[Booth 5K33] Four Odisha Graduates, One Question: What Does It Really Take to Break into Global Fintech?
Add to calendar
About This Session
Breaking into fintech is harder than it looks: skills shift fast and entry level roles are narrowing. Four Odisha graduates from GFTN's capacity building programmes share what it took to build the capabilities global employers hire for. Odisha is investing in FinTech and in the Global Capability Centres that follow it. That makes the question a practical one for the state's graduates: how do you build the specific capabilities those employers hire for, and how do you get close enough to the industry to be seen by one?
Four of the CFI students take the stage here: two Global Pathfinders and two MUFG Young Innovators. We’ll walk through the programme as they lived it, from the skills they brought in, to what the capstone asked of them that they had not expected, to how they have grown as professionals since.

Arjeet Sahu, MUFG Young Innovator (Cohort 2)
