The mass adoption of internet business and blast in web based shopping have been the single greatest push for digital payments during the Covid-19 pandemic, specialists at an ET online course stated, as limitations on physical organizations constrained Indian purchasers to reclassify their spending conduct.

“I can’t pass this point without featuring the blast in internet business,” said Praveena Rai, COO of computerized installments railroad NPCI, at The Economic Times-Back to Business Dialogs – The fate of advanced banking and installments in a post-pandemic world.

Rai said, “The development is unmistakably more conspicuous on web based business during Unlock than before pre-pandemic and during the principal period of lockdown. Here, the open door is in conversion of Cash on Delivery (COD) to Digital on Delivery. COD was a creature we were attempting to tame, and it appears to be that its day has at last come”.

Industry heads said they considered this to be a large opportunity because of the phenomenal flood in first-time users and traders embracing digital modes.
