P. I. T. Exchange ranks #3140 on The B2B Podcast Index with a substance score of 61.0 out of 100, scored across 1 recent episode. It scores highest on guest caliber and specificity & evidence. Shriyanka Hore holds a genuinely senior policy and industry-relations role at Swift, the world's most systemically important payments network, and speaks with real institutional authority. However, the role is primarily convening and policy advocacy rather than hands-on product or operations leadership, which limits the depth of practitioner insight on offer.
Averaged across 1 recently scored episode, with cited evidence.
The episode contains a handful of genuine data points and a useful two-track innovation framing, but large portions are institutional positioning and vague generalities rather than actionable insight. The most interesting piece - the Optimization Index - is teased without substantive findings being shared.
“we are going in for a two track parallel innovation strategy. And the second prong is around bringing um a new layer into our infrastructure which is blockchain based”
“75% of payments have to be credited within one hour. But when you look at economies and where they are in terms of their economic uh structure, in terms of the depth of their FX markets...It's a very uneven field”
The framing - DLT for wholesale, improved schemes for retail, ISO 20022 as a data journey not a destination - is entirely consensus payments-industry discourse. The Optimization Index is the one genuinely fresh artifact mentioned, but its methodology and findings are barely described.
“Payments is a team sport and that is where you uh, can establish better, you know more enhanced rules of offering um, customer service”
“What we are preparing for um is a multi model, multi rail, multi uh chain and a multi asset world”
Shriyanka Hore holds a genuinely senior policy and industry-relations role at Swift, the world's most systemically important payments network, and speaks with real institutional authority. However, the role is primarily convening and policy advocacy rather than hands-on product or operations leadership, which limits the depth of practitioner insight on offer.
“I lead up global industry relations at Swift”
“we've built an economic statistical model that kind of uh correlates uh, and scores these frictions for each country against the credit time that we see on swift”
A cluster of real figures grounds the episode (11,500+ institutions, 220+ countries, 98% ISO adoption, 45,000 payment routes, the 75% G20 one-hour target, November 2025 migration date), but the most substantive new research - the Optimization Index built from IMF/World Bank/BIS/FATF data - is described without sharing a single scored country, correlation figure, or ranking.
“we have over 11,500 financial, financial institutions on our network and we operate in over 220 plus uh, countries”
“unlock over 45,000 payment routes that exist on it today”
The host opens with several minutes of personal small-talk (tea preferences, sitar playing) and then primarily validates rather than probes - phrases like 'that makes sense,' 'that's fair to say,' and 'you've set that up nicely' dominate follow-ups. There is no pushback on vague claims, no request for specific index findings, and the guest is allowed to end by inviting the host to pitch their own conference.
“So I'm guessing this is very much in or keeping the G20 roadmap in mind. Is that fair to say?”
“Yeah, I think that's also interesting because that seems to be the consensus um at least across most of the industry”
