Privacy without data utility is pointless, says Navi’s Sachin Bansal at GFF 2026

Fintech startup Navi’s founder and CEO Sachin Bansal said privacy that locks customer data in silos where it delivers no value to the user is “pointless”. Speaking at the Global Fintech Fest, Bansal argued that data must serve the customer, not just be protected. “Ensuring extremely high levels of privacy while keeping data in a silo that is completely useless for the user itself is pointless, in my opinion,” he said.
