India’s financial ecosystem is on a roll, and
focused technological innovations have given a fillip to this upwards curve.
Technology has been disrupting the way businesses function across the globe,
and online transactions, mobile payments, wire transfers and e-wallets have
already reshaped the entire banking sector, with newer technologies being
introduced at a rapid pace. Information Technology is one of the most important
facilitators for the transformation of the Indian banking industry, and if
banking today is a flourishing industry, it is because of the underlying
technological innovation it has so readily embraced. Over the last three years,
there have been countless numbers of innovative applications and systems used
by the financial services industry to offer world-class products and services
to the Indian market.
