The structure of NPCI set up by RBI in 2008 as a non-profit company for payments, far exceeded expectations. It has set the stage for national information utilities. Using NPCI as the template we have several bodies now of similar structures whether it is GSTM for taxes, Digi yatra app, ONDC. All these other tech companies we have set up in India on a non-profit basis are to create digital public infrastructure, using NPCI\u2019s model. Hope they too will add value,&#8221; said Nilekani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Becoming An Online Formal High Productivity Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further adding, \u201cIn India, we are going from an offline informal low productivity economy to an online formal high productivity economy as millions of people join society, get digital ids, bank accounts, mobile solutions and use digital capital to get credit. In the next 20 years, we will see a huge formalization of India.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to make this a reality, a few things had helped including the digital infrastructures like Aadhaar and UPI and also entrepreneurs, Nilekani said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;During 2016, there were 1,000 startups in India and in 2023, there are 100,000 startups \u2013 a 10X growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The success of UPI is reflected in the sheer numbers, as it has scaled up in relatively a short period of time. More than 10 billion transactions for over Rs. 15 trillion value were carried out in August 2023. This number is steadily rising and India\u2019s technology stack has accelerated digitalisation through mobile phones and internet,&#8221; Das noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier media reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi also spoke about how amazed foreign delegates are when they see &#8220;street vendors asking customers to pay through a QR code through UPI.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said, &#8220;No wonder India accounted for almost half of the real-time digital transactions that happened in the world! Even other countries are keen on associating with UPI, so much so that Indians find themselves having the option of paying through UPI even outside India.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier, a slew of innovative products were launched by the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) on Wednesday, September 6.
