NextBillion - An Initiative of the William Davidson Institute at the University of Michigan

Grameen Foundation India (GFI) is hosting the conference ‘Driving Financial Inclusion in India’s Hinterland’ on April 19, 2023, with an aim to promote collaborative innovation to empower communities, particularly women, for a sustainable financial future. By convening a diverse set of stakeholders in the sector, the conference will generate nuanced perspectives on the complex challenges in India’s financial inclusion story and drive meaningful progress towards a more inclusive India.

Financial inclusion is crucial for India’s economic growth, and the diverse themes of the conference will delve into the impact of interventions so far in the ecosystem. The discussions on digital finance, access, and gender sensitivity will provide insights into how technology and gender-sensitive policies and interventions can be leveraged to enhance financial inclusion in India’s hinterland. Additionally, to enable stakeholders to stay abreast of current and future developments in the financial inclusion landscape, GFI will launch knowledge products on these themes and conduct a tour of futuristic augmented reality learning tools for bottom-to-top sectoral players.
