Robinhood’s Abhishek Fatehpuria on winning the modern financial consumer at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

At the TechCrunch Disrupt 2026, Abhishek Fatehpuria, Robinhood's Vice President of Product Management for Brokerage, discussed how the company is adapting to the changing expectations of modern financial consumers. Once known for commission-free stock trading, Robinhood now offers investing, banking, credit, crypto, retirement, prediction markets, and AI-powered trading. The company has grown to serve 28.6 million funded customers and manage $384 billion in total platform assets.

Robinhood's expansion into new areas like AI-powered investing tools and prediction markets has been driven by the expectation that financial products should be as intuitive and responsive as other technology products. Fortune 100 companies have set the bar for seamless digital experiences, and finance is no exception. The company is experimenting with AI-powered investing tools, including Cortex and Agentic Trading.

In Q2, nearly 100,000 customers had opened Agentic Trading accounts, enabling users to trade equities, options, and crypto through AI-powered agents.

Prediction markets have also become one of Robinhood's fastest-growing businesses, with 4.7 billion event contracts traded in August alone, up 15x year-over-year. Fatehpuria's session at TechCrunch Disrupt will explore how product organizations can expand without losing sight of the customer experience that drove original growth.

It will also provide insights into how one company is increasing wallet share by moving from individual products to a broader financial ecosystem. The session is relevant not only for fintech leaders but also for founders, investors, and product leaders in other industries, as it highlights the importance of prioritization, trust, customer behavior, and managing complexity in product development.
