GIFT Foundation

GIFT or Global Impact Fintech is an international non-profit organisation created as a representative and the collaborative umbrella body for fintech and Financial Inclusion. Originally organised as a fintech thought leadership forum, GIFT represented a broad spectrum of over 200 Fintech thought leaders from more than 35 countries across the globe.

Founded by Jeff Frey, Simon Wilson, Bettina Quimson, Sebastian Resano, and Malik Khan Kotadia - this forum engages with policymakers and Fintech, Tech, Blockchain, and Digital ecosystem leaders for knowledge sharing and community building.

As an umbrella organisation, GIFT caters to a broad set of stakeholder groups which include Fintech Startups, Financial Institutions like Banks, Exchanges, Developmental Institutions, Governments, Semi-Government and Regulatory organisations, as well as Finance Professionals from Academic Institutions and Students of Finance.

Socio-economic upliftment through leveraging disruptive tech can be a significant force in the world today. As technology improves and expands its reach into peripheral industries, it will lead to greater accessibility and thereby increased opportunities for individuals looking towards the new age of the gig economy and beyond.

As the world economy recovers, we re-enter a globalised postpandemic world, which needs collaboration and reformation for not only a sustainable future but also the active upliftment through the use of technology. This is a genuinely collaborative approach for the decentralised era.

“Our goal is to work with stakeholders to help collectively find solutions to humanity’s biggest challenges and problem statements by leveraging disruptive tech” - Malik Khan Kotadia.
