Past attendees loved IFTA!

Read what they had to say

Valocity Global had an incredible experience at the IFTA Awards. Attending as a Fintech Finalist presented a great opportunity to demonstrate the Valocity platform to leading key lenders and participants in the banking ecosystem and the highlight was undoubtedly winning Fintech Start Up of the Year!

Valocity Global was very impressed with the IFTA Forum by the breadth and depth of attendees and especially the wide range of innovative attendees coming from all over the globe. What a great opportunity to collaborate and network – we will definitely be back!

Carmen Vicelich
CEO and Founder, Valocity Global

Being identified as the ‘Fintech Startup of the year’ during the FinTech awards and subsequently getting a direct entry to Paris Fintech Forum was a very significant milestone in our startup journey. This was one of the first major awards we received and it was a great recognition of the hard work we had put into building our product and platform. This award gave us enormous belief in our vision. We’ve come a long way ever since, but winning IFTA 2017 will always remain special to all of us at ZestMoney.

I was mighty impressed with the depth and the quality of young companies presenting at IFTA 2019. Fintech is now better understood and there’s always a risk that such events become a rehash of what worked yesterday. In that respect I would say that IFTA 2019 was very refreshing and it will make me want to come back for IFTA 2020.

Mr. Rajeev Ahuja
Executive Director, RBL Bank

Our technology and our team is what we trust in the most. This recognition by IFTA is a sign that our efforts in revolutionising the financial ecosystem are in the right direction. I would like to thank IFTA for a well-organised forum – it was a great evening and extend my congratulations to all the winners and participants

I am honoured to win the Woman Leader in Fintech award at IFTA 2019. A lot of great conversations happened during India FinTech Awards that brought together different perspectives on all the latest developments in fintech.

Mabel Chacko
Co-founder and COO, Open Financial Technologies and winner of Woman Leader of the Year at IFTA 2019

The award opened doors to several Indian banks and added weight to our innovation in a market we were keen to enter.
The pitching process and the judges were very professional and we enjoyed the experience thoroughly. Thank you!

It was such a great honor to be awarded Fintech Rising Star at IFTA. We are a global platform that has been establishing many partnerships with Indian based companies to help with our global expansion. The relationships we were able to build at the event, and the recognition received thereafter as a result of winning the award, are invaluable to our mission to become the world’s leading fintech platform.

Unlike other award functions, IFTA is more about brining relevant ecosystem stakeholders together. It provides a platform for them to interact, share knowledge, appreciate the achievements and understand the trends within this very dynamic FinTech ecosystem.

Vikram Pandya
Director - Fintech, S P Jain School of Global Management

IFTA’s ‘Fintech Start-Up of the Year’ award in 2016 was among the first honourable recognitions Capital Float received. The award acknowledged the company’s immense potential to disrupt financial services and be a chief driver of technological innovations in the space. The Indian Fintech Forum continues to encourage tech-driven start-ups in BFSI to push the envelope and support India’s objective of being a Fintech superpower.
