There has been a notable increase in the number of women working in , and disrupting , the fintech sector in recent years . However , there are few that would disagree that more action is needed to encourage greater diversity .

In this issue we celebrate those women innovators , entrepreneurs and business leaders in the sector . In our lead feature we hear from Neha Mehta , founder of FemTech Partners , who spoke to us at this year ’ s Money 20 / 20 Asia event . Mehta , who has worked in the sector for some time , founded FemTech Partners in order to promote and encourage women in the fintech space . She tells us that , while the growing fintech market is providing new and greater opportunities , there is more to be done , adding that “ without a doubt , we should absolutely make this a national agenda ”.

Prema Varadhan , Chief Architect and Head of AI at Temenos , discusses the future digitalisation of banking , particularly with regards to the potential of AI-related innovations , while we also take a closer look at the Top 10 women in fintech . The latter includes several inspirational business leaders such as CEO of YouTube , Susan Wojcicki , and Abigail Johnson , CEO of Fidelity Investments and the most powerful woman in finance , according to American Banker and Boston magazines .
