    Nitin Rao , CEO, InCred Wealth

  • India has a diverse financial sector that is rapidly expanding, both in terms of established financial services firms' robust growth and new entrants into the market. Commercial banks, insurance firms, non-banking financial companies, co-operatives, pension funds, mutual funds, and other smaller financial institutions make-up the sector. New businesses, such as payment banks, have lately been allowed to be established by the banking regulator, expanding the types of entities that operate in the industry. However, India's financial sector is primarily a banking sector, with commercial banks accounting for more than 64 percent of the financial system's total assets. Nitin Rao, the CEO of InCred Wealth, places a high value on his engineering education and subsequent work on the shop floor at Bharat Forge because it shaped him into a process oriented individual with a structured approach to work, which has served as the foundation for all his work throughout his life.
