The 3-day whirlwind of the 5th edition of Global Fintech Fest had its 80,000+ attendees bring the house down! As the voices of over 800 speakers across 300 sessions from every org shifting the fintech paradigm echoed around the premises, Fi Money had a tremendous exodus on the global stage. This is our GFF Wrapped: things we were privy to as the 3-day extravaganza, organized by the Payments Council of India, the National Payments Corporation Of India (NPCI) and the Fintech Convergence Council, unfolded, as seen from the eyes of the Fi delegation. The fintech fest might’ve drawn to a close, but our drive, our renewed passions, and the future-prepping from the takeaways are headed to the afters. Starting from day 1, our founders hosted the trend-setters and go-getters of the financial industry, including co-founders and CXOs for collaborators, in a star-spangled event that also had Prime Minister Narendra Modi grace the stage and talk about his vision for India’s digital revolution. Sujith Narayanan’s panel, on the imminence and future of digital banks, saw speakers Vinay Bagri, Anuj Kacker, Anand Kumar Bajaj and Manish Agarwal shed light on what they see in the peering glass, looking into the future. Insights rained, opinions were shared, and strategies were plotted out. We also had the privilege to gather views from regulators like the Chief General Manager of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Shri. Vaibhav Chaturvedi who shared key opportunities and trade off gaps that come with pace and innovation. This was during a panel discussion Sumit Gwalani hosted, on Building Trust and Ensuring Consumer Protection in Digital Lending, an emerging space in India. The multitude of views on approach by panelists Harshvardhan Lunia and Vibhav Hathi is proof that for every problem, there’s a whole bunch of solutions pre-concocted and ready to go! The weather forecast is new developments with a chance of moonshot-promising skies. So grab a surfboard and prep yourself for the incoming wave, brought forth by the communion of technology and finance!

Money comes in more avatars than all the Wolverines across all the multiverses. It’s somebody’s cry-to-sleep snuggle buddy, someone else’s point of pride, this one person’s emotional support animal, and another’s favourite topic to rant about. Housed at the epicenter of FinTech, we know all too well about money relationships – from the situationships to the LOML type ones. As we try to better everybody’s relationship with money, we asked our folks in the office what the ‘babu’, ‘shona’, ‘baby’, and ‘teddy bear’ of the money world was, for a series we’re calling #noteworthy (get it? ‘note’ worthy???  💸💸💸?!?!?) Anyway, here’s a list of our favourites. Fi'an appearances in order: Sarun, Kushal, Aditya, & Anupama 🤑

As the sporting event of the season heats up in Paris, Fi had its very own competition that would go toe to toe with it, with a whole wide range of ONE category - an AI hackathon!🤖 Out of this competitive chaos came out ready-to-launch, AI-powered features built up from scratch that have the potential to add immense velocity to Fi’s moonshot 🪩✨ Stunning talents outshone the super shiny ₹1,00,000 cheque that was addressed to katana enthusiasts from the winning Samur.A.I. team: Auro, Kanishk, Aditya, Sainath, Obed, & Kushal. Congratulations to them and to the betters amongst us who had them pegged to win. While the main quest kept our contestants running on all cylinders, we had *checks list* a coffee brewing workshop, new merch, a pizza party, and oh… a super insightful conversation into how AI is shaping up to form the new world with the director of Google DeepMind, Dr. Manish Gupta. Folks from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Faisal, Ajeet, & Dipta collaborated as enablers par excellence and got their hands grimy as they helped get our best work out there. If we had our voices left after cheering for our favourite teams, we’d muster a bigger shoutout📢 Props to literally every person in this video making Fi’s AI Hackathon a reality. Onto the heart podiums you go!🏁💚
