Global Leaders’ Dialogue: Technology, Jobs, and Growth

The session brings together leaders in finance, technology, and policy to examine how AI and other frontier technologies will reshape jobs and growth in fintech and insurtech, with India as a central lens. They will discuss whether AI gives India a structural advantage or merely levels the global playing field, and how large‑scale reskilling, entrepreneurship, and digital public infrastructure can convert disruption into opportunity rather than jobless growth.

Building on India’s emerging credit and insurance rails for MSMEs and individuals, the dialogue explores how platforms, financial institutions, and regulators can share value more fairly with smaller enterprises while unlocking new employment and capability centres. The panel will answer one critical question on preventing jobless growth.
