      Had an enriching exchange with S. Ganeshkumar Sir on the evolution of India’s financial sector over the past three decades. We agreed that digital innovation must continue to enhance convenience and value, while keeping interoperability, customer-centricity, affordability, and resilience at the core. Regulatory initiatives - like sandboxes and directional guidance - play a pivotal role in balancing innovation with systemic safety and stability. Crucially, sustained collaboration among regulated entities, fintechs, regulators, and government is key to accelerating inclusive, well-calibrated financial transformation.
