NPCI CTO Highlights Growth Potential and Challenges for UPI Expansion
The Unified Payments Interface (UPI) continues to show strong growth potential, especially in rural areas and offline payment solutions, according to NPCI Chief Technology Officer Vishal Anand Kanvaty. Despite crossing 24.5 billion transactions in August, challenges remain in expanding access beyond urban centers. NPCI also plans to broaden UPI's international presence, focusing on countries with significant Indian travelers. Additionally, artificial intelligence is being integrated into NPCI operations to enhance user and merchant inclusion over the next decade.
