The microfinance sector in India has expanded rapidly, becoming the largest in the world with a variety of institutions. "Indian Microfinance: The Challenges of Rapid Growth" explores the challenges faced by the sector, including delivery models, microinsurance, money transfers, training, capacity building, and opportunities for commercial financiers like bankers and venture capitalists. The book also discusses the need for policy and regulatory changes, particularly in light of new legislation being considered. Lessons from the 2006 conflict between the government of Andhra Pradesh and MFls are analyzed in a separate chapter. The main challenge highlighted is the importance of improving borrower, public, and regulatory support through increased transparency and education. The book is a valuable resource for practitioners, bankers, regulators, policymakers, and the development community, as well as academics, media personnel, and the general public interested in microfinance.
