The company's moat is derived from its association with the Hinduja Group, providing superior access to capital, regulatory expertise, and a pre-established customer base in the vehicle finance sector via HLFL.

Legal Contingencies
The company reported no pending applications or proceedings under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, 2016 during the financial year.

Concentrated in India, specifically the Mumbai region for its corporate and real estate operations.
Third Party Dependencies
High dependency on regulatory authorities (RBI, NCLT, SEBI) for the execution of its primary growth strategy.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
The company must invest in digital lending infrastructure to remain competitive against fintech-led NBFCs post-merger.
