What is Fintech? | Data Privacy & Fraud | Entrepreneurs Rohith & Tarun x Karishma Mehta | Ep 38

“For years, companies have been collecting data… Now, the time has come to make them accountable! With the Digital Personal Protection Act coming up, under which every company that collects customer data will now have to appoint ‘consent managers’. These consent managers can take legal action on behalf of consumers if their data is being used without consent. How incredible is that?”
With their backgrounds in data science & fintech, respectively, Tarun Nazare and Rohith Reji, young boys with big dreams in The Silicon Valley of India, felt there was a gap in the BFSI sector, and ended up filling that in 2019 with their venture, Neokred! With their collective experiences in building apps and business, they came together to found Neokred, it was a win-win!
Join us in this episode as we understand all things fintech with them-from navigating through the foundational aspects of fintech to how it is reshaping the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector, and from the complex landscape of data protection and privacy to challenges they faced as entrepreneurs.
This episode is an inspiring blueprint for anyone looking to make an impact in the entrepreneurial world-don’t miss it!
We also spoke about:
. How to safeguard yourself from money laundering
. What are consent managers?
. RBI’s role in furthering fintech
. What does the future of fintech look like?
. How can we protect our data?
