ABSTRACT
Purpose: This paper is about the organizational analysis of Mahindra and Mahindra
Financial Services Ltd [MMFSL]. There are investment products with moderate returns and
relatively minimal risk. Numerous public sector banks, private sector banks, non-banking
financial companies, and other financial organizations provide these investing facilities. From
the perspective of investors, this research offers a variety of details about Mahindra and
Mahindra's financial services portfolio, the many goods and services they offer, as well as the
steps a consumer must take.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Companies that provide financial services set their goals,
which may include things like customer satisfaction, market expansion, revenue growth, risk
management, and regulatory compliance. To enable effective collaboration, decision-making,
and accountability, a clear organizational structure is built. This entails evaluating consumer
demand, researching the competition, and seeing chances for product innovation or difference.
Findings/Result: Over the years, MMFSL's loan book and profitability have increased
gradually. The company's financial success is influenced by several variables, such as interest
rates, the general state of the economy, and the demand for automobiles and equipment. To
lower risk and boost revenue streams, MMFSL has been seeking to diversify its business
beyond car finance. They have grown to finance more asset classes like commercial vehicles,
used cars, and construction equipment. To improve the convenience and accessibility of loan
applications, approvals, and repayments, they have launched a few digital platforms and
initiatives.
Originality/Value: It primarily focuses on learning about organizations in-depth, including
the responsibilities of the organization and competency mapping, to understand how well the
firm is working and to examine its current competitors. The proposed work determines the
company's liquidity condition. The SWOT analysis framework is used for evaluating the
company's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
Paper Type: Case Study.
Keywords: Organization Study, Mahindra and Mahindra Financial, Private sector banks,

vehicles. The vast network and reach of Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services in rural and semi-
urban areas is one of its primary assets. The company has created specialized financial products and

(Prasad, K. K. et al. (2016). [4]). Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services benefits from the parent
company's high brand recognition and wide-ranging network as a Mahindra Group affiliate. With this
competitive edge, they may reach a large consumer base, take advantage of cross-selling opportunities,
and develop enduring connections with clients [5-7].

Performance (Gupta, B. et al. (2017). [9]):


Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services has a track record of impressive financial performance. The
business has continuously reported increases in the major financial metrics of revenue, profitability,
and asset base. Over the years, its revenue has grown consistently. Increased loan disbursements, an
expansion of their product line, and a growing customer base are just a few examples of the causes that
have contributed to this success. The business has a history of consistent, strong profitability. Effective
risk assessment and management, cost control, and revenue diversification are all factors that contribute
to the profitability of the company. The asset base and lending portfolio of Their Services have both
grown significantly. This development is the consequence of diversifying its lending offerings,
concentrating on financing automobiles, and increasing its presence in semi-urban and rural areas. By
implementing strong risk management procedures and credit underwriting requirements, the company
has kept its focus on controlling its asset quality. As a result, non-performing assets have been reduced
and a strong loan book has been maintained. Their efforts to reach underrepresented markets and
advance financial inclusion have been fruitful. They can access a big consumer base and fuel growth
because to their robust distribution network, which is concentrated in rural and semi-urban areas. In this

4. METHODOLOGY :
Period of Study: Three financial years' worth of data are used in the analysis. The three academic years
run from 2018–2019 through 2020–21. Descriptive research aims to determine, characterize, or identify
what is, whereas analytical research aims to determine why something is the way it is or how it came
to be. For the study's purposes, secondary data was gathered (Sathyan, S. et al. (2021). [21]). The tools
for Data Collection are Leverage ratios, liquidity ratios, turnover ratios, and profitability ratios
Comparative Financial Statements Comparative balance sheets, comparative income statements, trend
percentages, and common size financial statements [22-23]. For data analysis the following is the
financial performance analysis calculator's tool. It uses statistical methods to analyse the gathered
statistical data.
▪ Comparative balance sheet
▪ Ratio analysis
▪ Trend analysis.
5. CURRENT STATUS & NEW RELATED ISSUES :
The current analysis spans a five-year period from 2016–2017 to 2020–2021.The practice of assessing
firms, projects, budgets, and other financial-related transactions to ascertain their efficacy and
suitability is known as financial analysis. Financial analysis is frequently used to determine whether a
company is solid, financially sound, liquid, or sufficiently profitable to justify a financial investment
(Kumar, H. M. et al. (2021). [24]). By examining a company's financial documents, such as the balance
sheet and income statement, ratio analysis is a quantitative technique for gaining insight into its
liquidity, operational effectiveness, and profitability. A crucial component of fundamental equity
analysis is ratio analysis. The merits and cons of the ratios, as well as their ratio data for Mahindra and
Mahindra's financials, have been examined in the research [25-28]. Using liquid ratio analysis as a
method, the study examined the balance sheet (Aithal, P. S. et al. (2017). [29]). The study may be taken
into consideration as a supplemental component when deciding how well the business is performing
financially (Aithal, P. S. et al. (2017). [30]).

5. 2021 52933.57 54009.52 0.98
Source: Mahindra and Mahindra Financial Services Ltd (MMFSL) press release

Interpretation
The liquid ratio's performance is shown in the table above. The ratio was 0.94 in 2017, increased to
1.00 in 2017, 1.01 in 2019, and then declined to 0.97 in 2020 and 0.98 in 2021, demonstrating a
decreasing and increasing trend in their performance. According to the current ratio, growth peaked in
2018 at 1.00 and peaked at 0.94 in 2019.
6. IDEAL SOLUTION, DESIRED STATUS & IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRED :
MMFSL might concentrate on growing its market presence by focusing on new consumer
demographics and geographic regions. This can entail expanding into semi-urban and rural areas, where
there is latent demand for financial services (Aithal, P. S. (2017). [31]). Investigating joint ventures or
collaborations with regional organizations can aid in gaining a firmer footing there. MMFSL is
renowned for its technology innovations, utilizing digital platforms, data analytics, and automation to
boost operational efficiency, improve risk management, and offer seamless digital experiences for
clients (Aithal, P. S. (2017). [32]). To ensure a competent and motivated staff capable of fostering
innovation, adaptability, and operational excellence, it invests in talent development programs,
including training and skill enhancement projects (Vinayachandra, K. et al. (2019). [33]).

(IJCSBE), ISSN: 2581-6942, Vol. 7, No. 4, December 2023 PUBLICATION
7. RESEARCH GAP :
Research on efficient risk management techniques and strategies is required to ensure financial stability
given the growing complexity and interconnection of financial systems. Risk assessment and mitigation,
systemic risk analysis, stress testing, and the function of rules in preserving financial stability are a few
such topics (Vikranth, K. et al. (2022). [34]). This research identifies the overall financial performance
over the previous five years. Should understand the corporate ethics of the organization as it relates to
financial and investing activity. Utilizing the turnover ratio and liquidity, current liabilities are used to
assess the firm's liquidity and activity positions [35-37].
8. RESEARCH AGENDAS BASED ON RESEARCH GAP :
One of the most fundamental business facts is that an organization's financial structure is influenced by
the examination of its financial performance (Aithal, P. S. (2015). [38]). For a firm to be steady in our
rapidly expanding society and to analyse financial performance (Aithal, P. S. et al. (2016). [39]).
Therefore, it is necessary to assess how effectively the Mahindra and Mahindra Company operates. And
assess how well they performed in their activity. This facilitates financial decision-making. In light of
the aforementioned viewpoint, research was done on Mahindra and Mahindra's financial performance
(Prasad, K. K. (2016). [40]).
9. ANALYSIS OF RESEARCH AGENDAS :
9.1 Current Ratio: current asset /current Liabilities.
Table 3: Current Ratio
Particulars 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21
Current assets 137.1 131.93 108.48
Current liabilities 549.53 487.47 510.61
Current ratio 0.25 0.27 0.21

The current liability has decreased in 2020–2021 compared to previous years, resulting in a current ratio
of 0.21. And in the 2018–19 fiscal year, the current ratio was high (0.25), indicating that current
liabilities exceeded current assets.

9.2 Quick Ratio = (current assets – inventories) / (Current liabilities – bank overdraft):
Table 4: Quick Ratio
Particulars 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21
Current assets 137.1 131.93 108.48
Current liabilities 549.53 487.47 510.61
Current ratio 0.25 0.27 0.21

For this ratio, the conventional wisdom has been 1:1. The table above shows the fast ratio for the years
2019 to 21. The study took into consideration inventories and bank overdrafts, so they will only be
looking at current assets and liabilities, which shows the same ratio as above.

9.3 Working capital turnover ratio = Sales / Working capital:


Where, Working capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities.
Table 5: Working capital turnover ratio
Particulars 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21
sales 1,364.83 1,205.78 829.11
Working capital 6047.57 5836.66 5634.59
W.C.T. O. ratio 0.23 0.21 0.15

The business was under the 2:1 ratio. The working capital turnover ratio for the years 2019 to 21 is
displayed in the table above. In the case of a working capital turnover ratio, the study will analyse the
sales and working capital ratio. The working capital was relatively high in the years 18 to 19 and sharply
decreased in the years 2020-21.

Equity 95.71 95.29 84.02
Debt-equity ratio 54.47 53.19 58.45

The debt-to-equity ratio from 2019 to 21 is depicted in the above chart. The table shows that in the
2019–20 fiscal year, the debt-equity was low, indicating that the debt was higher than in previous fiscal
years.

9.6 Operating Margin: Operating Income / Net Sales:

No. of Ordinary shares 9.69 9.52 8.41
EPS 22.14 18.59 15.80

About the earnings per share are shown in the above table. In the years 2018–19 and 2020–21, the
earnings to the shareholders were high at 44.53 and low at 15.80, declining each year from 22.14 to that
point. The share price of the corporation was at 214.52 when the EPS was 22.14 then it dropped to
15.80, but it is now at 132.88. The company's net value would have climbed even more if it had made
more money.

10. FINAL RESEARCH PROPOSAL/PROBLEM IN CHOSEN TOPIC :


The difficulty is that while analysing the financial performance of the company, the balance sheet only
displays a generalized image of all financial data, making it impossible to draw any conclusions from
it.
11. SWOT ANALYSIS :
11.1 Strengths:
1. Strong Market Position: A reputable and long-standing corporation in India, the Mahindra Group
includes MMFSL. This affiliation gives MMFSL a significant market presence and name
recognition, which aids in fostering consumer confidence and luring clients (Rajeshwari, M. et
al. (2019). [41]).
2. Extensive Rural Network: MMFSL can access underserved rural and semi-urban regions thanks
to the development of a strong rural network and distribution system. With the help of this
network, MMFSL is better able to connect with clients in these regions and comprehend their
financing requirements.
3. Diversified Product Portfolio: Financial services and goods offered by MMFSL include the
distribution of mutual funds, insurance, and financing for cars, homes, and other items. This
portfolio of diversified products aids in risk mitigation and opportunity exploitation across many
industries (Sneh, M. S. et al. (2018). [42]).
4. Technological Advancements: Utilizing technology to improve operational effectiveness and
customer experience, MMFSL has embraced digital transformation projects. Customers may
easily access services and streamline procedures thanks to the company's digital platforms and
mobile applications.

11.2 Weaknesses:
1. Dependence on Mahindra Group: Being a member of the Mahindra Group has benefits, but
MMFSL's close reliance on the group's goods and services may be viewed as a drawback.
MMFSL's business operations and growth potential may be affected by any unfavorable
developments inside the Mahindra Group (Vinayachandra. et al. (2019). [43]).

2. Exposure to Market Risks: Being an NBFC exposes MMFSL to market risks such interest rate
swings, credit risk, and regulatory changes. The profitability and financial security of the
company may be affected by these threats (Rajeshwari, M. (2020). [44]).

11.3 Opportunities:
1. Rural and Semi-Urban Market Growth: India's rural and semi-urban markets have considerable
growth prospects. Due to its extensive rural network, MMFSL is ideally positioned to take
advantage of the rising demand for financial services in these areas (Kumar, S. et al. (2020).
[45]).
2. Digital Transformation: The customer experience at MMFSL can be further improved,
operational efficiency can be raised, and the company's client base can be expanded with
continued investment in technology and digital projects (Prabhu, S. et al. (2019). [46]).
3. Product Innovation: With continuing investment in technology and digital projects, MMFSL
can enhance the customer experience even more, increase operational effectiveness, and
increase the company's clientele.

11.4 Threats:
1. Intense Competition: With numerous established businesses and recent entries, the financial
services industry in India is extremely competitive. Both conventional banks and NBFCs
compete with MMFSL, which may influence its market share and profitability.
2. Economic Volatility: Economic ups and downs can have a negative effect on the financial
services sector. Changes in borrowing patterns, default rates on loans, and the total demand for
financial products can all be impacted by changes in interest rates, inflation, or unemployment
rates [47-48].
3. Regulatory Environment: In India, the NBFC industry is governed by strict regulatory
standards. Regulations, compliance criteria, or license standards that change could make
MMFSL's activities more difficult.
12. SUGGESTIONS TO IMPLEMENT RESEARCH ACTIVITIES ACCORDING TO THE
PROPOSAL :
(1) Since the liquidity ratios are below their desired level, more current assets must be held to cover
short-term liabilities.
(2) The profitability ratios are rising, but to raise profits, they must also raise turnover.
(3) Although the Activity Ratio is now performing well, it must raise turnover and profit to continue
performing well.
13. CONCLUSIONS :
With the aid of Mahindra and Mahindra's three-year financial statements, this study was studied. Data
was gathered about the company, and financial performance was examined using an analytical research
design. The study's findings indicated that corporate efficiency is generally high. They should cut back
on spending and cash outflow to support future growth. Then, they will improve their revenue and
profit, which will aid in improving the business's financial performance. Financial activity execution is
the process of doing financial activities. The extent to which financial goals are being or have been
attained is referred to as financial performance in a broader sense. It is the process of figuring out how
much money a firm's operations and policies have produced in terms of results. It is used to evaluate a
company's overall financial health over a specific period and can also be used to compare similar
businesses in the same sector or to aggregate markets. If accounting biases remain mostly constant
throughout time, meaningful conclusions can be drawn from patterns in raw data and financial
measures. Comparing different firms within the same industry can be useful because the biases that
define them are comparable. Experience would seem to suggest that financial analysis "works" when
accounting biases are acknowledged and taken into consideration. As a result, the focus of this study is
Mahindra Finance's financial performance, and one of its main goals is to examine money flow
primarily using ratio analysis.
