Sahil Lakshmanan, Chief Business Officer, CarePal Money:

“With inflation at 3.16% in April 2025 and the repo rate at 6%, the upcoming RBI MPC meeting holds significant potential to shape India’s economic trajectory. We expect the committee to maintain its accommodative stance, possibly signaling further rate cuts to bolster growth while keeping inflation in check. A sustained low-rate environment would significantly benefit the healthcare financing sector by reducing borrowing costs, enabling us to offer more affordable loans to individuals and small businesses facing medical expenses. This could drive increased demand for our tailored financing solutions, empowering more customers to access critical healthcare services. CarePal Money is poised to capitalize on these policy dynamics, reinforcing our commitment to delivering innovative and accessible financing options to meet the unique needs of the healthcare ecosystem.”

Govind Sankaranarayanan, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, Ecofy

“With the RBI’s recent annual report reinforcing a growth-supportive monetary stance and signaling confidence in moderating inflation, we remain optimistic about further policy easing in the upcoming MPC meeting. For climate-focused NBFCs like Ecofy, continued accommodative policy, coupled with RBI’s commitment to ensure adequate liquidity for productive sectors, can significantly enhance access to affordable capital for green assets. As global headwinds persist, it’s encouraging to see a calibrated approach that balances growth with prudence. We hope this also opens avenues for targeted green finance initiatives that can accelerate India’s transition towards a low-carbon economy.”
