Tell us about DMI Housing Finance. Delineate its approach to client management and products & services delivery.
As a company, DMI Housing Finance is missioned to provide housing for all, offering various home products. Home loan options include construction, purchase, plot purchase, topup loans and extension loans, all streamlined through our advanced digital platforms. Being at the forefront of the adoption of digitization and automation, we are one of the few HFCs that have developed its LOS (Loan Origination System) and LMS (Loan Management Systems) in-house. This approach has significantly decreased loan sanction time and increased customer ease. Our customers are the heart of our business - we strive to make housing affordable for all – and we cater extensively to first-time homebuyers. Today we operate with an average ticket size of 15 lakhs.
Describe DMI Housing Finance's emphasis on work culture.
DMI Housing Finance uses digitization and automation to empower employees and encourage an open-door policy of direct communication with senior management, aligning everyone to a shared vision. DMI has been an employer of choice in the housing finance industry. We always stand with our teams, especially during tough times like COVID-19. Even in a young company such as ours, we have more than 50+ employees working with us for over 5 years; it speaks loudly of our work culture.
Creating a positive work culture is a top priority. The company achieves this by organizing team offsites and implementing various reward and recognition programs. Additionally, the leadership team regularly visits branches to motivate employees. The company's cautious risk strategy, supported by digital analytics and automation, has resulted in a healthier portfolio, which has helped reduce the burden of non-performing assets (NPAs). This has also motivated the field teams to focus more on quality and efficiency.
