    Fintech

    India's real-time, interoperable bank-to-bank payment system operated by NPCI. It lets any app move money instantly between accounts using simple identifiers.

    Why it matters

    UPI rewired Indian payments, displacing cash and card economics, and is the rails on which much of Indian fintech is built.
