Babu Nair — Co-Founder
I am a seasoned ecosystem, community builder, and innovator with a focus on driving engagements in the BFSI, Fintech, and Financial Technology sectors. My journey commenced at Express Computer, a Technology B2B media from the Indian Express Group in India, providing me a strong foundation during the technology surge in the 90s. I moved on to specialize in Financial Services, Insurance, and Fintech by learning the domains where I've consistently pioneered innovative media platforms as a foundation for enrollment strategies, engagements, and ideas to empower professionals in the sector. My expertise spans across FSI sector, Fintech, Technology, Research, Conferences, Events, Moderation, and Content creation, supported by a robust global network. I have achieved several industry-firsts, from launching one of the initial BFSI magazines globally in 2002 to conceiving India’s and possibly the world's first BFSI and BFSI Tech Innovation Awards in 2012, and introducing the world's first BFSI video channel, Finbizness, now www.Bankingfrontiers.live. I have now set up Financial Technology Frontiers, which is a North America-based media-led ecosystem to bridge Global Fintech players to North America and empower North American Fintechs to Global markets. I am also working on two critical impact projects of SOFFT (Skills of the Future in Financial Technologies) and WIFFI (Women in Financial and Fintech Industry). I am associated with mentoring several Startups, Scale-ups, and working with several accelerator and incubation ecosystems to fast track growth of the Fintech sector. Embracing the principle of "Aspire, Envision, and Dedicate Yourself to Realizing Your Dreams" has been instrumental in achieving my success. #AIRevolution #BlockchainInnovation #MetaverseExplorer #QuantumTech #SustainableTech #SmartCitiesFuture #BiotechBreakthrough #RoboticsRevolution #RenewableEnergyWave #SpaceTechAdvances #5GInnovation #CybersecurityFrontiers #HealthTechInnovations #ARVRAdvancements #DigitalHealthEra #EdgeComputing #NeuroTech #ClimateTech #FutureOfWork #TechForGood.
