Pine Labs Introduces AI-Driven Protocol for Autonomous UPI Payments
Pine Labs has launched P3P, an AI-driven payment protocol enabling UPI transactions without human authentication. The protocol allows consumers to authorize payments once, after which AI agents can browse, select, negotiate, and complete payments autonomously. Anchored on UPI's existing frameworks, P3P integrates verifiable identity and spend controls to ensure secure, auditable transactions. This innovation positions India at the forefront of the growing global agentic commerce market, projected to reach $65.47 billion by 2033.
