BFSI

Banking assets in India are expected to cross USD 28.5 trillion in the coming years, while mutual fund assets are projected to grow fivefold by 2025. At the same time, India has emerged as the global leader in fintech adoption, driven by an ecosystem that combines strong digital infrastructure, regulatory support and innovation-led business models. Digital payments are on track to reach USD 10 trillion by 2026, with nearly two-thirds of all transactions happening through digital platforms. UPI alone accounts for close to 40% of digital transactions, enabling billions of seamless payments every month.

For HR leaders, this evolution brings a new set of priorities. BFSI organisations increasingly require talent skilled in digital product development, cybersecurity, data analytics, risk management, compliance, customer experience, and AI-enabled operations. As financial services become more technology-intensive, institutions must build agile teams, strengthen leadership pipelines and create a culture that supports innovation and trust.

As the BFSI sector enters its next phase of digital and operational transformation, it becomes essential for organisations to attract, develop and retain the right talent. Building future-ready capabilities will be critical to delivering secure, seamless and customer-focused financial services in a fast-changing market.
