▪ Technological Advancements:
To improve its operations and customer experience, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services has
embraced technology. For the ease and accessibility of its consumers, the organization has
incorporated digital platforms and mobile applications to streamline loan applications, approvals,
and repayments. Through process streamlining, increased efficiency, and competitiveness in the
quickly changing financial services industry, these technology innovations have aided MMFSL.
The following table describes the Review of Financial Services and its outcome.
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]).
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.
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.
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.
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.
The table 10 below shows the various ratios of the Mahindra & Mahindra Company with descriptive
data and analyses. It displays the mean values for all financial ratios presented in the table, on average.
The debt-equity, quick ratio, and interest on coverage ratio show significant fluctuation, whereas the
remaining ratios vary just slightly. The financial ratios before and after the merger are compared using
a t-test in MS-Excel to see if there has been a significant change. Table with a 5% level of significance
analytical summary.
The table shows that at the 5% level of significance, all ratios have t-values that are greater than their
respective p-values.

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]).
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.
