"India has done all the ground work over the last 15 to 20 years in terms of setting up digital public infrastructure and democratising banking. Last mile connectivity is largely ensured, millions of hitherto unbanked people have bank accounts, basic banking services and DBT payments are seamlessly facilitated. True financial inclusion will be when customer engages with a wide range of offerings like insurance, credit and investment", Rishi Gupta, MD & CEO, Fino Payments Bank Ltd at the Global Fintech Fest'25 panel discussion on 'Bridging the Digital Divide: Ensuring Innovation Reaches the Unconnected' , 8th October, Jio World Convention Centre

Siddarth Pai (Partner) breaks down why fintech funding is moving away from lending-focused models and towards infrastructure, wealth, and asset management plays. He points out that credit-led fintechs once raised large sums, often using equity as a substitute for liabilities. But with profitability challenges, regulatory tightening, and incumbents catching up on tech, that model is no longer sustainable. He also underscores the logic behind Indian fintechs shifting their domicile back home: greater regulatory comfort, easier IPO access, and stronger alignment with Indian investors and markets.
