The WealthTech Industry in India has witnessed rapid growth thanks to growing personal wealth, increased penetration of mobiles and digital channels, and reduced unevenness of information between small & large financial institutions and investors.
While the Payments and Alternative Finance segments accounted for more than 90% of the sector's investment flows in 2015, there has been a significant shift in investment distribution across industries since then. FinTech SaaS and InsurTechs received total assets of $145 million and $215 million in 2020, respectively, marking a 4-5X increase over their funding flow in 2015.
In terms of digital payments, India has made significant progress. India's first real-time payment systems' IMPS' was introduced in 2010, and UPI was introduced in 2016. Currently, there are 375 Payment startups in the country, out of which 50% of startups are digital wallets, gateways, mobile POS sub-segments.
With over 15 Neo-banks now operating in India, several of which are in development or beta stages, India is emerging as a crucial area for growth in the space. Several private banks have partnered with Fintechs to seek synergies and improved service delivery methods, and the segment has been gradually developing.
