The conversation explores digital-only models like Nubank and Revolut, why AI in banking is a hard grind rather than plug and play, where Indian banks are already ahead of global institutions, the rising and unpredictable cost of AI models, AI-led cyber risk and governance, and what India has built beyond UPI from video KYC to the account aggregator.
