One to watch out for The Motilal Oswal Group has been looking to divest its stake in MOHFL and has roped in Avendus Capital to explore options, media reports said. The company has denied the allegations categorically. This is not yet confirmed and is to be treated as a market rumor and not a fact.

Technology and Governance MOHFL has made significant investments in digital infrastructure.

This includes mobile platforms for its sales, credit and collections departments, and paperless application processes. These tools help them to better serve clients who have little or no official documentation, a huge barrier to the affordable housing market. It works within the broader corporate governance and risk management framework of the Motilal Oswal Group.
