Mahogany, Grand Hyatt, Mumbai.
In the last decade, there has been a visible change in the retail payment systems in the country. This change is driven largely by innovation and competition from the FinTech firms. As per a Google-BCG report, FinTech has the potential to grow ten times by 2020 contributing 15% to the GDP. The objective of this roundtable is to bring together various stakeholders in the payments space for a discussion on how the potential of FinTech can be tapped to more efficiently deliver on the stated RBI 2018 vision for India to move to a “less-cash” society and towards digital payments.
