Job Description

Applications are invited for the position of Research Assistant (RA) under the ICSSR Major Research Project titled:

The Role of Alternative Data in Expanding the Credit Access: A Study of Fintech Innovations in India .

This study examines the impact of these fintech-driven innovations on expanding credit to low-income and underserved segments in India. It explores how alternative data is being used to create more inclusive credit-scoring models, thus mitigating the risk for lenders while increasing credit accessibility for individuals and small businesses previously excluded by formal financial systems. The study also highlights the challenges associated with the use of alternative data, including privacy concerns, regulatory constraints, and the potential for data biases. Through a combination of case studies, interviews with industry experts, and an analysis of regulatory frameworks, this research provides a nuanced understanding of the opportunities and limitations of alternative data in transforming India s credit landscape. The findings suggest that while alternative data offers immense potential to democratize credit access, a robust regulatory and ethical framework is essential to ensure responsible usage and protect consumer rights. The study concludes by offering recommendations for policymakers, fintech companies, and financial institutions to optimize the use of alternative data in expanding credit inclusion in India.

Conduct a literature review and support the development of the research framework.

Assist in primary data collection, field surveys, and stakeholder interviews.

Analyze primary and secondary data using econometric tools (e.g., STATA, R, Python).
