Fintech

Section 1 / Overview

Which way this sector's hiring is moving

Payments, insurance, wealth, and lending tech.

Fintech spans three connected areas. They are payments and lending, insurance and insurtech, and wealth and investment technology. India is one of the deepest fintech markets in the world, and the employers range from large payment platforms to insurers, brokerages, and newer wealth products. It is a broad, consumer-heavy sector with strong regulatory grounding.
