In which city was the 7th Global Fintech Fest 2026 inaugurated by the Prime Minister?
- A.New Delhi
- B.Mumbai
- C.Bengaluru
- D.Gandhinagar
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Mumbai. Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the seventh edition of the Global Fintech Fest there on 8 September 2026, and the festival continues in the same city until 11 September 2026. Option A, New Delhi, hosts many national conferences and is therefore the most natural wrong guess, but this fest is anchored in the country's financial capital. Option C, Bengaluru, is associated with technology and start-ups, which makes it plausible for a fintech event, yet it is not the venue named here. Option D, Gandhinagar, hosts the international financial services centre at GIFT City, whose regulator supports this fest, so a well read candidate may be tempted; support from a regulator is not the same as hosting the event. While revising, fix the edition number with the city and the dates, because questions on summits almost always test that combination.
