The theme of the Finance summit is “Strategic Choices for Financial Services Companies in the Digital Age Protectionism”. This will revolve around the idea of financial inclusion in a holistic sense and the role of payment banks and small finance banks in ensuring the same. The summit would also focus on how the Fin-tech and investment-tech start-ups are changing the face of the financial services industry in the country. The immense opportunities that Blockchain offers along with its implementation and challenges is surely going to be another interesting talking point.
