Global Fintech Fest Mumbai: GFF Passes, Attendees and Leads
By Ilyas Kerbal,
Global Fintech Fest (GFF) has become one of the largest fintech events in the world. The 2025 edition drew more than 100,000 attendees to Mumbai, with India’s Finance Minister, central bank and regulator heads and global leaders from BIS, MAS, Adyen and Visa on stage. It’s organised by the Payments Council of India, the Fintech Convergence Council and NPCI, with RBI, SEBI, IFSCA and PFRDA as regulatory supporters. For anyone selling to banks, NBFCs, payments companies or fintechs in India, the GFF attendee list is about as relevant as it gets.

Get the Global Fintech Fest attendee list before the show
Event apps are built for browsing, not for sales teams. They cap connections, hide data behind logins and rarely let you export anything. I pull attendee, exhibitor and speaker data from the app and the event website, enrich every profile and hand you a clean file before the doors open, so your reps can book meetings in advance and follow up properly afterwards.
