Debating the FinTech Landscape in South Asia: Balancing Innovation with Regulation The panel discussion will explore the balance between innovation and regulation in South Asia’s rapidly growing FinTech industry.

The panel will discuss the potential risks and benefits of FinTech, the role of regulations in mitigating risks and the compliance burden on FinTech players. The discussion will seek to identify the compliance professional's role by answering whether more rules and regulations are needed for sustainable growth, even though innovations claim to thrive best when free of rules and regulations, or if it is about balancing innovation with regulation without compromising risk management principles. Following the panel discussion, delegates will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in a Q&A session with the panelists. Speakers:
