Introduction
The evolution of FinTech in India has radically transformed the financial industry over the past few decades, revolutionizing how we access and manage our finances. With technological advancements, FinTech has emerged as a disruptive force, reshaping traditional banking and financial services.
With over 2,000 fintech startups, India is witnessing remarkable growth and is quickly emerging as one of the fastest-growing markets globally. Industry experts project that the Indian Fintech industry will surpass a valuation of US$150 billion by 2025. Also, the digital payments market in India is projected to grow at a CAGR of 29%, reaching INR 385 trillion by the end of FY26. Further, a recent EY study estimated that the fintech market in India will generate a revenue of $200 billion and manage assets worth $1 trillion by 2030.
Advancements in the FinTech Industry
In the past 15 years, India's FinTech industry has matured, fostering fruitful collaborations between Fintech startups and traditional financial institutions. This mutually beneficial partnership allows banks to leverage FinTech innovation and startups to gain customers and regulatory expertise.
Another notable advancement in the FinTech industry is the adoption of the latest technology stack. Advanced technologies like AI, ML, and blockchain streamline banking operations, enhance customer experiences, and mitigate risks for banks and FinTech companies.
With an adoption rate of 87%, India now boasts the highest Fintech adoption rate globally, surpassing the global average rate of 64%. Also, in the past five years, digital payments in India have experienced significant growth, with a 33% increase in transaction value and a CAGR of 30% in transaction volume.
This growth of the FinTech industry can be attributed to changing customer preferences, government support, and RBI initiatives focused on enhancing payment systems and introducing secure, customer-centric products.
