Key Findings & Highlights:
Tata Business Support Services Limited (Tata BSS) entered the lending BPS business in 2007 with a contract with Tata Motor Finance to deliver collection services. Since then, the relationship has grown in scale and other banks have been added as clients.
Indian regulations enable lenders to reach out to customers via electronic means, typically phone, but require them to follow up in person to collect monies or application documents. Tata BSS (as a captive arm of Tata) has local, in-person customer contact representatives from ~600 centers across India. Direct contact collections are very labor intensive, typically requiring 10x the number of representatives for collection servicing than a delivery center requires for the same number of accounts.
In January 2015, Tata BSS started collecting monies for Middle Eastern banks (Gulf Country Club), primarily in Dubai. Since ~70% of the collection customers are Indians who have returned to India, direct collections are required in India. This business was originally envisioned to grow via a third-party channel, developing sales. Today, the existing business continues to operate, but is being restructured to go to market with a direct sales strategy. Tata BSS only collects for the Gulf banks in India.
