Surepass Technologies took part in the 20th India Digital Summit (IDS) 2026. The event brought together industry leaders, policymakers, regulators, and technology experts to talk about where India’s digital economy, fintech, AI, and regulatory compliance are headed.
Event Overview
The India Digital Summit is run by the Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI), and it is one of India’s biggest events for the digital industry. This was the 20th edition, held on 29 and 30 January 2026 at The Leela Bhartiya City in Bengaluru. Over two days, founders, investors, government officials, regulators, and business leaders met to discuss technology, policy, and digital change, with a strong focus on AI, fintech, and the gig economy.
Panel Discussion
Surepass Co-Founder Karan Kapoor joined the panel titled “Rethinking Compliance for Scaled Fintech Ecosystems.” The session looked at the real problems fintechs run into when they try to follow regulations in practice. These include confusion over who owns compliance, turning rules into everyday processes, and keeping up innovation without adding risk.
One point came through clearly. As fintechs grow fast, compliance can no longer be an afterthought or handled in bits and pieces. It has to be built as a proper system, not just a checklist.

This idea, that compliance should be a system and not a checklist, shapes how Surepass builds. SureGrid, a compliance management platform, is made for fintechs working in India’s complex regulatory setup. It gives them structure, automation, clear visibility, and continuity in how they manage compliance across the business.
SureGrid brings the whole compliance workflow into one place, turning scattered, reactive tasks into a single, always-on system. Here is what it covers:
- SureComply: Automates compliance workflows, mapping controls and collecting evidence across frameworks like DPDP, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR to keep you audit-ready.
- SureCloud: Scans your cloud setup to flag misconfigurations, exposed keys, and vulnerable resources, ranked by real risk.
- SureHunt: Runs continuous AI pentesting to reveal real attack paths, not just isolated vulnerabilities.
- SurePilot: Auto-answers security questionnaires from your existing compliance data, so teams respond in seconds and close deals faster.
Compliance is not just about meeting today’s requirements. It is about being ready for what comes next.
