India’s fintech sector is experiencing unprecedented growth, driven by technological innovation and strategic government initiatives. With over 10,000 companies and $40 billion in investments, the sector has become a cornerstone of India’s digital economy. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently unveiled the Unified Market Interface, a groundbreaking platform enabling instant trading of financial assets as digital tokens, settled through the central bank’s digital currency. This development marks a pivotal moment in India’s digital finance ecosystem, which is further bolstered by advancements in data integration, asset tokenization, artificial intelligence (AI), and cybersecurity. The account aggregator framework currently serves 160 million accounts, enhancing financial inclusivity and transparency. Additionally, the Unified Lending Interface has bridged India’s credit gap, sanctioning 3.2 million loans worth Rs. 1.7 trillion since its launch. The retail digital e-rupee, adopted by 19 banks and 7 million users, has also emerged as a critical component of India’s digital public infrastructure. Despite lower R&D spending compared to the US and China, India is leveraging AI to accelerate innovation in life sciences, climate resilience, and space technology. The automotive sector is also thriving, with vehicle exports growing by 20% in the first half of 2025, driven by global demand for electric vehicles and SUVs manufactured in India. Companies like Suzuki, Hyundai, and Nissan are leading this export surge, positioning India as a global manufacturing hub.
