Sanjay Uppal — Founder
Founder & CEO of FinbotsAI, a Singapore-based AI-first company pioneering the world’s first vertical AI Factory — transforming how FIs build and scale intelligent quantitative models. After two decades in global banking — including CFO roles at Standard Chartered, Emirates NBD and Hong Leong Bank — I founded FinbotsAI in 2017 to make AI explainable, repeatable and enterprise-ready for FIs. Today, our AI Factories are proven across Asia, the Middle East and Africa, delivering faster, fairer and more accurate decisions — earning recognition from the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the IFC’s SME Finance Forum. I’m passionate about industrializing AI responsibly — advancing inclusion, democratizing access, and sharing lessons that separate reality from hype.
