Sahamati BuildAAthon 2024

Insurance penetration is only **4.2%** of GDP, compared to the global average of **7.2%**, with higher premiums and claim rejection rates. Similarly, less than **5%** of the population in India access investment advisory services. Markets like the U.K. have seen improvements in insurance penetration through Open Finance initiatives. The Account Aggregator (AA) ecosystem in India presents opportunities to develop innovative financial services and foster financial inclusion in India.

This hackathon theme challenges participants to create innovative solutions that make financial services, especially insurance and advisory services, more accessible and affordable for all Indians. The focus is reducing fraud claims, enhancing process efficiency, and leveraging new technologies to democratize financial services. Participants are encouraged to develop customer experience innovations that significantly improve usability and accessibility.

1. **Expanding Insurance Penetration in India**
2. **Expanding Advisory Services beyond HNIs and UHNIs**

Focus Area: *Accessibility & Inclusion*

The DPDP Act 2023 empowers customers to control and share their personal data across sectors. Through consent managers, individuals can manage their information to access services on better terms and stimulate product innovation. The Account Aggregator (AA) ecosystem is a pioneering implementation of consent managers, and the Act opens up exciting opportunities for innovation in the financial sector.

This theme focuses on leveraging the cross-sectoral potential of the AA ecosystem. We encourage participants to explore use cases allied to financial information available on the network and to explore financial applications of non-financial data, such as government records (transport, utility, land) and private data (social media, employment, e-commerce).

1. **Explore Unifying Synchronous and Asynchronous Data Sharing**
2. **Leveraging Financial Data for Non-financial Use Cases**
3. **Complementing Financial Service Delivery with Non-financial Data**

Access to real-time data is critical for risk management use cases that provide actionable insights. This theme invites participants to create cutting-edge solutions built on the AA framework for fraud prevention and risk mitigation in the financial sector. The theme also encourages teams to explore privacy-preserving technologies that ensure sensitive customer data remains secure while providing meaningful analysis and insights to customers and institutions alike. Additionally, we invite teams to offer solutions that strengthen the regulatory and supervisory functions in the ecosystem.
