Bengaluru, July 13, 2026: As India accelerates towards becoming a developed economy by 2047, Fintech Fusion India (FFI) 2026 is set to return on July 23, 2026, bringing together the country’s most influential voices from government, financial institutions, regulators, investors and the fintech ecosystem to discuss the future of India’s financial architecture.
Hosted at The Lalit Ashok, Bengaluru, the one-day summit will revolve around the theme “Building India’s Financial Architecture for 2047”, focusing on the technologies, policies and partnerships that will define the next generation of digital finance.
The summit will feature an impressive lineup of speakers, including Shri Kamlesh Chandra Varshney, Whole Time Member, SEBI; Shri R. Gandhi, Former Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India; Debajyoti Ray Chaudhuri, MD & Director, National E-Governance Services Ltd (NeSL); Rajiv Gupta, President, PB Fintech; Kalpana Ajayan, Regional Head – South Asia, Women’s World Banking; Tanya Naik, Head – Online & Omnichannel, Pine Labs; Anurag Saxena, VP Asia & Regional Office Head, Accion; and several senior leaders from UIDAI, GIFT City, IFSCA, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank, India Blockchain Forum and Emerging Payments Association of Asia.
Unlike conventional industry conferences, FFI 2026 follows a “Boardroom, Not Ballroom” approach, prioritising strategic discussions and meaningful collaboration over large-scale networking. The event will include CXO Roundtables, VC Office Hours, an Innovation Zone, Startup Clinic, Investor Lounge and a dedicated Pitcher & Pitches platform for emerging fintech startups.
The conferen
ce agenda reflects the evolving priorities of India’s financial ecosystem. Discussions will focus on AI-powered lending, digital public infrastructure (DPI), agentic AI, tokenisation, cross-border payment ecosystems, Finternet, MSME financing, and the role of fintech in expanding financial inclusion while strengthening regulatory frameworks.
A central theme of the summit will be exploring how India can build globally scalable financial infrastructure while ensuring innovation remains secure, inclusive and compliant. Industry leaders are expected to deliberate on critical questions surrounding ownership of digital financial rails, responsible deployment of artificial intelligence, tokenised financial assets and the future of capital formation.
Speaking about the vision behind the summit, Suman Bhowmick, Co-Founder and CEO of Idea Simplified, said that although 2047 may appear distant, the decisions shaping India’s future financial ecosystem are being made today.
“2047 sounds distant, but the financial architecture India will run on then is being decided in rooms like this one, now. FFI 2026 exists to make sure the people writing policy, building products and deploying capital are making those decisions together, not in parallel.”
With India emerging as one of the world’s fastest-growing fintech markets, FFI 2026 aims to create a collaborative platform where policymakers, innovators, financial institutions and investors can collectively shape the country’s digital finance roadmap. The summit is expected to reinforce Bengaluru’s position as a global fintech innovation hub while contributing to India’s long-term vision of becoming a digitally empowered financial powerhouse by 2047.
