Mumbai, December 18, 2025:
India’s standing as a global financial technology powerhouse received a strong reaffirmation as Nucleus Software convened senior leaders from banking, fintech, NBFCs, FIs and the technology ecosystem at Nucleus for India | Synapse 2025 in Mumbai.

The forum explored how AI is rapidly becoming the defining operating layer of modern financial institutions, reshaping decision-making, risk intelligence, customer experience, and digital growth models. The conclave also marked a major milestone for the company with the global launch of FinnOne Neo® GA 8.5, the newest generation of its flagship digital lending platform.

The evening opened with a forward-looking conversation on the technologies set to influence competitive advantage through 2026 and beyond. A keynote address by Lt. Gen (Retd.) Sanjay Kulkarni brought an unexpected and powerful dimension to the dialogue-drawing parallels between leadership in high-stakes environments and leadership through rapid technological disruption.

Speaking at the event, Vishnu R. Dusad, Co-founder & Managing Director, said:
“India is actively shaping global fintech innovation. Our digital public infrastructure has laid one of the strongest foundations in the world for AI-led transformation. The institutions that will lead the next decade will be those that combine technology with purpose, responsibility, and trust.”

A Strategic Highlight: The Global Launch of FinnOne Neo® GA 8.5

One of the most anticipated moments of Synapse 2025 was the announcement of FinnOne Neo® GA 8.5, representing a significant step forward in Nucleus Software’s lending innovation journey.

Positioned as a future-ready platform for digital lending, GA 8.5 strengthens compliance readiness, accelerates digital onboarding and credit decisioning, and enhances the ability of financial institutions to scale across multiple markets. The release brings improvements across performance, security, automation, and ecosystem integration-designed to support institutions operating in India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Australia.

AI-Defined Banking – Insights from the Leadership Dialogue

The signature industry discussion, “What Will Winning Institutions Look Like in 2030?”, moderated by Parag Bhise, CEO & Executive Director, examined how AI will influence the future shape of banks and lenders.

Leaders agreed that AI will soon become the enterprise fabric guiding decisions across credit, risk, fraud prevention, operations, and customer engagement. Institutions that invest early in data, governance, and intelligent automation are expected to gain disproportionate advantage, while hesitation or slow adoption could widen competitive gaps.

Commenting on the strategic significance of the moment, Parag Bhise, CEO & Executive Director added:
“Synapse 2025 brings leaders together to reimagine what the future could look like. With FinnOne Neo® GA 8.5, we strengthen our commitment to enabling institutions with the intelligence, resilience, and agility required to succeed in an AI-first world.”
