Engineering BFSI 2030 – The Trust Infrastructure Blueprint for the Autonomous Enterprise

Moving from India Stack adoption to India Stack maturity: UPI, Account Aggregator, BIMA Sugam, and ONDC-style rails as the new baseline, not the differentiator
Designing trust infrastructure that satisfies RBI, IRDAI, and SEBI by architecture, not by audit
What “autonomous enterprise” actually means for core banking, policy, and trading systems in practice

From Pilot to Production – Governing Agentic AI at Scale Across BFSI

What breaks first when AI agents operate at scale inside core banking, policy, or trading systems
Model governance in production: explainability, audit trails, drift monitoring, and human override that actually hold up to regulatory scrutiny
Embedding RBI, IRDAI, and SEBI compliance directly into AI release pipelines rather than bolting it on afterward

Cloud, Sovereignty & Vendor Risk – Architecting Resilience Without Losing Agility

Sovereign cloud and data localisation in practice: what has actually changed since RBI, IRDAI, and SEBI tightened requirements
Vendor concentration risk as an architecture problem: blast-radius assessment, portability, and cloud exit strategies that are tested, not theoretical
Securing transaction, policyholder, and trading & KYC data on shared multi-cloud infrastructure

Cyber Resilience 2027 – Incident Response, PostQuantum Readiness & Real-Time Regulatory Reporting

How incident patterns are shifting by sector: payment fraud, bulk data breaches, and trading system compromise
Post-quantum cryptography migration: what has moved from roadmap to rollout, and what is still stuck
Containing a compromise in core banking, policy, or trading systems without triggering wider disruption

Modernising the Core While Flying the Plane – IT-Led Transformation Across BFSI

Where core banking, policy administration, and trading & settlement modernisation programmes stand in 2027, and what changed since the last wave
Migration patterns that held up at scale: strangler fig, parallel run, and phased cutover, and what each cost in integration complexity
Managing data migration with zero tolerance for errors across millions of accounts, policies, or live trades

I enjoyed the event and found the delegate profiles and presentations very informative. I had productive conversations with potential customers and prospects, and I believe we will generate a decent list of leads for our company. The venue, food, and crowd were all excellent, and I had many interesting conversations and gained a lot of knowledge. We will definitely consider sponsoring DTS in the future.

I had really good conversations today with the number of delegates coming from the region and other places. Quite likely we we will consider it for the next year or your next city. The overall conversations were really good probably some of the really interesting conversations in change management and practical side of it and were really interesting.

I would rate the event a 9 or 10 out of 10. It was well put together and we received fantastic feedback and had high-quality conversations with delegates. It has been one of the best events we have participated in, with a good return on investment and leads generated. The audience was perfect and their interactions and participation in the event were excellent. The panel discussion was also very informative and useful for my presentation.

My overall experience was phenomenal given the quality of speakers as well as the delegates. It was a learning experience, meeting people from varied backgrounds and experience who are stalwarts and luminaries in their field. I see a lot of value identifying the challenges that these organisations face where in St. Fox can address those challenges in the short and medium term.

I was really impressed by the responsiveness of the Exito employees to so many of our queries, which we answered promptly and to my satisfaction. The turnout of customers to the event was very impressive. We look forward to working with Exito in many different geographies going forward.
