This panel moves beyond headline success stories to examine the real enablers of sustainable FinTech scale. Drawing on operating experience and insights from The Fintech Association for Consumer Empowerment (FACE), speakers discuss how regulatory clarity, trust mechanisms (including KYC/AML, data protection, and grievance redressal), access to capital and talent, and execution support influenced growth outcomes across different markets and stages.

This session introduces BharatNetra Startup Programmes, part of the Integrated Global Financial Technology Capability Hub (I-GFTCH) launched by the Government of Odisha in partnership with GFTN. Designed to accelerate FinTech and InsurTech innovation, the programmes offer cohort-based incubation, mentoring, industry engagement, and global ecosystem access to early-stage founders building market-ready financial solutions.
Anchored in Bhubaneswar, BharatNetra combines startup support with world-class capability building, talent pipelines, and global connectivity to position India’s innovators for scalable growth.

Insurance is fast becoming an intelligence-driven business, where competitive advantage is shaped by how well data, AI, and decision models work together behind the scenes. This panel brings together insurance leaders from India InsurTech Association to unpack what it really takes to build this intelligence layer at scale.

The session will cut through hype to focus on real-world lessons: turning fragmented data into usable insights, operationalising AI across underwriting and claims, and designing decision systems insurers actually trust. Expect practical takeaways on where AI delivers value today, and what it takes to move from pilots to production in modern insurance.
