The finance ecosystem is jam-packed. Every second day there is one or another fin-tech company mushrooming in the ecosystem either providing wallet services or payment gateway solutions. Reality is such that, the customers are baffled by multiple platforms like TMW (The Mobile Wallet), Paytm, Freecharge, Chillr, MobiKwik, PhonePe, GooglePay amongst others,who have been instrumental in changing the mindset of consumers by introducing the concept of wallet BHIM and other UPI payment gateways. Today, it is no more sacrosanct.

The challenge relies on how well these companies educate its customers about the flexibility and loyalty of using such applications,thereby paving a path towards the hassle-free cashless economy. The competition is tight. At the same time,this industry is galvanized by investors and VCs who see massive potential in digital services and solutions.

Vinay Kalantri, Founder, The Mobile Wallet, states, "It is all about the convenience,on how the
user is using the application. We have to lure the customers with cash backs, rewards, easy payments and investment options among other offers because they do not see the real merit unless we provide them with some kind of incentives. Once this is being used by people on an everyday basis as per their needs and requirements,I am sure that the industry will see genuine growth and revenue coming out of it."
