While speaking at the launch event that took place in Mumbai, Praveena Rai, COO, NPCI said that they are delighted to partner with Paytm. Meanwhile, Vijay Shekhar Sharma said that Rupay from NPCI has changed the game! RuPay and NPCI have been leading the charge for financial inclusion, which includes reach, accessibility, and customer convenience. Therefore, we will use RuPay to ride this wave along with SBI Card. This will be a significant leap.

Rama Mohan Rao Amara, MD & CEO of SBI Card, who was also present at the launch, was the subject of a conversation that Sharma also shared. “Rao is getting calls on the company’s customer care support line asking for a RuPay card,” he stated. That proves beyond a doubt that our collaboration with RuPay will be a winning formula for success.
