Agentic AI adoption in India's financial services and commerce sectors is advancing but faces critical challenges due to legacy financial and commerce infrastructure designed for deterministic software, not autonomous AI agents. Key issues include the need for new frameworks around permissions, authentication, audit trails, liability, and spending controls.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You must build or partner on secure middleware that manages AI agent permissions and audit trails before your AI can handle real financial transactions. Legacy payment and banking systems will block autonomous AI use until they accept these new control layers.
