FLAME was founded with the concept of liber al education as its cornerstone. FLAME celebrates ideas, cherishes diversit y, and strives to deliver an academic experience that fosters intellectual curiosity, a critical thought process, self-reflection, leadership and team work skills, a sense of commitment and professionalism and a heightened sen sitivity to one’s sociocultural environment. FLAME aims to provide an inter disciplinary platform of education by propagating different models and para digms through, but not limited to, history, philosophy, political sciences, psychology, business, economics, mathematics and finance.
As part of i ts endeavor to constantly redefine education, FLAME inducted the FLAME Inve stment Lab (FIL), an initiative that strives to deliver the concepts and de cipher the art of value investing to interested students. FIL believes in t he dictum “invest in yourself”. It provides tools for self-learning and acq uiring knowledge, constantly striving for intellectual stimulation and aski ng questions. FIL strives to widen your horizons, aiding you to connect the dots within seemingly disparate information. FIL truly believes that the b est investment is investing in yourself. As Socrates has said, “I cannot te ach anybody anything. I can only make them think.”

The word Fintech evokes emotions ranging from fear, apprehension, indiff erence, excitement to ecstasy. Are these emotions justified? And where are we actually? Will Fintech really lead to AI taking over the Finance & I nvestment industries? Or will it provide an opportunity to improve the skil lsets, service & performance of the industry as also increase the addre ssable market-size for the industries? And what is the future of Fintech? W here 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.
