The park is scheduled to be constructed in close proximity to the Jewar International Airport, which is scheduled to commence operations in September 2024.
Financial Services Ecosystem
In addition to offering ancillary services like lodging, business spaces, data centres, shopping arcades, etc., it will enable stock exchanges, stock brokers, crowdfunding, angel funding, banking, insurance, digital money, digital economy, financial R&D, capital markets, etc. Currently, the Noida-Greater Noida region is home to almost 240 fintech startups working in the fields of digital wealth management, payments, blockchain, and digital lending.

The Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Lucknow, is looking to update its curriculum to better prepare students for the local and international financial and investment landscape in response to the growing demand from the fintech and investment domains.
