Agentic AI in Financial Services: The Next Evolution in Automation
Is Agentic AI the next UPI-scale transformation moment for BFSI?
In this insightful session from Bharat Fintech Summit, we explore how Agentic AI is moving beyond Generative AI and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to create autonomous, multi-agent systems capable of handling complex banking workflows like trade finance, credit underwriting, onboarding, compliance, and collections.
From the rise of OpenAI and Anthropic to the launch of Claude-powered co-worker platforms, the discussion highlights how AI agents are transforming financial services operations at scale — and why this shift is disrupting traditional workflow software globally.
