India is now one of the fastest-growing fintech markets in the world. As of September 2021, the Unified Payments Interface set up by the Government in 2016 processed 3.6 billion transactions worth c.$87bn were processed across 259 banks which are using the platform. Fintech companies in the country have raised more than $10bn since 2016. It is not only the domestic companies that are experiencing but international fintech companies are jumping in as well. UK companies like Revolut, Tide etc have recently set up offices in India. Why has this area become so attractive and how can it be further boosted as a key area for UK-India collaboration?
