At Bharat Fintech Summit 2026, Mehekka Oberoi, Anup Kumar Agarwal, Harsh Gupta, Anurag Begwani and Vikram Chachra (Moderator) decoded what it really takes to raise in today’s fintech market.

  •  Strong unit economics, not vanity growth
  • Clear compliance & governance mindset
  • AI-led efficiency, not just AI buzzwords
  • A team that can scale beyond the founder


Seed is about conviction.
Series A is about proof.

Fintech funding hasn’t slowed, expectations have evolved.

If you’re building in digital lending, wealthtech, or embedded finance, the right capital can accelerate your journey provided your fundamentals are strong.
