Why America could miss out big time on India’s fintech revolution

There’s an old trope in the West that India is like Indian trains — exotic, lurching and slow.

But tropes can be bad as a business strategy — and this trope is causing American companies to miss out on Indian moonshots and trillion-dollar opportunities.

In this article I’ll focus on fintech, which is leapfrogging in a way traditional banking never could. Morgan Stanley expects India’s digital payments penetration to increase from 5 percent today to 20 percent, and the e-commerce market to reach $200 billion, with 475 million e-commerce shoppers, adding up to a GDP upwards of $6 trillion — all by 2027.

Despite the deep economic and military ties between the U.S. and India, at the present moment China has stolen a march ahead of America in investing in the Indian fintech frontier. There’s a real risk of American companies being left behind.

I am seeing a lot of potential in Fintech. I think I should start focusing on this rather than IoT and Analytics.

Agree. IOT is the next if you want to settle in India.... there is nothing that will be replacing, India needs embedded device technology big time. IT will become self sustainable in US given that there an upcoming generation that will replace current immigration.

lol. em chepthunnav ayya.

microfinancing is expensive. capital markets are a fraction of india's gdp, funds - they are almost non existent in india, fintech okay some flashy new startups.

how will these replace traditional banking in India, which even at its best reaches only about 50% of the population.

sure there's a lot of money to be made in these, but not by destroying the core banking system. and fixed deposits.

are you following SuSu swamy on twitter by any chance? That guy is stuck in the 70s economy, and has nothing to offer the modern economy.
