ABOUT FLAME UNIVERSITY
FLAME was founded with the concept of liberal education as its cornerstone. FLAME celebrates ideas, cherishes diversity, and strives to deliver an academic experience that fosters intellectual curiosity, a critical thought process, self-reflection, leadership and teamwork skills, a sense of commitment and professionalism and a heightened sensitivity to one’s sociocultural environment. FLAME aims to provide an interdisciplinary platform of education by propagating different models and paradigms through, but not limited to, history, philosophy, political sciences, psychology, business, economics, mathematics and finance.
ABOUT FLAME INVESTMENT LAB
As part of its endeavor to constantly redefine education, FLAME inducted the FLAME Investment Lab (FIL), an initiative that strives to deliver the concepts and decipher the art of value investing to interested students. FIL believes in the dictum “invest in yourself”. It provides tools for self-learning and acquiring knowledge, constantly striving for intellectual stimulation and asking questions. FIL strives to widen your horizons, aiding you to connect the dots within seemingly disparate information. FIL truly believes that the best investment is investing in yourself. As Socrates has said, “I cannot teach anybody anything. I can only make them think.”

PROGRAM DETAILS
The word Fintech evokes emotions ranging from fear, apprehension, indifference, excitement to ecstasy. Are these emotions justified? And where are we actually? Will Fintech really lead to AI taking over the Finance & Investment industries? Or will it provide an opportunity to improve the skillsets, service & performance of the industry as also increase the addressable market-size for the industries? And what is the future of Fintech? Where will the investment opportunity be?
This event is an attempt to try to evaluate the future of Fintech, the opportunity that it could carry and whether the hype around Fintech is really justified.

Session Topic Description:
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, the Menlo Park, Calif., leading Venture Capital firm set up a $100 Million Java Fund in 1996 to invest in companies that would create software and related products based on the Java programming language developed by Sun Microsystems Inc. The rest is history. Today, the Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix and Google (FAANG) are the global market’s five most popular and best-performing tech stocks. Two of these have crossed trillion dollar market cap and Google is on its way there. We, the Indian Retail Investors have been deprived of all this action for the past 40 years. The next wave to reach trillion dollar market cap during the next decade could be platform companies such as Airbnb and UBER that may be followed by Artificial Intelligence based startups including fintech. Umesh will take a look at some of the most exciting fintech statups. Who knows … one of them could reach trillion dollar market cap and hopefully this time Indians may get to invest in it as it lists.
