Global Fintech Fest 2026 is being held in Mumbai this week, with the Prime Minister scheduled to inaugurate the event on September 8. Its theme, Potential to Impact, brings Agentic AI, tokenisation and quantum technologies into the same policy conversation as financial inclusion, trust and connected global systems.
India’s fintech story has so far been dominated by digital public infrastructure and payments. The next phase is more complex: automated financial decisions raise accountability questions, tokenisation can alter how assets are represented, and quantum computing may eventually reshape encryption and cyber-security.
