Inauguration of India Fintech Foundation: A Step Forward for Self-Regulation in the Fintech Sector

Summary: Industry leaders have officially launched the India Fintech Foundation (IFF), also known as the SRO-Fintech Development Foundation (Srof-DF), at the Startup Mahakumbh event. The foundation aims to establish a self-regulatory organization (SRO) for the fintech industry.

New Entity for RBI License

Members of the Fintech Convergence Council (FCC) have initiated the creation of a separate entity designed to obtain a Reserve Bank of India (RBI) license for the upcoming SRO dedicated to the fintech sector. The establishment of the IFF signifies a collective effort to enhance regulatory standards within the rapidly evolving fintech landscape in India.

Leadership Structure and Key Figures

Former RBI Deputy Governor, NS Viswanathan, has been appointed as the chairman of the IFF’s board of directors. Sai Sudha Chandrasekaran, the former country head for India, will serve as the CEO. The inauguration event was attended by notable figures including G20 Sherpa Amitabh Kant and DPIIT Joint Secretary Sanjeev Singh, highlighting the importance of this initiative at the national level.

Diverse Representation in the Board

The board of directors for the India Fintech Foundation includes prominent leaders from various fintech domains. Among them are Jitendra Gupta, co-founder of Jupiter, Sujith Narayanan from Fi Money, Ankit Ratan of Signzy, and Anurag Sinha from Onecard. This diverse representation surpasses 100 notable names from the fintech ecosystem, illustrating the collaborative effort to create a robust foundation.

Objectives of the India Fintech Foundation

In a recent press release, Chandrasekaran outlined the core objectives of the IFF, which will focus on:

  • Reducing the compliance burden on both state and industry players through the establishment of standardized practices.
  • Developing a robust ecosystem that encompasses the entire fintech value chain.
  • Fostering innovation across all fintech sub-sectors.
  • Ensuring consumer protection and promoting fair industry practices.
  • Creating a trusted and transparent voice for the fintech industry.

The Need for Self-Regulation in Fintech

The establishment of an SRO, such as the IFF, is crucial given the exponential growth of India’s fintech industry, projected to reach a market size of $2.1 trillion by 2030. By enabling self-regulation, the IFF aims to address compliance challenges while encouraging ethical practices among fintech companies. The RBI’s directives emphasize the importance of such organizations in bridging the gap between the industry and the central bank.

Future Implications and Industry Collaboration

If the IFF successfully obtains its RBI license, it will mark the emergence of the second independent self-regulatory body in India, following the approval granted to the Fintech Association for Consumer Empowerment (FACE). Collaborations among multiple SROs will ensure that various sectors within the fintech industry are represented effectively, facilitating tailored regulations that meet the specific needs of different fintech segments.

Conclusion: Empowering the Fintech Ecosystem

The India Fintech Foundation represents a significant milestone for the fintech sector in India, as it strives to create standards that promote innovation while ensuring consumer safety. With the backing of leading industry figures and a clear set of objectives, the IFF is poised to play a vital role in shaping the future of fintech in India, making it a more secure and regulated environment for all stakeholders.
