\"Supply<\/p>

Launching a new supply chain finance product in India should be a straightforward way for banks and NBFCs to support corporates, suppliers, and distributors with timely access to working capital. Yet in reality, it often takes weeks, sometimes months, before a new supply chain finance solution is ready to go live. During this time, businesses wait for liquidity, suppliers wait for payments, and competitors with faster rollouts gain an edge.<\/p>
