As AI adoption accelerates across India's financial sector, organizations are facing growing challenges in governing AI, machine learning, Generative AI, and third-party models while keeping pace with evolving regulatory expectations, operational risks, and accountability requirements.

RBI's Draft Guidance on Regulatory Principles for Model Risk Management (MRM) 2026 marks a significant shift in enterprise-wide model governance. Moving beyond traditional statistical and credit risk models, the guidance introduces expectations for AI/ML, Generative AI, agentic AI, rule-based systems, and third-party models across regulated financial institutions.

For many organizations, this means model governance can no longer be treated as a narrow technical control. It now requires stronger oversight across the full model lifecycle, including inventory management, validation, monitoring, documentation, human review, and clear ownership across business, risk, compliance, and technology teams.

Watch this webinar to understand what the draft guidance means in practice, the governance capabilities organizations should establish, and how to prepare for the next phase of AI governance and model risk regulation.
