Slice SFB aiming to close FY26 in the black; not looking to raise any capital
Slice Small Finance Bank has turned profitable on a monthly basis and is aiming to close FY26 in the black, a top official has said. The entity, which came out of a surprising merger between the fintech Slice and the North East SFB a few months ago, is adequately capitalised and not looking to raise any capital, its executive director Rajan Bajaj told PTI. The current focus is to build a pan-India business using the low-cost digital channels, and the entity is not interested in any more mergers, Bajaj said, adding that it may look at transitioning to a universal bank in the next five years. Before the merger, the North East SFB had reported a loss of Rs 441 crore, and Slice was also reporting losses. "We have turned profitable post-tax on a monthly basis and will close the year in profits," Bajaj said. The bank is adequately capitalised and the buffers will also be supported by the profits, he added. As per recent media reports, the bank was aiming to raise up to USD 300 million in capital. It is adding up to 3 lakh new accounts to its base on the back of digital journeys, Bajaj said, pointing out that the savings bank interest rate offering is at par with the RBI's repo rate and the fixed deposit offerings are a notch higher, which is helping in attracting customers. The pace of account opening is the fifth or the sixth fastest in the industry and at par with much bigger rivals, he said. On the lending front, it does consumer credit including unsecured personal loans and business credit which includes loans against property, he said, stressing that the focus is on serving people who may be underserved by the banking system. Aiming for a big increase in its borrowers and loan portfolio, the bank launched a UPI-based credit card on Saturday, Bajaj said, pointing out that over 30 crore of UPI users can be the potential target audience for such an offering. The bank stands to make an interchange of up to 1 per cent depending on where the credit facility is availed, and will also make revenues from rollovers and fees, he said. Bajaj said its personal credit vertical has been able to deliver credit at a cost which is a tenth of the industry courtesy digital inputs, and added that the credit costs are also 30 per cent lower than the industry average because of the analytics engine which is used for diligence. The bank also launched a 'UPI-powered bank branch' in Bengaluru, which can be used by any bank's customers for a slew of transactions, including cash deposits into any account using cash accepting machine, and then remitting the money to any mobile number, Bajaj said.

AI shift: India's IT majors embrace integration over invention, upskill workforce as global market booms
AI image Indian IT giants are reorienting their business models around artificial intelligence, shedding traditional digital transformation narratives in favour of AI-native strategies focused on high-margin applications and integration — not foundational AI research. A review of FY25 annual reports of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Infosys , Wipro and Tech Mahindra reveals a clear pattern: India's top tech firms are positioning themselves as leading AI integrators, rather than developers of core generative AI models, according to PTI. This pivot comes amid rising global demand for enterprise AI solutions, projected to help push the worldwide AI market to an estimated $1.3 trillion within the next decade. TCS's annual report is themed 'The Perpetually Adaptive Enterprise,' built around an 'AI-First approach.' Infosys's strategy is more direct, under the theme 'AI Your Enterprise,' while Wipro underscores its enabler role with 'Helping Clients Build AI-Powered Future-Ready Businesses.' Tech Mahindra's report similarly highlights 'AI Delivered Right.' 'Let us think of AI as a gifted child prodigy born and brought up in a library,' said Anand G Mahindra, chairman of Mahindra Group. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Run Your Business Like a Pro - Top Trending Accounting Software (Check Now) Accounting ERP Click Here Undo 'It has access to all the knowledge in the world. It absorbs everything—information, fact, fiction, truth, untruth, every pattern of human behaviour. Used well, it can create extraordinary value, particularly for businesses like TechM,' he said in the company's annual update, PTI quoted. Workforce upskilling has become a key focus area. TCS reported that over 1 lakh of its employees have acquired higher-order AI/ML and GenAI skills. Infosys said over 2.7 lakh of its workforce is now 'AI-aware.' Wipro and Tech Mahindra are witnessing similar reskilling trends as they transition into AI-first firms. Infosys chairman Nandan Nilekani stressed the urgency of adapting legacy systems for AI compatibility. 'Enterprises must now create a data architecture so that all the firm's data is consumable by AI in a holistic manner,' he said. Nilekani also pushed for enterprises to build 'AI foundries and factories' to fuel innovation and scale. Rather than building their own large language models (LLMs) to rival OpenAI or Google, Indian firms are strengthening partnerships with hyperscalers like Microsoft, Google and AWS, as well as chipmakers such as Nvidia. They are establishing innovation hubs—such as TCS's AI Labs and Infosys's AI Foundry—to help clients experiment with and deploy AI in controlled environments. TCS chairman N Chandrasekaran called generative AI 'a civilisational shift' and said the company will create a 'large pool' of AI agents to work alongside humans in what he termed a 'human-AI' delivery model. Wipro, meanwhile, is realigning its Global Business Lines to sharpen its focus on AI-powered, consulting-led client solutions. 'This realignment will allow us to serve our clients better, enabling us to deliver tailored, high-impact transformation,' said Wipro CEO Srini Pallia. While foundational model development remains the domain of global tech giants, Indian IT leaders are betting that their ability to embed AI into the core of enterprise operations — from finance to manufacturing to customer engagement — will create the most durable long-term value.
