Dear readers,
What will drive the next wave of mobile payments and
digital commerce? This edition of Vritti will answer this
question on everyone’s mind.
First up, we talk about the buzz word of this year
‘Conversational Commerce’ in the article “Conversational
Commerce: The New Kid on the Block”
Next we turn our attention to an increasing use of
Biometrics in payments in the article “National ID for
Payments: The Case of Aadhaar in India”
Further, we discuss the news that made headlines at
Mobile World Congress 2017 in “Mobile Payments
Takes Centre Stage at the MWC 2017”.
Women will constitute majority of the new mobile and
mobile money users. In our last two articles we discuss
how to increase women’s participation in the mobility
world in the articles “Reducing Mobile Money Gender
Gap” and “Private Recharge: Empowering Women and
Ensuring their Security”
I hope you enjoy reading our articles like we enjoy
writing them for you.
Happy Reading!
