Fintech Premier League (FPL) kicks off across Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru. Organised jointly by Startup Policy Forum (SPF) and Signzy, the second season brings together 38 teams representing 34 organisations and more than 570 players, with 82 matches being played across the three cities.
The Fintech Premier League (FPL) is an 8-a-side tennis-ball box-cricket tournament that brings together fintech companies, financial institutions and technology players through a professionally conducted cricket tournament. Following the response to the first season, FPL has expanded to three major fintech hubs this year.
The participating teams represent a wide cross-section of the financial services and fintech ecosystem. Axis Bank, HDFC Bank, HSBC Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank and Yes Bank are among the banking participants, while Axis Finance, Flexiloans, Kissht, Indifi, Lendingplate and Jio Credit represent lending and credit. The payments and fintech infrastructure space includes PayU, NPCI, Benow and Mosambee, alongside companies such as Signzy, Equifax, Protean, Xflow, Stable Money, Zerodha and ZET across identity, financial infrastructure, wealth and digital financial services.
Shweta Rajpal Kohli, President and CEO, Startup Policy Forum, said, “Fintech is a closely connected industry, but most interactions between companies happen around business, policy and industry conversations. The Fintech Premier League (FPL) creates a different setting for people across the ecosystem to meet and compete. The response to the first season demonstrated the value of creating such a space for the community, and the second edition builds on that momentum with participation from companies across the fintech ecosystem.”
Arpit Ratan, Co-founder and Business Head, Signzy, said, “The idea behind the Fintech Premier League was always simple: bring people from the fintech ecosystem together and let cricket do the rest. The first season showed us that there was genuine interest in the format, and Season 2 is significantly larger, with 38 teams across three cities. It is good to see people who usually meet across boardrooms and business meetings now competing against each other on the cricket field.”
The tournament is being conducted in three stages — the Regional League Phase, Regional Knockout Phase and National Championship. The regional matches are being played across the West, North and South zones, with the winning teams progressing to the National Championship in Mumbai on 31 October 2026.
