One Vision — Business
One Vision

One Vision podcast co-hosted by Theodora Lau, Arunkumar Krishnakumar, and Maxson J.Y. Tee, brings purposeful innovation to spotlight.

It is where impact meets innovation. One Vision is a convergence of minds that dream of a sustainable world for future generations galvanized by innovation.

We speak to startup founders, investors, industry players, thought leaders and policy makers in the innovation ecosystem and get their views. While there have been a lot discussed about innovation in the western world, we believe that impact at scale can be achieved in the emerging markets too. In recent times we have seen several leap frog moments across the emerging world. What Alibaba and Tencent have achieved in China, PayTM in India and MPesa in Africa are great examples of impactful stories. We talk to many emerging market players and highlight their efforts to create such leap frog moments.

We believe there are many innovation stories that have impact on people’s life across the world. We identify these stories and talk to them about their journeys, successes and challenges they have had to overcome. In providing a stage for these entrepreneurs, thought leaders and innovators, we hope to inspire a generation looking to effect positive change. One Vision, One Dream, One Voice for One sustainable future.

The Other 50: Ho Ho! Father Christmas comes to Fintech Town Dec 17, 2019

Show notes

As we rolled out the previous episode discussing what we think lies ahead on Fintech landscape, we saw several ask from people on what they would like to see as well. So, Theo kickstarted a Twitter crowdsourcing attempt to get a Fintech wishlist. We then spent sometime discussing that on this week's podcast.

We start with Diversity as that was the biggest ask from Twitteratis. For instance, despite efforts across the ecosystem, we still see a massive difference in funding for women led startups. This is something we should see addressed soon.

The other key ask was sustainable finance. We had highlighted this as a key area that would start seeing more and more focus in the last episode. Since then we have seen some big news with Mastercard investing into Doconomy and other climate conscious efforts from Fintechs.

Fintech education was one key ask from the crowd. Theo and Brad feel there is a strong case for a proper course, where as Arun felt that with the quality of online content on Fintech, we only need Fintech education for specialists. These and more in today's episode.

The Other 50: Loki is a woman Dec 03, 2019

Show notes

A constantly evolving connected environment, coupled with consumer demand for all things digital, is leading to unprecedented cybersecurity challenges. While consumers are becoming more comfortable banking and shopping online, investments in maintaining security and preventing data theft and breaches often lag behind. Data breaches continue to make the headlines in North America, with an estimated 60 million Americans being affected by identity theft.

The U.S. also suffers from a higher attack rate overall, compared to Canada and the U.K. How do we balance data privacy and security – with convenience and a frictionless customer experience?

In this new episode of “The Other 50”, Theo and Brad chat with security expert Alissa Knight on her most recent project that has uncovered security challenges with 30 banks. In this API economy, security must not be an afterthought. Incumbents and startups alike must take the necessarily steps to safeguard consumers’ data and assets – and to provide the necessary mechanisms to educate consumers on the importance of cybersecurity hygiene.

The Fintech Thanksgiving Nov 26, 2019

Show notes

Thanksgiving is fast approaching in the U.S. As we gather along with fintech friends and families and reflect on the year that was, what are some notable moments?

In this episode of Rhetoriq, Arun, Brad, and Theo reflected on an eventful year, from mega industry deals to partnerships between unlikely bedfellows; from industry leaders in the East, to laggers in the West. While we continue to see funding pouring in, especially for fintech challengers that claim to be revolutionizing the financial services industry, are we truly achieving inclusion? Is a great user journey just a lipstick on a pig?

How do we define purpose, and build sustainable business models to better serve local communities and those forgotten demographics in our society?

We also touch upon the biggest risk to businesses, societies and to the next few generations - climate risk, albeit only in brief.

Tune in for this week’s brand new episode – The FinTech Thanksgiving. And thank you – for being part of our ecosystem.

The Other 50: The Data Science Dream Nov 19, 2019

Show notes

2019 has been a busy year for emerging technologies, especially for artificial intelligence (AI). From healthcare to financial services; from digital surveillance to education, new use cases have come and gone – along with news headlines on the dangers and opportunities of such power.

Slowly – but surely though, AI is beginning to transform financial institutions’ relationship with their customers, as well as their relationship with money. From mobile banking, customer service, and beyond, incumbents and startups have been deploying various tools that serve to provide a more seamless customer experience. Combined with advanced data analytics, financial institutions can now empower consumers to “self-drive” their finances towards a desired goal, instead of merely providing insights based on historical transaction data (e.g. how much did I spend on Starbucks last month.) No wonder many in the business consider AI to be a must-have in order to remain relevant and competitive.

Join Theo in this week’s new episode of “The Other 50”, where she talked with Joyeeta Das, CEO of Gyana, about the promise and peril of artificial intelligence, and why it is important to dream.

The Other 50: March of the Pay's Nov 12, 2019

Show notes

Description for this week's episode: 2019 has been a whirlwind year for payments. Multiple mega deals were made and unlikely alliances between strange bedfellows have been forged. While we are still busy with plastics in the U.S., and finally enjoying the convenience of contactless payments, China has leapfrogged the world with their e-wallets ecosystem. All across Asia, big technology giants, such as Alibaba and Tencent in China, Grab and Go Jek in Southeast Asia, and Line in Japan and Korean, super apps play an increasingly dominant role in consumers’ lives beyond payments to other banking services. Will we see the West copying the trend from the East?

Join Theo and Brad in this week’s new episode of “The Other 50”, where they talked with Stephanie foster about global payment trends, digital adoption, and social responsibilities.

The Other 50: All roads must lead to Profitability Nov 05, 2019

Show notes

Digital only banks have been gaining popularity in recent years, especially in developing economies that previously lack formal financial services infrastructure. Apps such as M-Pesa (in Kenya), Alipay and Tencent pay (in China), and Nubank (in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico) provide their consumers with a convenient and cost effective means of banking via mobile phones. Even fintech startups that previously offered investment services only are rushing to add banking to their portfolio. Despite the popularity, however, one crucial question remains: How sustainable are their business models? Most of these startups have yet to turn a profit and are largely dependent on massive venture capital.

In this week’s “The Other 50” podcast, Theo and Brad chat with Tanya Andreasyan, MD and Editor-in-Chief of FinTech Futures, where they talked about the state of challenger banks and fintech funding, and what the future holds.

The Other 50: Something about Mary Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

Nothing like a natural disaster to bring us back to reality. Food, shelter, water … power and clean air - the basic modern day necessities that we need to survive. Things that we take for granted. When it comes down to it though, it is the human connection - the communities that we live in and the bonds that we forge, that matters. For most of us who look at new technology products day in and day out, it is easy to become jaded and forget about our roots. Banking is not about creating the next new shiny gadget; nor is it simply about lending more money faster and easier. It is ultimately about serving people and closing the gaps in our society.

In this new episode of “The Other 50”, Theo and Brad chat with Mary about her passion in banking and fintech, reflecting on the realities of modern day consumer finances, and the need for financial services industry to go back to our roots and do more.

The Other 50: Towards a more inclusive future Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

Is there a growing fallacy around financial inclusion? Are we simply creating a new form of imperialism by taking financial services applications built in countries like the U.K. and attempting to export them to markets like Brazil, Uganda, India, and China? How inclusive is financial services if we are not considerate of differing economic conditions and the intricacies of daily life? Can we truly meet global financial needs, or is the industry too focused on digital technologies rather than the reality of the human condition? We must create a new hope.

In this week’s podcast episode of The Other 50, Theodora Lau and Bradley Leimer have an engaging and free-ranging talk with Nina Mohanty on personal social responsibility, consumer debt, open banking, FinTech, financial services business model innovation, and financial education and how it impacts us individually. Learn about Nina’s passion about FinTech’s ability to drive broader financial inclusion and financial literacy, and her views on women's empowerment and the importance of children's education.

The Other 50: The Authentic Self Oct 15, 2019
Show notes

What is the future of financial services? By channeling the spirit of Schrödinger's cat, we must properly debate our industry’s purpose, we must showcase every issue and provide proper context. Is the industry losing sight of who we serve and our impact on society as we pursue profit? Have we lost something in the nuance between High Street and Wall Street and that of Main Street and real conversations happening around kitchen tables?

Sometimes it takes the mind of an economist to find that middle ground. In the inaugural interview of our Other 50 podcast, we make sure we get a little uncomfortable, in order to spark change and take off the blinders of blissful ignorance.

Theodora Lau and Bradley Leimer talk with Ghela Boskovich, Head of Fintech & Regtech Partnerships at Rainmaking Innovation, and Founder, Global Ambassador of FemTechGlobal. Prepare to be informed, entertained, and challenged by one of the leading voices in global fintech and regtech.
