        Why Odisha?

        Odisha is building a fintech and capability economy on purpose. The state has adopted an AI Policy and a Global Capability Centre Policy, and also collaborated with GFTN to launch a Global FinTech Capability Hub in Bhubaneswar in 2025. Under its BharatNetra initiative, it is training fintech and insurtech talent with NUS-AIDF and inviting companies to build teams in the state.

        For international companies, Odisha is a place to set up a global capability centre, find partners across India and the globe to hire certified talent. For Indian fintechs, it is a quieter room than the metros to meet global investors.

        Why Black Swan Summit?

        The Black Swan Summit is GFTN's global foresight platform on how disruption can build more resilient economies and more inclusive societies. Each edition brings together leaders from government, industry and academia to examine how emerging technologies, from AI and quantum to distributed ledger technology and green infrastructure, are changing industries and growth.

        The India edition applies that lens to India's next leap: global capital for its fintechs, talent for an AI-driven financial sector, and world markets for its small businesses.
