The Advisor Who Learned the System From the Inside.
For over two decades, Somnath Sarkar worked inside some of India's most prominent financial institutions — approving loans, structuring credit facilities, and watching how financial products were designed and sold to the public. What he observed changed everything. Banks optimise for bank profitability. Borrowers optimise for their life. Nobody was bridging that gap for the individual borrower. SS Finadvisory is that bridge.
Banks Work for Banks.
Someone Has to Work for the Borrower.
Banks are businesses. They design loan products, interest rate structures, and repayment terms to optimise for bank profitability — not borrower outcomes. That's not a criticism. It's simply how financial institutions operate.
But it means the advice a bank gives you about your loan is almost always filtered through the lens of what's best for the bank's balance sheet. After 20 years on the inside, Somnath Sarkar saw exactly how this plays out — and built SS Finadvisory to change it.
Here are three things borrowers experience every day that are not accidental:
-
The rate reset clause that bumps your floating rate slower than the RBI repo rate drops. By design — every month of delay is revenue for the lender.
-
The prepayment process that quietly extends your tenure instead of reducing your EMI — unless you specifically know to ask otherwise.
-
The balance transfer process that seems complicated and expensive. The friction is intentional — it keeps borrowers from switching to a better rate.
"The gap I kept seeing throughout my banking career was this: high-quality financial strategy was reserved for large corporate clients. The salaried professional with a ₹50 lakh home loan, the small business owner with a working capital crunch — they were given products, not advice. SS Finadvisory is my attempt to close that gap."
— Somnath Sarkar, Founder, SS Finadvisory
20 Years Inside.
Now Entirely Outside.
Somnath Sarkar spent over two decades in senior roles across India's most prominent financial institutions — approving loans, analysing borrower risk profiles, and structuring credit facilities for thousands of clients. He understood how lenders think, how loan products are priced, and exactly where the system is designed to work against the borrower. In 2024, he stepped outside — and built SS Finadvisory to use that knowledge for the other side of the table.
