The Chief Guest for the Conclave, Honourable Mr. R. Gandhi (Former Deputy Governor-Reserve Bank of India). lauded the idea of the Conclave by saying, "It is a great idea to have this kind of RegTech Conclave, first time in India. It is a need for all stakeholders-not just the RegTech companies but all stakeholders like the regulators and other regulated entities. The Conclave is a first step. I wish it continues in the coming years as well."

Mr. Gandhi also launched a report on India's regtech landscape 'RegTech - Gaining Momentum' prepared by Deloitte, India alongwith Mr. Rohit Mahajan (President-Risk Advisory, Deloitte, India), Ms. Aruna Pannala (Partner-Risk Advisory, Deloitte, India) and Mr. Gaurav Prakash (Chief Strategy Officer-Zone Startups India).
