With governments across the globe announcing relief packages for small businesses affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, we enhanced and customized our Newgen loan origination software for each geography to immediately cater to our customers’ needs. The software helps banks in processing loans to their small business customers promptly and efficiently while complying with the regulatory requirements. We have implemented the loan origination software for the SBA Payment Protection Program in the US and are also geared up to provide the software for the SME Guarantee Scheme in Australia and the CBILS Quick Loans Onboarding Solutions in the UK.
We will continue to focus on the US, Europe, and Australian markets and expect to build a strong growth momentum. Also, as part of our expansion plan, we are investing in building a sales channel for the global system integrator network. We hope to achieve a significant part of our revenues in the next five years through this channel.
Do you want to leave us with a word of advice?
Entrepreneurship involves passion. There is a lot of energy on the entrepreneurial journey. It’s not about making money or selling your company. You may work for only 10-12 hours a day, but your mind is continuously working on problems to solve, ideas keep coming. It is intense, hard and needs concentration. Entrepreneurship gives you time to create great work. “Time slows down”.
