You Collected 45+ Cards at India FinTech Forum 2026. Now What?
India FinTech Forum produces 45+ cards from RBI officials, public-sector banks, private fintechs, and UPI ecosystem players. The 7-day plan separates the genuine partnership leads from the booth-sweep noise. Follow up the wrong way and you've damaged years of Indian fintech relationship-building.
The 7-day follow-up plan
Day 0 is the flight home. Day 7 is when the trail goes cold. What you do in between is the difference between "I went to India FinTech Forum 2026" and "I closed three deals from India FinTech Forum 2026."
Post-Mumbai: sort. LinkedIn-connect. Sleep.
Open NexaLink. Sort by sub-vertical (UPI / lending / wealth / insurance / regulator). Indian fintech follow-up expects formal email-first, not LinkedIn DMs for senior contacts. Send LinkedIn requests with formal introductory notes.
Personal email to every Hot contact.
Reference where you met. Reference what you talked about. Propose one specific next step. Use this template:
Dear [Mr./Ms. Last Name], Thank you for the conversation at India FinTech Forum 2026 on [Day 1 / 2]. I appreciated your insights on [specific UPI / fintech / banking topic]. Following up — would a [20-minute call / proposal / case study] be useful for [their specific use case]? Best regards, [your name]
LinkedIn note + soft email to Warm contacts.
Lower energy than Hot, but still personalized. Reference one detail from your conversation. Don't propose a meeting — just offer help. Acceptance rate is lower; the goal is staying on their radar for next quarter.
LinkedIn-only for Cold. Bump non-replies in Hot/Warm.
Cold tier: LinkedIn connection request, no email. Anyone in Hot/Warm who didn't reply by Day 5 gets one bump email — short, low-pressure, easy to ignore. After this, drop them.
Re-surface every contact tagged India FinTech Forum 2026.
NexaLink filter: tag = India FinTech Forum 2026. Send 5-10 no-pressure check-ins to people who didn't convert in week 1 but are still relevant. This is where year-over-year compounding starts.
How NexaLink runs the 7-day follow-up for you
- → Every card you scanned at India FinTech Forum 2026 is auto-tagged. Filter by tag and you have your follow-up list ready.

Frequently asked questions
How soon after India FinTech Forum should I send follow-ups?
Within 72 hours. Senior banking + RBI officials prefer thoughtful Day-3 emails over rushed Day-1 ones. Tuesday-Wednesday post-event is the sweet spot. Friday or weekend follow-ups can read as desperate to senior contacts.
What should the first follow-up email say after India FinTech Forum?
'Thank you for our conversation at India FinTech Forum.' Reference the specific topic discussed. Propose ONE clear next step (call, proposal, case study). Formal sign-off. Indian fintech follow-up emails average 100-150 words — too short is dismissive.
Should I follow up in English only?
Yes — formal English only for India FinTech Forum follow-ups, especially with RBI / senior banking contacts. Including Hindi or Marathi reads as performative in formal business email context.
How do I follow up with RBI / regulator contacts?
Reference their published positions, speeches, or RBI circulars. Regulators respond when they see you understand their priorities + ongoing initiatives. Generic 'great chatting' notes get ignored. Specific 'your point about ULI rollout — I think this connects to [our work]' gets read.
When should I send the second follow-up?
Seven to ten days after the first. Indian fintech inboxes move at a deliberate pace, especially senior banking + regulator contacts. One bump email with a different angle, then drop. Try again at the next event in their calendar (Singapore FinTech Festival, Money 20/20 Asia).
Don't lose the connection.
Free on iOS and Android. Scan cards, tag by event, and follow up without dropping a single name.
