Aye Finance is a new age finance company headquartered in Gurugram, providing business loans to the micro-enterprises across MSME sector in India. Founded by professional bankers Sanjay Sharma and Vikram Jetley in 2014, Aye Finance continues to chart an exciting growth path in this under banked segment while maintaining a high benchmark for credit quality. As a Non-Banking Financial Company, Aye Finance has innovated on deriving lending insights from alternate data from its markets and deploys low cost mobility and cloud-based technologies to reach out to India’s thriving and underserved micro businesses. Aye Finance believes that for today’s employees, the priority is to know about the culture, the opportunities for upward mobility, and the contribution to social goals that arise from their work. To create transparency in the organization and to make its culture palpable, Aye communicates through multiple channels including blue boards at each branch, posters, WhatsApp, email, Townhalls for all branches and HRMS. Their communication strategy is pushing as well as pull. Their communication is translated into all the languages their people speak. Their training is done in local languages and people are asked to ask questions in their language. Their documents are also translated into multiple languages. When COVID-19 struck and everyone was forced to go under home isolation, the need to stay connected was felt like never before. This led to the birth of ‘Aye Radio’, their own in-house medium to effectively reach all Ayetians, and was launched in the month of April 2020. This is a very easy to use platform where employees don’t need to download any application and yet can also listen to old episodes anytime, anywhere on any device. The radio provided the edge to share all possible information with a blend of entertainment to all Ayetians.
Some of the Best People Practices and Initiatives at Aye Finance P Limited include -
Khulke Bolo:
Under this initiative, employees are encouraged to speak up openly, share feedback and concerns if any. The CEO's office door is always open to anyone and the branch Leadership spends more time on the floor with the team than in the office. During monthly Branch visits, where 80% of our employees are stationed, leaders make sure they take them out for an informal lunch / dinner where the branch staff is more at ease to speak without hesitation. Someone from the leadership is on branch visit every single day. This ensures that the branch staff gets an opportunity to personally meet the leaders at multiple times in a year.
Aye Academy:
Aye Academy is a company-specific training and development institute. It can be considered as a "central educational hub". It is a strategic instrument for the organization to train employees. Its primary purpose is to make a translation of the strategy of the organization to training initiatives relevant for the employees and the company. Moreover, it focuses on taking the development initiatives to the bottom of the pyramid section of Aye employees. Aye Academy has helped employees in inculcating a learning culture which in turn would help them focus on self-development & self-learning.
