Vikram Viadyanathan, Managing Director, Matrix Partners remarked, “Over
the past few years, the focus in the industry has been on scaling, which has
now slowly been moving towards sustainable growth. However, the challenge of
value erosion remains – faced with over-incentivisation. It is therefore integral
for the sector to concentrate on value creation. Fintech is a business of
trust, and thus it is critical to nurture the internal resilience to ride out
the cycles faced by startups.”

Lizzie Chapman, Founder, ZestMoney, commented, “The fintech space is
transforming at a dizzying speed. Instant gratification is the crux that has
accelerated mobile digital payments in India. Communication is a key component
to further drive the digital initiative and effectively mining content
marketing will upscale the nascent space that the country is currently in. Therefore
the startup ecosystem has recognized the vast potential in India’s diversity
and vernacular regions thus put a lot of emphasis on developing a user-friendly
interface. A combination of perseverance, tenacity and clear communication to
simplify financial products for the population is required to magnify the reach
and penetration of fintech across the country.
