India Fintech Forum

The India FinTech Forum is a non-profit initiative that offers a platform for fintech companies to collaborate and voice their opinions on the relevant policy issues. More than 1,000 fintech companies... and over 20,000 individuals who are members of this forum, are dedicated to enhancing the ecosystem to ensure that India leads the global fintech innovation wave. India FinTech Forum also organises India FinTech Awards (IFTA). Every year IFTA celebrates and recognises the best innovations from fintech companies across the world. It is the most prestigious fintech awards in India. Indian fintech firms have unique opportunities with the India Stack (Aadhar, UPI, etc.), which are not available anywhere else in the world. India is on the cusp of a profound shift in the way financial services are accessed by millions of citizens. This shift will be primarily led by innovative fintech startups in collaboration with big banks or large corporations. Government policies and regulations by important institutions like RBI, SEBI, IRDA etc. play a major role in shaping the fintech sector. Several industry associations are present in India like CII, FICCI, ASSOCHAM, SIAM (for automobile manufacturers), COAI (for cellular operators), etc. to voice the opinion of their member companies. Similarly, the India FinTech Forum serves as the unifying platform where the Indian fintech community can present its thoughts and views (in consensus) to the government or policy regulators on important issues relating to the sector. The India FinTech Forum organises meet-ups in several locations and seeks to drive policies that accelerate the growth of fintech in India.
