Robinhood VP Abhishek Fatehpuria Joins Disrupt 2026

Abhishek Fatehpuria, Robinhood’s Vice President of Product Management for Brokerage, will speak at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 on the Smart Money Stage in a session titled “Winning the Modern Financial Consumer.” The event runs October 13–15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. The session will explore how technology and changing expectations are reshaping financial services and what it takes to build trusted products at massive scale.

The talk is set against Robinhood’s expansion from commission-free stock trading into a broader financial platform. The company now offers investing, banking, credit, crypto, retirement, and prediction markets, and has pushed further into AI, private markets, and international expansion. Robinhood reported 28.6 million funded customers and $384 billion in total platform assets at the end of August 2026. In its second-quarter results, Robinhood Banking had attracted more than $3 billion in deposits, its credit card business surpassed $100 million in annualized revenue, and prediction markets had traded more than 3.5 billion contracts through that point.

Robinhood is also experimenting with AI-powered investing tools, including Cortex and Agentic Trading. In Q2, nearly 100,000 customers had opened Agentic Trading accounts, which allow users to trade equities, options, and crypto through AI-powered agents. Prediction markets are among its fastest-growing businesses: 4.7 billion event contracts were traded in August alone, up 15x year-over-year.

The article frames the broader theme as consumer expectations shifting toward instant access, personalized recommendations, and seamless digital experiences, and asks which of those behaviors will spread beyond Robinhood. It positions Fatehpuria’s session as useful for founders, investors, and product leaders, and includes registration details: passes save up to $200 before September 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT, with up to 30% off group passes of four or more.
