and Project Spark’s programming with these children.
