Finserv
Intelligence

The next decade of value creation in financial services will belong to those who build technology that powers it. We have chosen to build and to build in India.

Finserv Intelligence is our commitment to that shift, bridging the gap between academia, industry and national priorities. It is a Group-wide strategic initiative in applied research and innovation, launched to focus on high-tech, low unit-cost, highly scalable solutions – built in India, for India and the world.

Finserv Intelligence is designed as a holistic innovation ecosystem with a five-to-ten-year horizon for realisable impact. It will operate through an integrated model that brings together academic collaborations, investments in the start-up ecosystem and in-house specialists. Drawing on leading global and domestic innovation models, the initiative envisages R&D labs, centres of excellence, venture-led models and Scholars-in-Residence programme for capability building.

To launch the initiative, Finserv Intelligence has partnered IIT Bombay, India's premier academic and research institution. An MoU and Master Collaboration Agreement have been signed to establish a joint research centre and define a joint Statement of Work spanning AI, cyber security, quantum technologies and the reimagining of physical retail experience.

With IIT Bombay, we are putting India's finest scientists and most ambitious founders at the centre of solving problems that matter to a billion-plus Indians.
