During the roundtable discussion, certain challenges were highlighted by the Fintech industry, which needs to be addressed at the earliest. These include, the need to promote innovation in non-payments space and securities market, conducting hackathons for solving real business problems, better clarity around KYC norms, lack of inter-regulatory discussions, absence of a centralized directory pertaining to the Fintech industry, need to develop APIs to enable better use of publicly available data sets and need to establish better industry feedback when regulators come out with a new policy.

Based on the suggestions made by the participants during the roundtable, we have prepared a policy document summarizing the key issues discussed and the solutions proposed for it. Please find the document attached with the blog.
