We have been listening to podcasts for a fair bit now and we realized that business podcasts that were India focused, generally tended to only cover the startup sector. There was no podcast, that exclusively focused on the Indian Fintech space. With over $3.7 Bn invested in the space in 2019, the Fintech sector in India is rapidly emerging as one of the fastest growing and vibrant sectors globally.

So we decided that it was high time that someone covered the Indian Fintech market, providing rich analysis of sectoral themes and helping demystify complex topics. Thus India Fintech Diaries was born !!!

We hope that through this podcast, we can make information about the trends that are shaping Fintech in India more accessible to our listeners and help them understand the sector a little better
