SamvAAd is the flagship annual community event hosted by Sahamati, bringing together leaders from across India’s open finance ecosystem. After two successful editions, the event has evolved into a key forum for regulators, financial institutions, fintechs, technologists, and ecosystem builders to exchange ideas, share insights, and collaborate on the future of consent-based data sharing in India.
As the Account Aggregator (AA) framework continues to scale, SamvAAd 2026 will focus on how data empowered by consent is enabling smarter risk assessment, improving credit decisioning, and expanding access to financial services. The event will spotlight real-world use cases and ecosystem perspectives that are shaping the next phase of India’s open finance movement.
