AI isn’t a campaign. It’s a core banking reset.
In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, we’re joined by Amith Rajan, CEO of Neo Ventures and Head of Digital Wholesale Banking at Mashreq, for a candid conversation on how AI, tokenization, and infrastructure transformation are reshaping the banking stack from the inside out.
We unpack:
- Why "rip and replace" is a myth and what real legacy evolution looks like
-How Mashreq is deploying AI across KYC, onboarding, and customer insights
-The role of tokenized assets, CBDCs, and smart contracts in wholesale banking
- How Neo Ventures is exporting IP and scaling infrastructure beyond capital
- Why culture, not technology, is the biggest barrier to digital transformation
