The Fintech Centre of Excellence is an impact-focused initiative by NSRCEL at IIM Bangalore in partnership with HDFC Bank Parivartan, the CSR arm of HDFC Bank.
The program invites early to growth-stage fintech startups that are expanding access to banking, strengthening financial inclusion, and addressing meaningful financial challenges across diverse population segments in India.
Selected startups receive milestone-based grant support along with structured capacity-building to strengthen business models, improve market access, and enable long-term sustainability. The initiative supports innovation across lending, payments, insurance, wealthtech, regtech, and allied fintech domains, with a strong emphasis on technology-driven impact.
