The annual challenge, run with the support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, funds start up ideas that use technology to bring financial services to the underserved segments of the economy and create a social impact.
In this round, Karandaaz had invited FinTechs to design and present solutions in nine thematic areas, including payments, interoperability, consumer/retail banking, regtech, insurtech, mobile wallets, loyalty programmes, lending, and savings.
