India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI)

You’re in line at a café. When you reach the counter, you tap your phone to pay—only to be told, “Sorry, we only take Apple Pay. You’re trying to use Google Pay.” You sigh and leave without your coffee. This frustrating experience highlights the limitations of fragmented payment systems.

In stark contrast, India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI) has revolutionized digital payments, becoming the world's largest real-time payment system with 491 million users and 65 million merchants. UPI's success lies in its interoperability, allowing users to make transactions seamlessly across different banks and payment apps.

Back to the café. This time, with a UPI-like system in place, you can use your preferred provider, pay instantly, and walk away with your coffee and a digital receipt. That small moment of ease—made possible by interoperability—is the foundation of a broader digital transformation.
