With more than 400 million smart phone users and 800 million mobile users India has all the elements for a high growth payment systems market. But unlike its Chinese counter parts the Indian Payment infrastructure is state owned built by the National Payment’s Corporation of India with it’s UPI (Unified Payment Interface), which eliminates the need to have or store money in a digital wallet.

In such a scenario how will the giants scale up? Who will be victorious when there is a common level playing field?

In our proposed payment trip we will meet with companies, employees, startups and governments within the payment ecosystem to help further understand and assess if Indian Payments really offer the potential like their Chinese counterparts.
