We, University of Ahmedabad, IIT Gandhinagar and UC San Diego, are committed to developing the broader fintech ecosystem by leveraging our vast institutional assets to develop academic training and curriculum in financial technology at the International Fintech Institute. We will train new talent at scale and with global capabilities by developing programs in collaboration with industry and leading global academics. Together, we will meet the changing needs of the financial sector with innovative solutions and, through extensive applied research, provide new ideas to the industry and regulators. The Institute will also work closely with industry to reorient early and mid-career managers towards technology-driven financial solutions and services.

Manav Narang, Head of Financial Services for Plug and Play APAC and Program Manager for IFIH added, “We are excited to bring the global expertise of Plug and Play to GIFT City. Our vision is to create the largest fintech program India-wide – a collaborative platform where banks, payment companies, venture capital and corporate venture capital firms, accelerators and ecosystem partners unite.
