About SamvAAd
SamvAAd: “Discussion”, “Deliberation”, “Dialogue”, “Discourse”
‘SamvAAd2023’ is envisioned to be a day of open dialogue, sharing knowledge and experiences, celebrating achievements and laying down the future path to establish India as a leader in Open Finance led financial inclusion.
As the first event by the AA community for the only cross sectoral framework in India, SamvAAd is designed to be a unique gathering that brings together nearly 1000 attendees from regulators and policy makers, cross sectoral financial institutions (existing to AA and new to AA), technology providers and Account Aggregators.
The event will begin with the regulators and policymakers sharing their vision on establishing Data Democracy in the country, followed by power packed live use case demonstrations of the possibilities and impact of the AA framework across the four financial sectors and beyond. The event will culminate with a celebration and felicitation of the relentless contribution of various ecosystem participants.
