India's fintech market is ballooning thanks to several factors within the country, including favorable demographics, growing technology adoption among its citizenry, higher disposable incomes, supportive regulators encouraging innovation, and more savvy and aware customers.
The sector is estimated to reach $1 trillion in assets under management by 2030, according to a report published by Chiratae Ventures and EY. This is a tenfold increase from its AUM of roughly $100 billion in 2021.
