Why BLS E-Services Ltd is buying Atyati Technologies Pvt Ltd

BLSe said the purchase would strengthen its relationships with public and private sector banks and give it immediate access to Atyati's micro-lending platform, opening higher-margin credit distribution. Combining Atyati's 25,900 customer service points with BLSe's 46,000 would create a network of more than 70,000 touchpoints.
