Hyderabad: Industry body Hyderabad Software Enterprises Association (HYSEA) in collaboration with Hyderabad Fintech Forum (HFF) organised `Catalyst’ event Tuesday at HICC. It is a platform to connect and promote collaboration of large corporates and startups for exchange of knowledge and ideas. The innovation confluence brought domain specialists, technology experts and business leaders from large and startup organisations.

“I am happy HYSEA and HFF have created this platform for corporates and startups to interact and collaborate. Considering BFSI is one of largest employment generators, the fintech theme for the first edition of Catalyst series is apt. All players in the innovation ecosystem should explore working with government financial institutions like T-Wallet, State Finance Corporation, Streenidhi Bank to see if we can improve efficiencies in service delivery as they touch the lives of citizens,” said Jayesh Ranjan, IT and Industries Principal Secretary.
