Why This Summit Matters
The World Fintech Summit is not your average industry conference. Backed by the Government of Karnataka, it brings together global policymakers, regulators, fintech innovators, investors, and technology leaders under one roof with a clear agenda — to shape the future of finance. Over two days at Sheraton Grand Bengaluru, the summit will drive conversations around financial inclusion, digital transformation, regulatory frameworks, and the role of emerging technologies in redefining how money moves.
Karnataka, home to India’s Silicon Valley, is uniquely positioned to host this dialogue. The state has long been a launchpad for tech-driven innovation, and its ambition to anchor India’s fintech growth story makes it the ideal setting for this kind of policy-meets-industry discussion.
As financial technology continues to reshape economies across the globe, summits like this one are where the rules of the next decade get written.
Bybit’s Role — and Why India
Bybit’s decision to participate as a Silver Partner is a deliberate signal. The exchange, which serves over 80 million users worldwide, has been increasingly attentive to India’s rapidly evolving digital finance landscape. Participating in this summit allows Bybit to strengthen ties with government stakeholders, engage with regulators, and position itself at the heart of India’s fintech ambition.
Representing Bybit at the summit will be Mykolas, Global Policy Head, who will take the stage as a panel speaker for the session titled “Vision 2030: Building India’s $1 Trillion Fintech Economy with Karnataka at the Forefront.” The session will bring together leaders from government, policy, and industry to discuss what it actually takes — through innovation, smart regulation, and public-private partnerships — to turn that trillion-dollar goal into reality.
Mykolas put it simply: India is one of the most dynamic fintech markets globally, driven by rapid digital adoption and a forward-thinking innovation ecosystem. The World Fintech Summit, in his words, is a “valuable opportunity to engage with policymakers and industry leaders while contributing to discussions around the future of finance and blockchain-led innovation.”

The Real-World Assets Conversation
Beyond the panel, Bybit will also be sharing perspectives on Real-World Assets (RWAs) — a topic that is rapidly gaining traction in both traditional finance and crypto circles. RWAs essentially tokenise real-world financial instruments like bonds, real estate, or commodities on the blockchain, creating a bridge between TradFi (traditional finance) and DeFi (decentralised finance).
For India, where financial inclusion remains a critical priority, this conversation is especially relevant. Bybit’s insights on how RWAs can unlock accessibility, efficiency, and new investment opportunities are likely to resonate with both the policy and investment communities in the room.
Key Leaders Bybit Will Engage With
At the summit, Bybit will connect with some of India’s most influential names in governance and technology, including:
- Priyank Kharge — Minister of Electronics, IT & Biotechnology and Rural Development, Government of Karnataka
- Sanjeev Kumar Gupta — CEO, KDEM (Karnataka Digital Economy Mission)
These are exactly the kinds of stakeholder relationships that can shape regulatory clarity and create the conditions for blockchain-led innovation to thrive in India.
