Key Findings & Highlights:
Conneqt started its M&L BPS services business in 2007 delivering collection services to Tata Motor Finance. Over time that engagement has expanded to include a broad range of BPS services in collections, servicing, and origination support.
From 2007 to 2017, Conneqt’s M&L BPS services business was focused on delivering in-person collections across Indian markets. Indian regulations enable lenders to reach out to customers via electronic means, typically a phone, but require them to follow up in person to collect monies or application documents. Conneqt developed a network of ~600 centers across India with in-person customer contact representatives. Conneqt differentiates itself from other collection agencies by having a nationwide network of in-person agents.
Conneqt expanded into collecting monies for international lenders in January 2015, by establishing relationships with Middle Eastern Banks who had lent money to Indian nationals working in their home countries. The business initially relied on a third-party distribution model to develop sales. Today, Conneqt uses a direct sales model in the Middle East and has a single large client.
In November 2017, Quess Corp., a Canada based BPS vendor, acquired 51% of Conneqt. Tata and Sons retain a 49% stake in Conneqt. Quess’ investment in Conneqt is intended to enable Conneqt to expand into new markets and enhance its digital delivery capabilities.
