The market is found to be monopolistic in nature with high
degree of concentration at the top, though a slow tendency of increased competition during the post-Andhra Pradesh crisis period is observed. Market share is found to be negatively related to average loan size and positively with number
of active borrowers, indicating social commitments but with no relationship with profitability and sustainability. However, the post-crisis period portrays a departure from their social mission. - Reproduced.  aMicrofinance industry - India  aInternational Journal of Rural Management
