Our ambition is to outpace the market with strong profitability. We’re deeply committed to driving digitization and financial inclusion, especially for small merchants. The synergy of the government’s Digital India initiative and RBI’s forward-thinking regulation presents a significant opportunity for PayU to build a robust fintech franchise out of India.
