Let’s create new ways for business to do business.

Sofitel BKC, Mumbai

Overview

India’s banks are transforming. They are investing heavily in digital technologies to catch up with the leading global competitors offering wide-ranging and sophisticated services. At the same time, current innovations, such as the adoption of CBDC or the growing need for personalised experiences to the customers, are creating a rapidly growing digital citizenry. According to reports, the future of banking is based on three key focus areas: Sustainability, CBDCs and hyper-personalisation. While each of these come with different opportunities and obstacles, sustained efforts towards achieving these are a must. This will not just add to India’s banking prowess on the global map, but also help institutions better serve the needs of their customers.

  • As more and more consumers and investors demand that financial institutions take into account environmental and social factors in their decision-making, sustainable finance will take deep prominence.
  • Hyper-personalization through data is also expected to become increasingly important. To gain insights into customer behaviour, preferences, and financial needs, and then using this information to offer customized products and services will lead to improved customer experiences.
  • The pace and extent of CBDC adoption will depend on many factors, including regulatory frameworks, technological infrastructure and consumer adoption. But with potential benefits like increased efficiency, lower costs, and enhanced financial inclusion outweighing the risks, CBDC is expected to gain traction in 2023

Join the session for a thought-provoking discussion on how the Indian banking world is set to tread further and is set to lead the global economy with data, digital currency, and ESG imperatives at its core.
