Fintech Friday with Zoop.one - Build Your AI Moat Through Smarter Context

​As AI capabilities become more accessible and technology continues to commoditise, founders are being forced to rethink what creates a lasting competitive advantage. Building a great product is no longer enough, and distribution cannot be the only moat.

​Context is increasingly becoming the differentiator helping founders build products that solve real problems, create stronger customer relationships, and establish a clearer right to win.

Join us for this edition of Fintech Friday with ZOOP, an initiative by NSRCEL as a part of FinTech CoE, in partnership with Government of Karnataka where we have these esteemed panelists:

• ​Harsh Surana, Chief Strategy Officer, Zoop.one

• ​Vijay Narayanan, Head of Innovation and AI, Kotak Mahindra Bank

• ​Deepti George, Founder, Yutadhi (Moderator)

​This panel will explore how founders can move beyond product development to build deeper customer understanding, whether growth comes from going deep within a domain or expanding across multiple sub-sectors, and how specialization can become a growth strategy rather than a limitation. From approaching integrations and partnerships to understanding common pitfalls, our panelists will share lessons from their experiences across the ecosystem.
