What Bajaj Finance does

India's largest consumer-lending NBFC, financing consumer durables, personal loans, credit cards and SMEs.

Earns the spread between what it pays for funding, mostly market borrowings and fixed deposits, and what it charges on loans, with its EMI card and merchant financing feeding repeat borrowers. Bajaj Finserv, part of the Bajaj group, owns the majority of the shares. Unlike banks, it cannot take everyday savings deposits.

In one line: India's Synchrony Financial for consumer lending.
