The day-long event will explore how automation and AI can be leveraged to achieve greater equity in workplaces, in financial inclusion, and in healthcare access. This official Pre-Summit Event of the AI Impact Summit 2026 will bring together technology executives, policy experts, and social impact leaders to examine how artificial intelligence systems are being developed predominantly without women’s perspectives and deployed in ways that disproportionately affect women’s economic security. Sessions will address breaking digital barriers in employment, AI governance frameworks, algorithmic bias, and the redistribution of unpaid care work through technology.

As we gear up for PowerPixelParity 2025 we revisit the energy and conversations that shaped last years TalentNomics conference

C.P. Gurnani, Co-Founder and Vice Chairman of AIONOS and former CEO of Tech Mahindra, will deliver the Special Guest of Honour address. Manoj Chugh, Independent Advisor and former President of Group Public Affairs at Mahindra & Mahindra, will deliver the keynote address to share his insights on building equity in the age of AI.

Suparna Mitra, former CEO of Titan Company’s Watches and Wearables Division and Independent Director at Swiggy, will deliver a special address on technology and business transformation. 

The moderators and panellists are current and former leaders of large and new-edge organizations, including Google, IBM, Mahindra Tech, Microsoft, the International Labour Organization, Gates Foundation, World Bank, ORF, EPIC World and the United Nations Global Compact Network India.

“This conference will provide a critical forum for diverse stakeholders to align on practical pathways for the fast-evolving AI to be inclusive and that serves to reduce the gender gap,” said Ipsita Kathuria, Founder and CEO of TalentNomics India.

Confronting AI’s Gender Divide Across Work, Wealth and Wellbeing
The conference centres on TalentNomics India’s vision of an “Equiverse“—a Universe where gender equity is the norm and power, resources, decision-making opportunities and recognition are equitably shared. This year’s agenda confronts the reality that AI systems are being coded with the current gender biased assumptions and blind spots of their predominantly male creators, which will adversely affect women who remain overrepresented in sectors vulnerable to automation and underrepresented in technology leadership.

Five panel sessions will examine AI and automation’s role in workforce equity, financial access, care and healthcare delivery, mitigation of biases in AI systems, and regulatory frameworks needed for equitable automation. The program features “Nothing About Us Without Us,” a session demonstrating how bias manifests in hiring algorithms, credit scoring, and medical diagnostics.

A dedicated session will explore how AI can influence social norms around unpaid care work, which remains disproportionately performed by women. It will feature executives from CureBay, U4RAD, and Caregiver Saathi discussing AI applications that can impact the physical and mental wellbeing of women in rural and urban India.

The event will feature a fireside chat between two financial and investment experts who will examine how AI-driven financial tools impact gender disparity in wealth, asset ownership, and investment decision-making.

The afternoon sessions will address the data and algorithm gap that enhances the current biases in AI adoption and the lag between AI adoption speed and regulatory frameworks. These discussions will bring together policymakers, corporate leaders, and civil society to close the data gaps and shape equitable technology governance.

Decade of Advancing Gender Equity Through Multi-Stakeholder Dialogue
Now in its tenth year, the conference continues to advance TalentNomics India’s mission to build equitable futures through dialogues and cross-sector collaboration. Registration remains open through the organisation’s website. Equiverse Conference 2025 will also feature networking sessions and a product showcase.

India’s growth journey is being powered by the rapid digitalisation of its financial system. From mobile-based payments to online lending and financial inclusion initiatives, technology is transforming how people access, use, and benefit from financial services. 

Be a part of India’s digital finance growth story with Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund NFO live now

The Bajaj Finserv Banking and Financial Services Fund, an open ended equity scheme, seeks to invest in companies that are part of this evolving financial landscape. The New Fund Offer is currently live from Monday, November 10, 2025, and will close on Monday, November 24, 2025. The scheme will reopen for subscription within five business days from the date of allotment.

How UPI is driving digital payments at scale
Over the past few years, India has emerged as a leader in digital transactions. The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has made sending and receiving money as simple as scanning a code. This ease of use has helped drive a sharp increase in transaction volumes and values.

UPI transaction value has grown nearly five times, from Rs. 41 trillion in FY21 to Rs. 236 trillion in FY25. What started as a convenience in cities is now a part of everyday life even in smaller towns. Non-cash transactions among Indian households are expected to rise from 38% in FY23 to 62% in FY28, showing how digital payments are becoming a preferred mode of transaction.

This shift has strengthened the digital foundation of India’s financial system, making it more inclusive, efficient, and accessible.

Digital lending expands financial access
Technology is also reshaping how credit reaches people and businesses. Digital lending platforms have opened new ways for individuals and small enterprises to borrow, often with faster processing and fewer barriers.

By FY28, Tier 2 and smaller cities are expected to contribute more than 80% of digital lending disbursements, estimated at around USD 60 billion. This shows that credit is no longer limited to metros or large institutions. The rise of fintech-led lending is helping people with limited credit history or lower credit scores gain access to funds, especially for personal loans and small business needs.

Such innovations are helping bridge long-standing credit gaps and support broader economic activity.

Jan Dhan Yojana strengthens financial inclusion
While technology has driven innovation, government-led initiatives have strengthened access. The Jan Dhan Yojana is one of India’s most significant steps towards inclusive finance. Over the last decade, the number of Jan Dhan accounts has grown nearly 18 times—from 33 million in FY14 to 540 million in FY24. These accounts have accumulated deposits worth Rs. 2.3 trillion.

By connecting millions to the formal banking system, Jan Dhan has laid the foundation for direct benefit transfers. Subsidies, pensions, and other payments now reach beneficiaries directly, reducing leakages and improving efficiency.

This growth has deepened financial inclusion, ensuring that more people have access to basic financial services such as savings, credit, and insurance.

Fintech’s role in connecting the underserved
Fintech companies are playing an important role in making finance more inclusive. They are using data, mobile technology, and digital platforms to reach people who may not have had easy access to financial products earlier.

Fintechs have introduced innovative lending models that assess creditworthiness based on alternative data. They have higher participation among borrowers who are new to credit and among women entrepreneurs. With the growth of mobile internet and India Stack, fintech-led lending has expanded quickly, helping more people build credit histories and participate in formal finance.

By offering faster, simpler, and more customised financial solutions, fintechs are helping drive financial inclusion and consumer empowerment across India.

The fund’s portfolio* of 45–60 stocks is curated from around 180 – 200 companies that form part of India’s BFSI megatrend universe.

*The portfolio count is indicative, and actual number will depend on market conditions at the time of making investment.

For investors looking to align their portfolios with the digital transformation of India’s financial landscape, this fund may offer a suitable entry point.
