Madhusudhan Ramakrishanan, CEO

Digital Payments are becoming the norm today with changing consumer expectations and the emergence of new and advanced technologies such as connected homes, contactless bank cards, wearable devices and augmented reality, which are adding fuel to cashless transaction growth. Among the various modes of digital payments, mobile payment systems are being widely sought-after as they can simplify and speed up payment processes while also providing a means to better engage with customers, integrate loyalty programs and improve sales. Corroborating this fact is data provided by Allied Market Research(AMR), according to which, the mobile payments market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 33.8 percent and reach a market value of USD 4,574 billion by 2023. However, despite these advancements, mobile payment adoption isn’t always effortless and is hindered by challenges connected with security, network infrastructure concerns, inability of payment solutions to function across different devices and operating systems and slow user adoption.
