Mint BFSI Summit and Awards: The banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) industry in India is the backbone of the country’s monetary, industrial and economic ecosystems. The arrival of fintech organisations across this grouping has shaken things up, given the fintechs’ digital-native nature, and their speed of execution.India can arguably be said to be one of the world leaders in fintech, with thousands of fintech players permeating the BFSI industry.
They have proliferated all aspects of BFSI, from lending to insurance to mutual funds, and that too with innovative, cost-effective practices, products and business models. Consumers, too, have taken to fintech warmly, using their products and services across platforms and segments, especially in payments and borrowing.
