Now is the time to look at policy as a societal platform. Through the intersection of policy, platforms and products is where social change is possible.The digital payment option for people in the banking sector was less than 5%. This was due to cumbersome user experience and fragmented payment systems. The RBI came up with a vision policy as a solution to this inefficiency. They envisioned UPI to become a public payment platform.
