Adani Group's recent foray into the UPI, digital payment, and credit card sector has generated significant buzz. Here are my thoughts on the potential benefits of this strategic move. Adani Group’s entry into the UPI, digital payment, and credit card sector is a game-changing move that has the potential to bring substantial benefits to the Indian financial ecosystem. As a major conglomerate with a strong track record in infrastructure and energy, Adani's financial strength and operational expertise can catalyze innovation and efficiency in the digital payments space. The group's extensive reach and resources can accelerate the adoption of digital payment solutions across diverse geographic and demographic segments, particularly in underserved rural areas. Adani’s entry could also ignite healthy competition in the industry, potentially leading to superior services, reduced transaction fees, and more consumer-friendly policies. Competing against established players like Google and Reliance could drive all companies to innovate and elevate their offerings, ultimately benefiting consumers. Furthermore, Adani’s focus on sustainability could pave the way for developing environmentally friendly financial products and services, aligning with global trends towards green finance. What are the potential downsides of this move? #digitalpayment #upi #industryupdate

RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das highlighted that India contributes nearly 46% of global digital transactions, largely due to UPI. • International Expansion: UPI’s model is being adopted by countries such as Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Bhutan, Nepal, UAE, and Canada. NPCI International Payments Limited (NIPL) recently partnered with the Bank of Namibia to develop a similar system, expanding UPI’s global influence.

That the Indian payments space is crowded and not many players are profitable is known. With news that Adani group might be entering this space and Ambani’s Jio ambitions in the overall financial services space, what does it mean for the sector ? I write in The CapTable on many things on this thread… Will #nue come back alive ? Will we see M&A in Payments space ? Will we see rise of a new duopoly of Indian superapp owners ? Will we see any successful super-app from Indian conglomerates ? Will these entrants become more an embedded-finance play, and avoid the need to become a Universal Bank ? Is that a new way to becoming a bank, without even applying to be one ? If so, what about the regulatory capacity and capabilities to supervise such activities ? https://lnkd.in/d3Gr5qS4 ( a 12 min read) #payments #NPCI #jio #ambani #adani #nue #superapp #RBI Reserve Bank of India (RBI)
