Gold Loan Week
Powered by Qualtech
The Future of Gold
Lending Starts Here.
A deep dive into what’s driving the
next decade of Gold Lending.
Overview
Gold loans are rapidly emerging as one of the most resilient and scalable credit products in India’s lending ecosystem. As unsecured credit tightens and customer expectations for speed rise, banks and NBFCs are increasingly relying on gold- backed portfolios to drive sustainable growth.
With aggressive branch expansion, deeper penetration into tier-2 and tier-3 markets, and rising regulatory expectations, gold lending is entering a new phase—high-velocity, tech-led, and risk-first.
Gold Loan Week is a 3-day, virtual-first event series bringing together senior BFSI leaders, practitioners, and technology experts to discuss how gold lending is being reimagined across scale, operations, valuation, and control.
Discussion Points
The evolving role of Gold loan as a core growth engine for Banks and NBFCs
How leading institutions are scaling gold lending while maintaining strong operational control
The role of technology in reducing turnaround time and improving risk visibility
Branch expansion strategies and the shift toward branch-light operating models
Gold valuation is the next critical frontier for innovation and standardisation
