India: The Epicenter of Fintech Revolution

India is defining the global fintech evolution. With 65,000+ crore digital transactions in just six years and UPI powering 85% of national payments (and nearly half the world’s), India’s fintech landscape has become a benchmark for scale, agility, and inclusion.

As the RBI’s new Digital Lending Directions (2025) usher in an era of transparency and accountability, design takes center stage… compelling financial institutions to craft clearer, more human, and trust-driven digital experiences.

The result is impressive. As per Deloitte India’s Digital Banking Maturity (DBM) Report, Indian banks now rank above global averages in UX maturity, signaling a new era of design-led compliance and customer-first innovation that the world is watching closely.
