The NISM RegTech Lab was inaugurated by Shri Tuhin Kumar Pandey, Chairman, SEBI, on 17 August 2026 at the NISM Campus, Patalganga. The Lab has been established as a technology-driven platform for education, training, simulation, research and innovation in financial-market compliance.

The Lab provides a multi-software environment covering RegTech, risk management, analytics, AI/ML and market-surveillance solutions, enabling participants to experiment with realistic regulatory scenarios using synthetic identities, transactions and case files. Its distinctive pedagogy involves participants working as compliance officers, risk analysts and investigators, following a practical workflow from screening and risk assessment through transaction monitoring, investigation, evidence evaluation and reporting.

The Lab will progressively expand its RegTech ecosystem across AML/KYC, regulatory intelligence, transaction monitoring, market surveillance, risk analytics, reporting and AI/ML, providing exposure to multiple technology platforms and compliance workflows.

The initiative aims to make students job-ready, technology-enabled compliance professionals by bridging the gap between regulatory knowledge and its practical application. Participants will gain hands-on exposure to screening, risk assessment, transaction monitoring, investigation, reporting and the validation of technology outputs.

The RegTech Lab is also envisaged to contribute to broader institutional outcomes, including:

• Professional Training & Capacity Building: Strengthening capabilities of students, market participants and regulatory stakeholders through practical, technology-enabled learning.

• Research & Innovation: Promoting research on emerging compliance technologies, AI/ML, regulatory workflows and the responsible use of technology.

• Industry Engagement & Ecosystem Development: Facilitating industry participation, technology evaluation and the potential development of a RegTech sandbox and innovation ecosystem.

Overall, the establishment of the NISM RegTech Lab represents a significant step towards integrating regulatory knowledge, technology, practical learning, research and industry engagement, further strengthening NISM’s role in developing technology-enabled compliance professionals and supporting innovation in the financial-market ecosystem.
