Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The rapid advancement of financial technology (FinTech) is transforming traditional banking, fostering a digital revolution in financial services. Emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, big data analytics, and cloud computing are enhancing efficiency, accessibility, and security in banking systems. In the Indian context, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, celebrating 75 years of independence, emphasizes innovation, financial inclusion, and a self-reliant (Atmanirbhar) digital economy. Government initiatives such as Unified Payments Interface (UPI), Aadhaar-enabled payment systems, and digital lending platforms are key drivers of this transformation. FinTech is democratizing access to banking services, empowering small businesses, and fostering economic growth in line with Viksit Bharat 2047—a roadmap for a developed India by acknowledging the undeserved communities. While FinTech brings immense opportunities, challenges such as cybersecurity risks, regulatory frameworks, and financial literacy remain crucial considerations. This paper explores how emerging technologies are reshaping banking, their impact on traditional financial institutions, and their role in realizing India’s vision of a technologically advanced and financially inclusive economy for undeserved communities.
