How do NBFCs approve loans with zero current income?

Can you fund a world-class higher education without draining your parents' retirement funds or destroying your own financial future? On this episode of Paisa Vaisa, host Anupam Gupta is joined by Vivek Baranwal, CBO, Education Loan - Domestic Business at Avanse Financial Services.

Together, they break down the structural shift in how student loans are evaluated in India today.

Vivek also shares invaluable data on using micro-loans for short-term upskilling in AI and Data Science to combat India's 45% unemployability rate, and how international campuses in Gift City are changing the game. Whether you are a parent planning ahead or a young professional looking to upgrade your skills, plug in your earphones for a highly pragmatic take on balancing career dreams with financial reality.

Tune in for an engaging discussion on creativity, careers, business, and the evolving world of entertainment.
