Speaking of the stock market, Tanushree Banerjee, Co-Head of Research, explains that Bajaj Finance has grown faster than any other NBFC because it works like a tech company. It uses data, AI, and digital tools to lend smartly, keeping risks low and profits high. Its mix of online and offline lending, new products, and tech platforms keeps it ahead of others.

She adds that Tata Capital, though strong, is still different from Bajaj Finance. After merging with Tata Motors Finance, its profits and asset quality took a hit. Investors should see it as a solid long-term player, not another Bajaj Finance.
