BharatNetra Roadshow – Bengaluru
The Government of Odisha, in partnership with the Singapore-based Global Finance and Technology Network (GFTN), has launched the BharatNetra Initiative with the establishment of the Integrated Global Financial Technology Capability Hub (I-GFTCH) in Bhubaneswar. Through a four pillar strategy - STEP (Space, Talent, Ecosystem and Policy) - the initiative aims to strengthen FinTech and InsurTech innovation while positioning Odisha as a gateway to world-class digital finance growth.
Leveraging Odisha’s strategic location on India’s eastern coast and its position within a multi-billion-dollar APAC financial technology corridor, BharatNetra is positioning the state as a gateway to world-class fintech growth and digital transformation. Under the broader I-GFTCH , Startup Réseau will operate a series of thematic bootcamps, incubation, and acceleration programs over the year.
As part of the lead-up to the Black Swan Summit 2026, scheduled for 5–6 February 2026 in Bhubaneswar, the BharatNetra Roadshow - Bengaluru will bring together startups, enterprises, financial institutions, investors, and ecosystem enablers from Odisha and India’s leading FinTech hubs. The roadshow will focus on exploring collaboration opportunities, identifying growth pathways, and sharing insights into how I-GFTCH aims to support Odisha’s emergence as a high-impact FinTech and InsurTech destination.
