The Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance (BFSI) sector is experiencing unprecedented change driven by digital transformation, regulatory reforms, and evolving customer expectations. From open banking frameworks and embedded finance to AI-powered insurance models, innovations are reshaping how financial services are delivered. According to the IMF, financial services contribute over 20% to global GDP, underscoring both the scale of opportunity and the intensity of competition.
In such a fast-moving environment, firms must understand how their peers and emerging disruptors are adapting. This is where competitor benchmarking becomes critical. By systematically evaluating strengths, weaknesses, and best practices across the BFSI ecosystem, organizations can anticipate market shifts, refine strategies, and build long-term resilience.
