The success of India's FinTech industry can be attributed to the country's advanced digital infrastructure, a large and untapped customer base, the affordability of data plans, and widespread smartphone accessibility.

Despite the sector encountering unique challenges such as regulatory compliance, increased scrutiny from regulators, shareholders, and the government, as well as the ever-present threat of cyber data breaches that companies must navigate to ensure their sustainability and success, various demand and supply-side factors, along with advanced digital infrastructure, are poised to facilitate rapid expansion in the FinTech ecosystem.
