India’s premier event for the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector, the Business Standard BFSI Insight Summit 2025, kicks off on Wednesday, bringing together top officials from the government, regulatory, banking, insurance, equity markets, and the fintech space.

The three-day summit will focus on India’s economic outlook amid rising geopolitical tensions and new American tariffs that threaten to disrupt the country’s growth trajectory, among a host of other important topics.

In response to these global challenges, the central government has announced several relief measures on both the direct and indirect tax fronts to spur consumption. Meanwhile, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has reduced the repo rate by 100 basis points and introduced a series of policy initiatives aimed at supporting economic expansion and cushioning the impact of external headwinds on India’s growth momentum.

The summit, where over 120 speakers will share their insights, is slated to begin with a conversation featuring M Nagaraju, secretary, Department of Financial Services. Chief Economic Advisor V Anantha Nageswaran will also address the gathering.
