The Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Udaipur has launched a digital fintech centre to be driven by fintech academia and stakeholders for empowering the development of financial frameworks and technical understanding of the path-breaking industry vertical.
This initiative aims to bring together industry practitioners, market regulators, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, technologists, and academicians to develop new knowledge, practices, and frameworks for the rapidly emerging and disruptive financial vertical.
The center will have access to high-end computing capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning and other tools and skills required for the development of new ideas, frameworks, and practices in this rapidly evolving space that has the potential to redesign and redefine the financial landscape of the country.
“Fintech itself is becoming an area of great interest and is filled with new kinds of activities, which have the potential to dramatically change the BFSI sector in this decade itself. The Centre can therefore play a pivotal role here by bringing together an ecosystem of practitioners, researchers, consumers, and entrepreneurs from this domain and give back to the industry and academia value in terms of knowledge that can be used in practice, policy and education,” said Dr Y Shekar, In-Charge, Fintech and Centre for Digital Enterprise, IIM Udaipur.
