In this insightful lifestyle and business crossover conversation, we speak with Eshmael Mpabanga, Country Head & SVP at Intellect Design, on how the recent G20 Summit has spotlighted Africa’s growing influence in global governance and strengthened the powerful partnership between South Africa and India. From fintech innovation and digital public infrastructure to cloud-native banking and core system modernisation, Eshmael unpacks why the most impactful connection between the two nations is now technological rather than political — and what this collaboration means for the future of financial services across the Global South.
