Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EP083 - Crypto - GENIUS Act vs Payment Banks: Lessons in Safety, Scale & Regulation
Q: Why does it matter to our listeners, considering a lot of our listeners are based in India?
Stable coins could become a key settlement rail in cross-border payments and remittances. If the Genius Act fails, it could entrench a few big issuers, making the infrastructure less open and diminishing the momentum towards inclusive digital payments.
EP082 - Lending - In conversation with Shweta Pandey, Co-founder and CEO, ARTH
Q: How does the design principle around women's borrowing differ?
Women are often not seen as independent borrowers and require a different approach to lending that takes family dynamics into account.
EP082 - Lending - In conversation with Shweta Pandey, Co-founder and CEO, ARTH
Q: What did you see in the market or really not see that led you to build ARTH?
I observed that financial exclusion was a major challenge and that many low-income households, particularly small businesses, were underserved.
EP081 - Stablecoins - In conversation with CA Aishwary Gupta, Global Head of Payments - Polygon Labs
Q: What kind of regulatory clarity is needed in India to make INR-backed stablecoins viable?
Aishwary discusses the challenges posed by existing regulations and the need for amendments in banking laws to enable the creation of a viable stablecoin framework.
EP081 - Stablecoins - In conversation with CA Aishwary Gupta, Global Head of Payments - Polygon Labs
Q: What Indian use cases do you think are most ripe for stablecoin adoption today?
