“Empowering Cooperative Banks for an AI-Driven Future”
5th - 7th June 2026 | Hotel Ramada, Lucknow
Cooperative banks continue to play an important role in expanding financial access across rural and semi-urban India. Their deep local presence has helped millions of households and small businesses access credit and essential banking services. At the same time, the sector is working through operational, regulatory, and technology-related challenges that limit its ability to scale and compete in a fast-evolving financial landscape.
The Bharat Cooperative Banking Summit 2026 is a prestigious three-day residential retreat designed exclusively for CXOs and senior leaders of Cooperative Banks of India. Hosted in the culturally rich and architecturally stunning landscape of Heritage City – Lucknow, this retreat blends strategic learning, leadership conversations, AI-driven innovations, cybersecurity preparedness, and curated experiences.
