Today's IRDAI Consultation Paper is a reminder that to build a sustainable and thriving business understanding the 'Regulatory Compass' is as important as ensuring 'Regulatory Compliance'

Almost 25 years on from September 11, 2001, a drone display using 2,977 drones has recreated the Twin Towers, each representing a life lost in the attacks.

This is a must watch clip of a superstar, at his absolute lowest.

There is a lesson in maintaining composure and dignity in your conduct.

There is a reminder that when everything fails, go back to your core - in his case acting.

And there is a nudge that nobody is too big to ask for an opportunity.

From Hedge Funds to Regulators... Managing Risk is fundamentally what all of us do in Financial Services !

Decoding Demand in India - The Structural Opportunity !

------------------

We are fortunate to be in #India where still the story is more about Demand Capture than Demand Creation !

Either way, the key is to decode the demand drivers to have a focussed and prudent growth strategy...

In my conversation with @saurabhdigit we attempted to decipher aspects (and numbers) of #Development, #Demography and #Digital in India and how they stack up to create an opportunity which is structural and not just cyclical !

Why does banking feel so impersonal, when it used to be a relationship business?

@SouparnoBagchi father spent 32 years in a bank. Customers got invited to family weddings. And this was ordinary retail banking, not private banking.

Today you have an app, a website, a branch, and a call centre. And somehow, your bank still doesn't know you.

I sat down with Souparno Bagchi to understand what went wrong, and what omnichannel really means in banking, lending and fintech.

The moments which stayed with me:

→ "Digitisation happened, but the problem is we equated digital with distribution." Reach grew fast. Experience never came along.

→ You hold a premium credit card, and the bank calls you every week to sell you a new one. The message to the consumer: my financial institution doesn't know me, forget about understanding me.

→ We still haven't graduated from a product-centric view to a customer-centric view. Banks ask "which product do we push?" instead of "what does this customer need?"

→ Four channels, none of them connected. One privilege banking customer needed three branch visits for a single cross-border transaction.

→ Nothing is holding back the experiential part. Not regulation. Not capital. Not capability. It is just pure-play culture.

→ The key is not whether you have collected the data. The key is whether you can connect the data.

One reframe I keep coming back to: measure experience not by NPS or CSAT, but by value delivered ÷ value committed. Above 1 means it worked.

Where do you think your bank fails you the most: the app, the branch, or the calls?

Meaningful conversations are rare...

Meaningful convernsations are rare...

And meaningful conversations are always a two-way street. Thank you @saurabhdigit for being such a wonderful host and, more importantly, for creating the space to explore and unfurl so many facets of Fintech and Financial Services. 😊

In this episode of #DilseOmniTalks, we went beyond the usual conversations around Fintech.

We tried to decode how omnichannel is reshaping Financial Services in India from the economics of micro-lending and the India 1-2-3 framework to UPI, Account Aggregator, technology debt, AI and, ultimately, the one thing that may increasingly become the real differentiator #CustomerExperience.

For me, the interesting part was not necessarily finding all the answers, but asking the right questions. Because in a market as diverse and complex as India, there is rarely a single answer.

#India is a #ContinentalEconomy. And perhaps that is what makes the #FintechStory so fascinating.

#GTM Strategy for #Fintechs 🚀

Some conversations dive into the nuances, trade-offs, and real-world experiences that shape successful businesses..

Thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Matthew Coombs on #BehindTheNumbers #podcast, where we explored Go-to-Market (GTM) strategies for Fintechs in India.

If you're building, investing in, or advising Fintechs, I hope you'll find the discussion valuable.

"Responsibility cannot be left to adulthood...."

An year back, that was a line I shared during a conversation with Ipsita Basu from @YourStoryCo Media while discussing the future of #AI & #Data #Governance.

That thought has become increasingly relevant

The Business of (On-)#Lending is Humbling !

#LiquidityRisk - Often referred to as "Heart Attack Risk." Sudden. Fast-moving. And potentially fatal, with very limited recovery time.

Untapped niche areas in Fintech

------

Founders / CXOs in Fintech are for sure Full Stack Leaders !

- However, there is always an aspect of indexing either towards #build or, #monetization.

- Though monetization should not be equated to 'sales' only.

💡Through my experience I can safely say that 'Please do not start selling umbrellas just because its raining. You can very well do so provided you can contribute towards building the best and ensuring real value to the customer !'
