    • Legal
    • Regulatory

  • New developments in the payment landscape like:
    • The Unified Payments Interface
      • Future course
      • Subscription billing
      • Split payments?
      • Operational guidelines

      • Ethereum, etc.
    • AEPS (aadhar e-payment system)
    • International payments in India
  • Payments instruments
    • At Point of Sale (POS)

    • Resilience under loss of access to network
    • Money transfer at POS (to a brick-and-mortar vendor)
  • Structure, implementation, and effects of the ongoing demonetization scheme
  • Workshops around open APIs from banks and PSPs

Format

We are inviting proposals for:

Full-length 40 minute talks.
Crisp 15-minute talks.
Sponsored sessions, 15 minute duration (limited slots available; subject to editorial scrutiny and approval).
Hands-on Workshop sessions, 3 and 6 hour duration.

Selection process

Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by an Editorial Panel. We urge you to add links to videos / slide decks when submitting proposals. This will help us understand your speaking experience, and if further practice is required. Blurbs or blog posts covering the relevance of a particular problem statement and how it is tackled will help the Editorial Panel better judge your proposals.

We expect you to submit an outline of your proposed talk – either in the form of a mind map or a text document or draft slides within two weeks of submitting your proposal.

We will notify you about the status of your proposal within three weeks of submission.

Selected speakers must participate in one or two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.

A speaker is NOT confirmed a slot unless we explicitly mention so in an email or over any other medium of communication.

There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers. As our budget is limited, we prefer speakers from locations closer home, but will do our best to cover for anyone exceptional. HasGeek will provide a grant to cover part of your travel and accommodation in Bangalore. Grants are limited and made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes or longer).

Venue

50p will be held at the MLR Convention Centre, JP Nagar.

The Path to Innovate in Banking

Submitted Sep 5, 2016

Banking is all set to change for hundreds of millions of Indians thanks to smartphone boom & the digital banking infrastructure being laid out by banks. Every aspect of banking right from account opening to wealth management is set to change in an unprecedented fashion. There are numerous opportunities opening up for startups to disurpt everything from credit to insurance to savings. These are products that haven’t changed considerably for decades & by riding on big data, there is a never before opportunity to offer a fantastic user experience to customers in the most intuitive and digital way.

Outline

The talk would be about how user expectations are fast changing and how tech startups could be great partners to the banking behemoths in winning over customers and in the process create win-win situations. The experience of Chillr having worked with a dozen odd banks and processing millions of transactions every month will help us present a frist-hand view of things in a startup’s language.
