Ezetap Mobile Solutions Pvt Ltd, now under Razorpay, emerged victorious in the ‘Innovative, easy-to-use, digital banking services for differently-abled (Divyaang)’ category.

PoSMirror, another Indian entry, secured a joint runner-up position. Their ingenious application empowers visually impaired individuals to independently operate Point of Sale (PoS) devices. Utilizing AI, the app guides users to enter their PIN on a Braille-enabled add-on screen, enhancing their self-sufficiency in transactions.
SL Avatar, also a joint runner-up, presented a solution focusing on inclusivity. Their creation translates speech and text into sign language and vice versa, ensuring accessibility across digital banking platforms. This innovation covers various touchpoints like Video KYC, Customer Support, Mobile and Video Banking, as well as educational resources.
