The pandemic, the lockdown and the resulting uncertainty resulted in a 24% drop in GDP from April to June 2020. It certainly was a challenging time not only for the population at large but also for a majority of Indian businesses.\u00a0<\/span><b style=\"color: #111111; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6315em;\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But what stood out was the tenacity of Indian SMEs and entrepreneurs to not just weather the storm but adapt with breakneck pace to the requirements of the \u201cnew normal\u201d. Businesses increasingly went digital and started collecting digital payments through various different methods, embracing the convenience and security offered by digital payment platforms. At Razorpay, we first hand witnessed this revolution towards acceptance of digital payments and the adoption of innovative <a href=\"https:\/\/razorpay.com\/learn\/digital-payments-india-definition-methods-importance\/\">digital payment methods<\/a>, empowering businesses to navigate the changing landscape effectively.<\/span><b style=\"color: #111111; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6315em;\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most significant advantages of digital payment is the seamless experience they provide to customers. Reduced dependency on cash, fast transfer speed, and the ease of transacting make online payments a preferred option. Traditional payment methods like cash and cheques add to factors like risk, steps, and physical presence. With digital payment, you can send and receive funds from anywhere in the world at the click of a button.\u00a0<\/span><b style=\"color: #111111; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6315em;\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just recently, Unified Payments Interface, or UPI, recorded over 4 billion transactions in October, 2021, a new all-time high for the payment\u2019s platform since its inception. In value terms, the payments platform saw transactions worth $100 billion in the same duration, a record high. Further, NPCI is looking at $1 trillion worth of transactions through UPI on an annual basis. As India aspires to become a $5 trillion economy by 2025, digital payments will significantly contribute in getting us there.\u00a0<\/span><b style=\"color: #111111; font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 1.6315em;\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carrying forward the mission of Cashless and Digital India, Razorpay is India\u2019s first full-stack financial solutions provider.
