Abstract:	The landscape of doing credit underwriting in India is changing almost every ten years or so, and this shift is moving credit underwriting from art to science. Art here means more of experience and individual judgement of a credit analyst while sanctioning loans. By contrast, science means lesser human involvement and leaving it for machines to decide like scorecards, artificial intelligence, development of APIs, etc. Let us explore some pages from recent history and try to look into the future for understanding the change of Credit buying process in India.
