About the Bharat AI Experience Zone

As part of Global Fintech Fest (GFF) 2025, scheduled from October 7–9, 2025, at the Jio World Centre, Mumbai, we are introducing a Bharat AI Experience Zone by NPCI-NVIDIA, a dedicated space to showcase credible, cutting-edge AI innovations through live demonstrations by leading deep-tech companies. Aligned with this year's theme, 'Empowering Finance for a Better World: Powered by AI', the Experience Zone aims to provide an interactive platform where participants explore real-world AI applications across banking and fintech, alongside insights into the technology constructs, from hardware and foundational models to live applications. Top AI innovators will showcase how AI is transforming finance and beyond, while engaging with global leaders, potential clients, and partners.
