Meet the impressive line-up of speakers for the Indian Fintech scene at TechSparks 2022

Fintech in India has entered a new era with the highest adoption rates globally. Home to 6,636+ fintech startups and over 25 unicorns, the sector is expected to reach $1 trillion in throughput and $200 billion in revenue by 2030.

This growth is underpinned by a number of factors, including nurturing initiatives by the government and concerned regulators, a supportive funding environment, massive demographic opportunities, access to technology and talent for the entrepreneurs building for the new India.

However, the narrative also contains some concerns.

Nevertheless, the Indian fintech ecosystem has emerged as a formidable global force and continues to grow as one of the largest fintech markets globally.

The latest edition of TechSparks – YourStory’s flagship startup technology event, scheduled between 10 November 2022 and 12 November 2022 at Taj, Yeshwantpur, Bengaluruhas curated a special track dedicated to Indian Fintech.
