They say that the new normal has marked the end of fintech experimentation. Holds true in the current times when almost everything is being driven by technology. With the onset of the pandemic, workforces in the BFSI industry were being asked to engage differently with customers and respond to new shifts in customer demand, especially with the heightened expectations for paperless servicing and remote advisory. Talent remains the biggest asset and source of capital for all institutions, and the challenges many are facing is how to quickly skill their team members to meet this demand in a contactless environment, which is the future. Financial institutions have been exploring a number of options, including micro-skilling, innovating with technology, and hiring new talent.

It is around this paradigm that strategies are being crafted by companies in the BFSI space. A crucial and core part of this strategy is to build the required talent base that will help ensure the success of the Digital Transformation journey.
