SUMMARY OF RESPONSES
The decision of changing the name of the report from ‘State of the Sector Report’ to ‘Inclusive Finance India Report’ is
highly appreciated by the members. Members mentioned that the term inclusive finance indicates that the focus is on
client-side perspectives and sustainable financial deepening. The
Inclusive Finance India Report
needs to be more holistic
covering all the dimensions of inclusion such as social inclusion, digital inclusion, financial inclusion, geographical
inclusion, and cultural inclusion.
