Black Swan Summit Roadshow - Bhubaneswar
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 - Bhubaneswar will bring together startups, enterprises, financial institutions, investors, and ecosystem enablers from Odisha and India’s leading FinTech hubs.
