Reshaping India's Digital Finance Economy: Employment, Sector Transformation & GDP Growth

About the Summit

Held under the theme Reshaping India's Digital Finance Economy: Employment, Sector Transformation & GDP Growth, the Summit is organised by the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) as a part of the BharatNetra Initiative of the Government of Odisha.

The Summit is designed to align seamlessly with the nation's development priorities through BharatNetra, a statewide initiative to build and showcase Odisha’s digital and FinTech talent infrastructure, strengthen job readiness, and position the state as a competitive hub for innovation led and inclusive growth.

The Black Swan Summit India is anchored in catalysing three key pillars for India’s digital finance economy: Delivering Skilling and Employment; Accelerating Sector Transformation; and the Next-Gen Global Capability Centre for Regulated Financial Sector.

Delivering Skilling and Employment: The track will identify concrete pathways for how India can turn the present moment of frontier tech disruption into millions of new jobs.  

Accelerating Sector Transformation: The track will align market and regulatory perspectives on how to accelerate financial health and inclusion through leadership in FinTech and InsurTech.

The Next-Gen Global Capability Centre for Regulated Financial Sector: The track will highlight the next-generation Global Capability Centre hub for regulated finance, powering the next phase of USD 1 trillion FinTech expansion that is being pioneered in Odisha.

From Philosophy to Practice: India’s Moment of Transformation

India is at a turning point. A young population, strong digital systems, and growing access to finance are reshaping what inclusion means.

Here, the Black Swan philosophy comes to life.
Humanity gives purpose. Machines create scale. Money fuels opportunity.

In India, this balance is visible everywhere,  from digital public infrastructure to fintech innovation and youth-led entrepreneurship.
The Black Swan Summit India 2026 explores how these forces can move beyond access to create lasting, shared prosperity.

Summit Overview
