Annual Report 2012
POWERFUL TEAMS GREAT GOALS 2012 - 2013 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 PEOPLE POWER 2 As we step into the 6th year since commencement of operations, Asirvad has been part of the highs and lows experienced by the industry. Amongst all this, one aspect stands out very prominently – the power of its people. As the saying goes, “Men are more powerful than all the resources of the world”, Asirvad has been fortunate to attract some of the best talent to manage its Microfinance operations. The fact that about 75% of the employees have been with the organization for 2 or more years speaks volumes about the employeefriendly nature of the organization. Challenging yet exciting working environment, attractive effort-reward ratio, and genuine concern towards employee welfare have been the hallmarks of Asirvad. It would not be an overstatement to say that the employees have amply reciprocated the warmth showered on them. Despite the rough times faced by the industry since the infamous AP crisis that broke out in Oct ’10, Asirvad and its staff have been of huge support to each other. The diligence exhibited by the staff, right from the field staff to the Management team, coupled with the able guidance, support and encouragement of the Board, has contributed to the organization tiding over the crisis and be in a position poised for future growth. Asirvad is proud to have to have ‘People power’ as the central theme of its 6th Annual report. We are confident that ‘Together, we will achieve more’ and continue to contribute to the welfare and service of the underserved. 3 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 ASIRVAD STORY Small Loans, Big Dreams... “ There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up 4 -John Holmes ” Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 YEARS AT A GLANCE March 08 March 09 March 10 March 11 March 12 March 13 OPERATIONAL METRICS No: Members enrolled 6,092 57,276 147,850 334,135 387,535 426,489 No: Active members 6,092 48,425 126,483 219,043 173,109 113,416 235 2,152 6,137 12,380 15,205 17,375 No: Branches 2 19 49 85 78 64 No: Districts covered 2 7 14 22 21 20 No: States covered 1 1 1 1 1 1 19 130 327 531 412 280 Cumilative LTD disbursal (` in Laks) 305 2,570 11,889 31,487 46,067 59,551 Portfolio Outstanding (Gross) (` in Laks) 286 1,509 6,243 10,101 7,937 10,246 - - 2 63 1 - No: Centres HEADCOUNT METRICS Total staff DELINQUENCY METRICS (` LAKHS) PAR (`in Laks) 5 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 BOARD OF DIRECTORS S V Raja Vaidyanathan S V Krishnamurthy Kalpana Iyer Rajivan Krishnaswamy S Rathinasabapathi Venkatesh Natarajan MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE S V Raja Vaidyanathan Venkatesh Natarajan S V Krishnamurthy G Srikanth BORROWING COMMITTEE S V Raja Vaidyanathan S V Krishnamurthy S Rathinasabapathi ASSET LIABILITY COMMITTEE S V Raja Vaidyanathan G Srikanth B Muralidharan Iyer AUDITORS M/s.Deloitte Haskins & Sells., Chartered Accountants, ASV ‘N’ Ramana Tower, 52, Venkatnarayana Road, T.Nagar, Chennai17.

Access to finance in turn leads to access to other services and consequently better standard of living. However, we find a characteristic peculiarity in the Indian context with respect to the availability of financial resources. While the rural households do have manifold needs, their ability to avail financial resources is severely constrained. This is primarily due to supply restrictions like the outright absence of financial services facilities in rural areas or inappropriateness of products and delivery processes to the needs of the targeted populations. Given this background, Microfinance, as a means of providing financial access to hitherto underserved segments, held huge promises because of its explicit mission to target population who stand excluded from access to financial services, and also because of its innovative nature. Simplicity of the processes involved, direct lending to the beneficiary, and the door-step collections served as the primary attractions. Women particularly were able to benefit from microfinance as many Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) targeted female clients. Microfinance services resulted in women’s empowerment by positively influencing women’s decision-making power and enhancing their overall socio-economic status. Amidst all the positive impact created by the MFIs on the borrowers and their standard of living, 9 there were certain undesirable practices, albeit too few, that had crept into the operations of the MFIs. The infamous AP crisis of Oct 2010 was the step taken by the Andhra Pradesh Government to weed out those practices, which unfortunately had a crippling effect on the entire industry. However, much has happened since then and I am glad to note that the MFI sector is well on its path to recovery. RBI’s initiative in creating a new category of NBFC-MFI, Central bill to regulate the NBFC-MFIs to be tabled in the parliament, protection of borrower and organization interests through the usage of credit bureau were all the steps in the right direction to resurrect the MFI industry. Lot of progress has been made and the industry has managed to get back some of its lost aura. Asirvad was formed with the intention of providing financial access to the underserved through the formation of a commercially viable business. I am happy to state that we have managed to achieve our stated objectives without compromising the interests of any of our stakeholders. We have created an efficient organization upon the strong foundation of sound corporate governance, set up well-oiled processes, managed to attract talented people who have helped achieve our objectives within a short time frame. I am sure that we will scale new highs in the years to come. The liquidity conditions started to improve during the 2nd half of 2012-13 and Asirvad was also a beneficiary of liquidity from banks and financial institutions given the strength of its operations. We were able to develop new funding relationships and also obtain enhancements from existing funders. This resulted in growth of our portfolio in FY 2012-13 by about 30% against FY 2011-12. Given the tough liquidity conditions that persisted in FY 2011-12, we had also rationalized our branch expenses through consolidation measures. Once the funds position eased out, we were able to utilize our infrastructure in a better manner resulting in portfolio growth Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 I also take pride in mentioning that continuous process efficiency is accorded top priority at Asirvad. We have been one of the earliest to subscribe to the Credit bureau, share exhaustive data with them and also use the bureau reports for credit decisioning. This has enabled us to build portfolio of very strong quality and also comply with the Central bank regulations. The technology used at Asirvad is robust enough to facilitate such data sharing with the bureaus and we have also continuously enhanced our software to ensure that it is in line with the various guidelines that have been laid out from time to time. We have also submitted our application for registration as NBFC-MFI and all the queries that had been raised by the Central bank from time to time in this regard have been addressed to their satisfaction. All this was made possible due to the untiring efforts of Asirvad staff, who are the pillars of strength on which Asirvad rests. It is also heartening to note that most of our staff are of high vintage which indicate that they have been with the organization in both the happy and turbulent times. The single pointed objective of our field staff is to make a valuable contribution to the lives of our clients and thereby uplift their standard of living. They are ably guided by the senior management members, who have longstanding experience in the field of banking and financial services. Such experience has been leveraged to make Asirvad an efficient and effective organisation, which has helped us to sustain ourselves during times of crisis as well ,the reason why we have dedicated this years Annual Report Cover to them. Asirvad Development Foundation (ADF), the Social Responsibility wing of our company, set up in March 2010 continued to provide assistance to our members and to the economically weaker section of the society at large. During the year 2012-13, our Trust launched student scholarship schemes for the benefit of poor children so that they may have access to good education. Our Trust had also provided funds for the renovation 10 of school buildings at remote places in order to ensure infrastructure development in such schools. We remain committed to our social objectives and we have transferred 5% of our current year profits to Asirvad Development Foundation. On behalf of Asirvad, I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to all the stakeholders for their continued and active support. The commitment and co-operation of our staff has been the single most important factor in Asirvad achieving its mission and the company derives maximum strength from their dedication and hard work to achieve its ambitious growth plans. Good times await us and I pray that Asirvad continues to grow from strength to strength and contribute positively to the agenda of financial inclusion and social development. Sd/S.V.

For and on behalf of the Board of Directors Sd/(S.V. Raja Vaidyanathan) Chennai | 6th June, 2013 15 Chairman and Managing Director Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANALYSIS 16 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANALYSIS INTRODUCTION Financial inclusion is defined as the delivery of financial services, at affordable costs, to sections of disadvantaged and low income segments of society. Given the wide diaspora of people living in our country, it becomes essential to provide everyone with access to finance in order to bring about an improvement in standard of life and living. Traditional financial institutions like banks were not able to achieve this goal of financial inclusion completely due to their business model which makes such business unviable. Microfinance Institutions (MFI) provided a solution to bridge this gap and made financial access possible even to the low income segments of the society. The business model made commercial and social sense which enabled the MFIs to grow at a rapid pace. Historically, the industry was always prone to certain setbacks and the infamous AP crisis was the latest to hit the sector in Oct 2010. Much progress has been made since then with the Reserve bank of India creating a separate category of NBFC-MFI, promulgating various ordinances to regulate their activities, bringing about a cap on the interest rates and margins, streamlining the collection mechanism, preparation of a Microfinance bill to bring about a central regulator, MFIs’ usage of credit bureaus to avoid over-indebtedness and multiple lending, etc which has helped the industry to come out of the crisis. The much wanted liquidity started finding its way back to the sector thereby exhibiting the renewed confidence of the lenders. Asirvad was also a beneficiary of such renewed trust, which helped the organization raise significant amount of funds during the third and fourth quarters of 2012-13. This in turn enabled the organization to grow its portfolio beyond the Rs. 100 Cr mark despite the tight market conditions and stiff competition from other MFIs in the State of Tamil Nadu. Our company was also a participant in a number of multi-originator transactions which ensured reasonably steady flow of liquidity for on-lending during the lean period. Asirvad was also a party to the only listed Multi-Originator Securitization transaction structured by IFMR Capital, which was a landmark event in the annals of MFI industry. Given the margin cap imposed by RBI, Asirvad had undertaken expense rationalization measures during 2011-12, which continued during the current year as well. Unprofitable branches were consolidated resulting in expense saves. Usage of credit bureau coupled with stringent underwriting norms ensured the build-up of a strong portfolio, resulting in NIL delinquent portfolio as at Mar ’13. ADHERENCE TO RBI GUIDELINES In addition to the guidlines issued by RBI to qualify for registration as NBFC - MFI, RBI introduced new FPC codes and other guidelines for ensuring fair practices in business and protecting the borrowers from excessive interest rates and over-indebtedness. Our Company proactively ensured compliance with all the stipulated guidelines. WAY FORWARD Over the last few months, Reserve Bank of India has been donning the mantle of being the regulator of the microfinance sector and through its recent guidelines for registering as “NBFC-MFI” has signaled its intention to streamline the activities of MFIs towards inclusive growth. Our company has already applied for registering as “NBFC -MFI and we hope that will pave the way for banks to start lending to this sector on a continuous basis, which will help in providing financial assistance to the 17 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 people living at the bottom of the pyramid and go a long way in building a stronger and vibrant India. FINANCIAL YEAR 2012-13 Liquidity pressure was felt through the first half of 2012-13 and our portfolio had shown a sharp de-growth during this period. However, the last quarter witnessed fresh inflow of funds which helped in achieving the current portfolio size. Our company revamped the business model, products and continuously took steps to strengthen the processes and audit framework to ensure that issues, if any, are resolved immediately. Our company continues to rely on the strengths of good governance, technological efficiency, distribution network, and strong and efficient processes which have been the cornerstones of our success and the basis on which our portfolio was built. OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS The financial year 2012-13 saw some light at the end of the tunnel as portfolio started to exhibit a growing trend. RBI had issued guidelines from time to time which were adhered to strictly by our company. Expense reduction, consolidation of branches was undertaken keeping the branch viability and geographical concerns in mind. Due to the untiring work of field staff our portfolio grew by about 30% compared to the previous year, and we are confident that we will be able to grow this further in the forthcoming years due to the strong management capabilities and the policies in place. The following are some of the operational highlights: Particulars March 2013 March 2012 March 2011 No. of branches 64 78 85 No. of districts 20 21 22 280 412 531 113,512 173,109 219,043 129 151 196 No. of employees No. of active members Disbursements (` in crores) FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS The financial year 2012-13 showed improvement on the financials as well and some of the key (` in Crores) financial metrics are given below: Particulars Paid-up capital March 2012 March 2011 8.04 8.04 8.04 Borrowings 98.98 50.40 73.65 Total revenue 20.40 24.28 29.31 Profit after tax 2.13 1.29 3.59 131.96 78.74 97.89 Total assets 18 March 2013 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES The key to the success of any business lies in having a healthy relationship with the primary customers. This is more so for the Microfinance industry as the customers come from the lower half of the pyramid and hence customer training assumes paramount importance. Keeping this in mind, we have not compromised on the 3-day training provided to them before the disbursal of the loan wherein they are kept informed about the profile of the company, terms and conditions of our products, pricing and other important issues. We are also committed to ensure complete transparency in our operations. Also in line with the RBI guidelines, our Company interacts with the customers by having scheduled group meetings in a common place without causing any hindrance to the general public. We are one of the very few companies that still insist on a minimum attendance and give more weightage to the attendance criteria during the grant of a higher cycle loan. HUMAN RESOURCES Field Development Officers are primarily socially motivated and they work “to help people”. Being a highly people oriented business, the primary challenge is to find a large pool of people with the right skill sets and aptitude, followed by additional challenges of retention, talent management and development. It is also necessary to enhance their skill and knowledge so that they become capable of assuming higher responsibilities in the future. As at the end of March 31, 2013, the number of employees in our Company stood at 280 across 20 districts of Tamil Nadu. The other challenge is to manage the attrition which is generally high amongst the Field Officers due to their tendency to shift employment regularly for higher monetary benefits to other companies or other lucrative industries. The compensation provided by our company is benchmarked to the market and we also conduct performance appraisal to retain the best talent and take steps to promote and reward high performing individuals. Out of the total employee strength mentioned above, about 75% of employees have been with us for more than 2 years, which indicates the high level of employee stickiness that has been the foundation on which the organization rests. TRAINING Our company imparts induction and also continuous training to our staff so that they have a clear understanding of the processes followed and also get the necessary skiils to shoulder additional responsibilities which will help in their career progression. Our company has a DVD (in vernacular language) containing the operational process in detail which is used to impart induction training to the staff. Also the incumbent field staff is placed under senior field staff and he / she accompanies the senior staff during field visits which will enable him/her to understand the process on the field under an able guidance. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Our company had strongly relied on technology for capturing borrower data and updating the collections which has resulted in better operational and reporting requirement, reducing the manhours of staff and productively utilizing the time of field staff. We have separate data engines to meet our transactional and reporting requirements. We have also hired dedicated server space in an external server for data storage in addition to a server hosted at Chennai, which acts as the backup. This ensures close to zero outage time and demonstrates our preparedness to meet any eventualities. 19 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 TREASURY Raising liquidity was a challenge during the first half of the financial year 2012-13. Despite strong portfolio without any presence in AP, banks were still reluctant in opening up any funding to the industry at large. Due to our good relationships with funders and more importantly our efficient process framework, our company managed to get sanctions from banks and development institutions during the second half of the financial year. During the year, we had managed to raise about Rs. 148 Crores from various sources which enables us to cater to the needs of our borrowers. INTERNAL AUDIT In order to maintain better control over our processes and also as an expense reduction measure, our company migrated to an in-house audit team during the current financial year. This has resulted in better supervision and management and immediate resolution of issues. Through this arrangement, our Company also managed to retain and provide better opportunities to some of the senior staff (at Area Manager level) who have been managing the operations for quite some time and this gave them the opportunity to utilize their skills in a different function. RISK MANAGEMENT Every organization is subject to the following risks - Credit risk (risk of delinquency), Operational risk (risk of inadequate processes), Liquidity risk (risk of paucity in funding availability) and Sector risk (political considerations and the like). The Risk Management framework of an organization serves to minimize the impact in the event of any risks threatening to compromise the organizational strength. Our company had put in adequate checks and balances to minimize these risk incidents and also to counter-act as and when these risks occur. Our Company has constantly brought in changes to the time tested processes to away untoward incidents and help manage credit and operational risks. The stringent borrower selection process ensures minimal credit risk and employee training coupled with a robust audit mechanism helps manage operational risk. Our Company has also constituted the ALCO (Asset-Liability Committee) which meets at periodic intervals to ensure that there is always a positive asset-liability pattern and funding is adequately available to meet the financial obligations that become due in the forthcoming months. The ALM of the organization is discussed in detail and necessary action taken to ensure that it is in line with standard requirements. Our company mandates strict adherence to regulatory guidelines comprising of KYC requirements, transparency, usage of credit bureau, etc, and thereby expended all efforts to ensure orderly functioning, which in a matured scenario, would be sufficient to address the sector risk. We also expect these to act as confidence building measures for the banks to resume funding to our company which would serve to address the liquidity risk.

With bountiful blessings of the Almighty, generous support from benefactors, timely assistance from authorities, dedicated service from the staff and, above all, whole hearted cooperation from the beneficiaries and public at large, at every step of the way, we were able to turn every thorn into a rose petal despite the tough operating environment. ADF believes in the practice of benevolent giving and caring. During 2012-13, ADF focused its attention on providing scholarships to poor students and also providing funds for primary schools in order to improve the infrastructure facilities as it was observed that the rural schools did not even have the basic infrastructure facilities. In some cases school students were forced to sit under thatched roofs or under trees for their classes which resulted in school dropouts. Classrooms with lack of resources also affected the mental health of the children. Our Trust provided financial assistance to NMR Subbaraman Memorial Residential Primary School at Madurai for renovation of the school building and the first instalment was paid last year. It is hoped that the new facilities will provide the students with a more comfortable environment conducive for learning. The renovation work was constantly supervised by the staff of AMPL and the inauguration function was organized on the 30th July 2012. Mr. S V Raja Vaidyanathan, Managing Trustee was the Chief Guest who laid the foundation stone and inaugurated the renovated school building. The management and students were delighted to have the renovated building and the management was very appreciative of the activities of the trust. NMR Subbaraman Memorial Residential Primary School, Madurai Our trust also received request for financial assistance from Anbu Primary School, Chinnalapatti for repairing the thatched roofing and the side walls. The renovation work was completed successfully and the inauguration function was organized on the 9th November 2012. Mr. S V Raja Vaidyanathan, Managing Trustee was the Chief Guest who laid the foundation stone and inaugurated the renovated school building in the presence of school functionaries. The students performed various cultural programmes which lifted the spirits of all the people attending the function. 29 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 ANBU Primary School, Chinnalapatti Improving health care access for those with limited incomes and resources is one of the fundamental objects of the trust. Our Trust facilitates low-income, uninsured, and underserved to have access to health care. The free health camps which were started last year provided the much needed impetus for people to get regular medical checkups done and also get treatment at the appropriate time. With the objective of providing medical care to such people, this year Asirvad decided to provide donations for medical assistance. The trust received request from Ms. Vimala, w/o Santhiyagu, suffering from Diabetes Mellitus with gangrene on his right foot, for financial assistance towards her husband’s surgery expenses. With the financial assistance from ADF, he was able to procure artificial limb and benefit from the same. ADF launched the Scholarship for School Student (SSS) last year to bring inclusive development at the grass root level and continued with the scheme for the Academic Year 2012-13. 20 applications were shortlisted and these students received scholarships for the academic year 2012 – 2013 and this scholarship will be continued till these children complete their higher education. Any catastrophe affects the life of people, especially poor people whose homes and livelihood get badly damaged by such untoward events. All over the world, life of people changes the day calamities hit them and they are caught off guard by natural / man-made disasters. It takes a very long time for them to come back to normalcy. These instances also leave a scar in the minds of the affected. One such case was the recent fire accident at Tuticorin. It was very disheartening to note that the huts were gutted and people lost all the utensils affecting their daily way of life. Suddenly, they were forced on to the streets with no shelter and no food. Government and many other organizations had been giving a helping hand in those needy hours by providing meals. Our trust also joined the effort and it was decided to give utensils and mattress to the affected lot. The items were distributed to the affected lot by the staff of AMPL. Aide given to people affected by natural calamities 30 Sixth Annual Report 2012-13 In all these endeavours, we have received the generous and whole-hearted support and assistance from thousands of individuals, institutions and organizations, both Government and Non-Government, national and international. Our achievements are still miniscule when compared to the immensity and imminence of the tasks we have already committed ourselves to and the tasks awaiting and clamouring for our attention. Our trust looks forward and gears up for the immense work awaiting us in the field of social service that uplifts the oppressed, awakens the depressed, comforts the deprived and rehabilitates the displaced. Our trust would continue to work towards the uplift of the poor and is confident of valuable contributions from all concerned in furthering its objectives of catering to the health, education and other activities in the future.
