India’s digital economy stands at a defining inflection point. As global capital flows into fintech startups and regulatory structures crystallise around digital public infrastructure (DPI), the narrative often swings between euphoric celebration and sceptical caution.

1. A Decade in the Making Over a decade ago, I had the privilege of leading Apple Pay’s launch for Apple and Visa in the UK, building the early foundations of tokenisation and biometric authentication that would go on to redefine how the world transacts.

The lines between banks and non-banks are blurring faster than ever. Retailers offer payment cards, ride-hailing apps issue microloans, and digital wallets manage millions of accounts without holding a banking license.
