Glimpse from the Panelist of the webinar session


Trade Finance is a trillion dollar opportunity. Currently the global trade finance market is about US$65Billion and the opportunities are limited due to complex physical documentation involved in trade. This webinar highlighted how digitization is expanding the trade finance opportunity for lenders and Fintechs across the world. There are various ecosystem players who participate in trade increasing the level of documentation required and thus increases the complexities in trade. Digitalization makes such complexities visible and help streamline the entire process. This opens up a huge opportunity for young entrepreneurs who have a passion for Fintech and trade. The session focussed on various trade payment methods and  documentation involved in trade by quoting real world business examples.


The session concluded with active participation through varied questions and many doubts were cleared. Participants responded positively towards the session and said they found it very informative and interesting. Students thanked Christ (Deemed to be University)-Lavasa The Hub of Analytics for hosting this session on Fintech.
