From the Editor's Desk...

An industry report states that India’s digital payments grew a whopping 160 times in the last 20 years, taking the country to the number one position in real-time digital transactions. Digital technologies and tools have unlocked new economic opportunities by democratising financial services, making these more accessible and convenient. While this has catalysed economic and societal progress, there is still a long way to go.

In a country defined by diversity, evolving regulatory policies, and a massive unbanked population, our issue shines the light on how select players in this new era are forging unique partnerships, and devising new financial products and services in an increasingly competitive market. As they steer organisations through a rapidly changing today, we also examine the ‘new thinking’ that leaders and policymakers of tomorrow must equip themselves with, to lead, manage, and create impact in these tech-driven times.
