The summit served as a premier platform for deliberations on the evolving NBFC ecosystem, focusing on technology-led growth, intelligent automation, customer experience transformation, digital trust, compliance readiness, and expanding access to credit across India. The event witnessed participation from senior leaders representing NBFCs, housing finance companies, fintech firms, technology providers, regulatory institutions, and industry bodies.
The day commenced with a welcome address by Dr Ravi Gupta, Founder & CEO, Elets Technomedia and Editor-in-Chief, The Banking & Finance Post Magazine, who highlighted the growing role of NBFCs in expanding credit access, supporting MSMEs, and driving financial inclusion across Bharat. He noted that the future of lending will be shaped by technology, innovation, and collaboration, with Artificial Intelligence emerging as a transformative force across lending, risk assessment, customer engagement, fraud detection, and operational efficiency. Dr Gupta emphasised that the summit serves as a vital platform for bringing together NBFC leaders, policymakers, technology experts, and innovators to explore the immense potential of AI in reshaping India’s lending ecosystem.
The inaugural panel discussion on “The Future of NBFCs in India: Driving Digital Credit, Financial Inclusion & Technology Growth” featured distinguished industry leaders and policymakers who deliberated on the opportunities and challenges shaping the future of India’s NBFC sector.
Pratik Choudhary, Deputy Director, UIDAI, highlighted Aadhaar’s role as a foundational pillar of India’s Digital Public Infrastructure, enabling banking and NBFC services at scale. He noted that by leveraging technology while maintaining regulatory compliance, NBFCs are strengthening last-mile connectivity and significantly advancing financial inclusion across the country.
Dr Saibal Paul, Deputy Director, Sa-Dhan, emphasised that true financial inclusion extends beyond transaction volumes and requires a deeper understanding of who is being served. He underscored the importance of addressing data gaps, strengthening data protection frameworks, and responsibly leveraging technology to deliver relevant and impactful financial services.
Ajit Kumar Menon, Group Chief Operating Officer, Vivriti Capital, observed that Artificial Intelligence is rapidly moving beyond industry buzzwords to create measurable business value. He shared that intelligent automation is significantly reducing customer onboarding timelines and improving operational efficiency across functions, adding that the key challenge for organisations is no longer whether AI will transform work, but how quickly they can adapt to this change.
Vikas Arora, Non-Executive Director, Infotel Finance Pvt Ltd, discussed the growing impact of AI across underwriting, risk assessment, collections, and customer engagement. He noted that intelligent decision-making systems are helping NBFCs enhance operational efficiency, reduce risk exposure, and improve customer experiences, making AI adoption a strategic imperative for the sector.
Aditya Singh, Co-Founder, GoGreen Capital, highlighted the increasing importance of sustainability-focused financing and the role of data-driven innovation in enabling long-term growth. He remarked that sectors such as electric mobility and renewable energy present significant opportunities for lenders, and that success will depend on the ability to convert data into smarter decisions, stronger financing models, and resilient ecosystems.
