BUSINESSNEXT Unveils GenAI and Agentic AI Solutions to Transform Lending for Banks and NBFCs
You're reading Entrepreneur India, an international franchise of Entrepreneur Media.
BUSINESSNEXT, a leading digital transformation platform, has launched advanced GenAI and Agentic AI assistants tailored for the lending sector. Aimed at revolutionising loan processing for banks and Non-Banking Financial Companies (NBFCs), the new solutions promise to accelerate approvals, enhance risk management, and improve borrower experience.
With financial institutions facing increasing volumes of loan applications and tightening compliance norms, the AI-powered assistants are designed to support key departments—including sales, operations, credit, and customer service—by automating repetitive tasks and delivering real-time insights.
The virtual assistants can evaluate loan eligibility, perform fraud checks, automate document verification, and offer personalised financial advice, thereby significantly reducing delays and errors in the loan lifecycle. For instance, the Virtual Customer Agent guides borrowers through applications by analysing financial data, while the KYC/KYB Agent speeds up onboarding by instantly verifying customer and business credentials.
"Loan processing can be time-consuming and complex, but AI-driven assistants help streamline these tasks," said Rahul Sheth, Vice President, Sales and Marketing at BUSINESSNEXT. "By automating application handling, risk assessment, and compliance checks, banks and NBFCs can process loans faster, reduce costs, and offer a better experience to customers."
Further strengthening risk management, the Banking Fraud Detection/Prevention Agent proactively identifies anomalies to prevent fraudulent activities, while the Balance Sheet Analyser helps credit teams instantly assess financial health, improving the accuracy of lending decisions.
The global digital lending market is forecasted to reach USD 20.5 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 14.6%, highlighting the demand for scalable and intelligent lending solutions.
BUSINESSNEXT's solutions stand out due to their deep BFSI-specific training, dynamic architecture, and empathy-trained response capabilities. They can cut operational costs by up to 80% and seamlessly integrate into existing lending workflows.
"By integrating GenAI and Agentic AI into lending ecosystems, banks and NBFCs can reduce loan processing time, enhance credit evaluation accuracy, and improve borrower experiences, making lending more efficient, secure, and customer-centric," Sheth added.
With this innovation, BUSINESSNEXT aims to redefine digital lending, helping financial institutions remain competitive in a fast-evolving landscape.

Kioxia AiSAQ Improves AI Inference With Lower DRAM Costs
Artificial Intelligence In April this year, Kioxia's Rory Bolt gave me a briefing on Kioxia's AiSAQ, an open-source project intended to promote the expanded use of SSDs in RAG AI solutions. The focus on AI is moving from generating foundational models with massive and expensive training to cost effective and scalable ways to create inference solutions that can solve real world problems. Retrieval-Augmented Generation is an approach to AI that combined traditional information retrieval systems with large language models. RAG enhances the performance of LLMs by allowing them to access and incorporate information from external knowledge sources, such as databases, websites, and internal documents, before generating a response. This approach helps LLMs produce more accurate, contextually relevant, and up-to-date information, especially when dealing with specific domains or real-time data. Kioxia has used AI to improve the output of its NAND fabs since 2017, mostly using machine vision to monitor trends and defect rates. In 2020 Kioxia used AI to generate the world's first AI-designed Manga, Phaedo, drawing on manga drawings and stories based on Osuma Tezuka's work. I was told that although larger data centers feed data to their AI models using hard drives, many in-house solutions train using data on SSDs. These solutions often work with foundational LLM models created with very large data sets and use RAG using in-house and perhaps more up to date data to tune the foundational model for a particular application and to avoid hallucinations. The image below illustrates how a database can be used for tuning of the original LLM. How Retrieval-Augmented Generation works to improve LLM Inference Here the customer query is answered using the LLM as well as domain specific and up to date information in a vector data base. Such RAG solutions can be done with the data base index and vectors all in DRAM, but such an approach can use a lot of memory, making them very expensive, particularly for large data bases. Microsoft developed Disk ANN which moved the bulk of the vector DB content to SSDs. This reduced the required DRAM footprint for the DB enabling greater scaling of vector DBS. This is used in products such as Azure Vector DB and Cosmos DB. Kioxia's All-in-Storage ANNS with Product Quantization, or AiSAQ completes the move of database vectors into storage, further reducing the DRAM requirements. These three approaches are represented in the drawing below. Comparison of data base DRAM requirements for DRAM and SSD-based RAG architectures Kioxia says that this approach enabled greater scalability for RAG workflows and thus better accuracy in the models. The image below shows the significant reduction of DRAM required for large databases compared to the DRAM-based, and DiskANN approach and the improved query accuracy. AiSAQ reduces DRAM costs, improves speed and inference accuracy In early July Kioxia announced further improvements to its AiSAQ. This new open source release allows flexible controls that allow system architects to define the balance point between search performance and the number of vectors, which are opposing factors with the fixed capacity of SSD storage in the system. The resulting benefit enables architects of RAG systems to fine-tune the optimal balance between specific workloads and their requirements, without any hardware modifications. Kioxia's AiSAQ allows more scalable RAG AI inference systems by moving database vectors entirely into storage, thus avoiding DRAM growth with increasing database sizes.

India's stock benchmarks off to a muted start on tariff jitters; Trump says India deal close
(Reuters) -India's benchmark shares were muted on Tuesday, after U.S. President Donald Trump pushed the implementation of tariffs to August 1 and announced steep import levies on several trading partners, while signalling that an India deal was close. The Nifty 50 fell 0.13% to 25,427.85 points and the BSE Sensex lost 0.07% to 83,387.03, as of 9:15 a.m. IST. Eight of the 13 major sectors advanced marginally at the open. The broader small-caps and mid-caps traded flat. Trump on Monday announced a 25% levy on key Asian allies Japan and South Korea while extending the deadline for the implementation of tariffs to August 1 from July 9, leaving room for more deals to be finalised. A deal with India was close, he said. Tariffs are expected to increase prices and slow growth, although uncertainty over the ultimate policies may be a bigger drag as it leads businesses to postpone decisions. Wall Street slid, with the S&P 500 Index logging its biggest drop in three weeks. Asian markets were mixed on the day, with MSCI's broadest index for Asia-Pacific stocks outside Japan down 0.1%.
