I was one of six panelists at the Fintech Valley Vizag Spring Conference on 9 March 2017, speaking as a Director at ValueLabs, on how blockchain could transform the infrastructure that financial services run on. Fintech Valley Vizag is the Andhra Pradesh government’s initiative to build a fintech hub in Visakhapatnam, and the Spring Conference was one of its flagship events.
The panel was:
- Akshay Dhanak, Vice President, Business System and Technology, HDFC Life
- Sudin Baraokar, Head of Innovation, SBI
- Rachna Nath, Partner, KPMG
- Vinay Agarwal, CEO, Angel Broking
- Paul Kitti, Co-founder, TenX
- Hitesh Sarda, Director, ValueLabs
We discussed what established financial institutions could do to reinvent themselves, and agreed that the disruption would come from start-ups that manage to build trust. The session closed with questions from the audience and a look ahead to the Fintech Valley hackathon planned for later that year.
The Hans India covered the conference, including this panel.
