These enterprises have undergone a remarkable transformation, evolving from traditional setups into digitally empowered, growth-oriented businesses. At the heart of this shift is a new wave of digital banking solutions tailored to their needs. Platforms like Kotak Mahindra Bank’s Kotak fyn are enabling SMEs to operate with agility, precision, and scale. Offering paperless trade finance, seamless collections and payments, and AI-driven analytics, Kotak fyn is helping SMEs manage working capital and unlock new growth opportunities.
“Karnataka’s entrepreneurs are bold, visionary, and digitally fluent,” says Shekhar Bhandari, President – Small and Medium Enterprises at Kotak Mahindra Bank. “They’re not just keeping up—they’re leading. Our Kotak fyn platform is designed to that ambition, offering universal access across mobile, web, and APIs. It’s intuitive, integrated, and built ‘For Your Needs’.”
This financial empowerment enables SMEs to tap into high-growth sectors and become strategic collaborators in Karnataka’s industrial ecosystem. With over 21.25 lakh ed MSMEs, the state is a powerhouse of entrepreneurial energy—driving innovation, employment, and exports.
Kotak Mahindra Bank is expanding its footprint across key hubs like Bengaluru, Mysuru, and Hubballi-Dharwad, reinforcing its commitment to SME growth.
