9th Annual
BFSI Credit Risk Management
India Summit
2025
Financial institutions are subject to a number of risks, although credit risk has always been of primary concern to these institutions, its importance became paramount during the recent financial crisis.
Indian banks and financial institutions have gradually embraced open banking while adopting sophisticated technologies to meet evolving consumer needs. This transformation, driven by financial technologies and shifting corporate and government regulations, has heightened the need for robust risk management across sectors. As the credit risk landscape becomes more dynamic, financial institutions must navigate regulatory shifts, economic uncertainty, and technological advancements, with AI and ML playing an increasingly critical role in enhancing risk assessment and mitigation strategies.
The 9th Annual Credit Risk Management India Summit will not only address the regulatory updates and its implications on banks, NBFCs, and microfinance companies, it will also provide insightful discussion on challenges, innovations, and best practices in credit risk management.
