"As the digital economy grows, India has the potential to inspire other countries as they trace their own path toward inclusive growth"

There are various expectations with regard to reforms from the authorities to introduce and infuse in the “IT” sector and these are extremely crucial for building a more efficient and hassle-free digital payments’ sector for the customers. As the digital economy grows, India has the potential to inspire other countries as they trace their own path toward inclusive growth.

But,of 20 billion digital transactions in 2018 and rapidly increasing to 100 billion by 2022,it would not be possible without encompassing the rural population, which constitutes nearly 70 per cent of the total population.

It is to be noted that India comprises of 15 per cent of the world population and with a growth rate of seven to eight per cent, India can very well become the second largest economy by 2030.

To achieve this, the government considers the digital economy as the primary growth enabler. Echoing this faith, a Boston Consulting Group (BCG) study report released in 2016, points out that Indian digital payments industry will grow to $500 billion by 2020, contributing 15 per cent of the GDP.

More than 50 per cent of India's Internet users will use digital payments by 2020.

Going by these facts and figures, it is quite evident how much India requires the "IT" sector to support the country for ensuring that the digital payments are even more successful in every nook and corner as well.

It is found by several reports that the telecom infrastructure requires improvements in India as that affects everything about the cashless transactions. Even in the posh markets of the metro cities, some restaurants can't accept payment because of the poor availability of the internet in remote areas. In the recent time, it has been noticed that the PoS (point of sale)card machines are not able to work appropriately because of certain areas where the internet connectivity is not strong. If, in case, one wants to do a cashless transaction using an e-Wallet in the remotest of the areas, we expect that the telecom service must be strong enough for the internet to keep working and not die at the moment when the person is about to make the payment.

For all kinds of digital payments, IT is needed affirmatively by the digital players in the industry and the economy. The IT sector acts as the soul of the digital payments sector, and thus, requires to be provided with all the opportunities by the authorities to improve and be in sync with the growth of the govt’s initiative, which is Digital India.

We believe in the phrase "Success doesn't come to you, you go to it" and this concludes our motto as the digital payments industry to continue being ambitious and moving ahead with the maximum best opportunities in our grip.
