Diversification in Mortgages – A Lesson from the Ground. Working closely on the ground has taught me that no single product or segment stays consistent forever. Markets shift, customer needs evolve, and cycles turn. But a well diversified mortgage portfolio across geographies, income profiles and loan types creates both stability and opportunity for growth. When LAP slows down, affordable housing can hold firm. When metro demand softens, semi urban or rural markets often step up, and vice versa Diversification is not just risk management, it’s about building a growth mindset and staying future ready.
