Regular training is a key tool for making sure any entity achieves, maintains & improve overall productivity, more so in retail financial services where day to day interaction with the front line has always been a challenge. Covid pandemic has helped us revisit & challenge all established processes & training methodology is no exception. E-learning tools if designed & deployed correctly can help & aid in the entire journey of training & learning. E-learning has a great future & happy to see this initiative being spear headed by Athena & its founder Mr. Satish Mehta, a veteran & an institution by himself within the retail financial services world. Industry expert designed training module has distinct advantage of being able to target & capture the ‘real’ issues & help make sure of targeted training. I wish Athena e-learn & Mr. Mehta all the very best on their new venture.

“Athena E-learn is a training platform led by Satish Mehta – a pioneer in
Housing Finance & Credit in India and in developing economies . Satish’s
passion for training, deep understanding of housing finance and his ability
to stay ahead of the curve on emerging trends in housing finance sets him
apart from others. In housing finance, the only product patent a lender
has is well trained personnel and quality customer service. For lenders
to stay at the forefront, continuous training is imperative and Athena
e-learn delivers this as a one-stop package. Satish has ensured that the package provides not just the technical skills of credit and lending but also the more important soft skills required to
be a successful Housing Finance practitioner.
Satish in his long career has straddled the fields of Housing Finance,
Credit Bureaus, Retail Financial Services, Training and Development and
this initiative is testimony to the fact that he continues to reinvent
himself and has integrated all his learnings into an easy to access
platform – Athena e-learn”
Learning is a continuous journey and in the world as it unfolds before us, e-learning platforms and digital learning is the way to go. The courses covered by Athena e–learn are extremely topical for the financial industry. The soft skills course, again brings to sharp focus a need to fill a gap I personally believe always needed to be addressed.
Need for training can never be over emphasized in a service sector growing at the CAGR we have seen in the financial service sector and especially the housing finance sector. To remain on top of the wave, having people on the ground with the right skills and job knowledge is critical. A comprehensive induction training followed up with regular refresher courses are critical for better productivity and quality. This is why choosing the right training partner is a very important. I found a perfect partner in Athena e-learn for this role. The sheer experience Mr. Satish Mehta brings to the table, as a person who has a perspective of a credit officer under writing loans, a perspective at a Board level for a Business strategy and the vast experience he has as a trainer himself. His passion for training is the icing on the already well baked cake of content of the training modules. In my opinion, and am being modest, it will be a privilege for anybody to undergo training on these modules, they are complete, detailed, easy to follow and from the best trainer I have known.
