ABSTRACT
This article discusses the recent growth of the Fintech industry in Andhra Pradesh, India, with over 120 start-ups focused on digital payments, lending, insurance, and wealth management. The state government has significantly promoted Fintech innovation and adoption through its Fintech Accelerator Program and partnerships with companies such as Paytm and Visa. The Fintech industry is expected to maintain its growth trajectory in 2023, with the government's support and a thriving start-up ecosystem contributing to this growth. A literature review of Fintech in India highlights the industry's rapid growth, particularly in digital payments and lending, and its potential to expand access to financial services for underserved segments of the population. The review also identifies regulatory challenges and lack of trust as barriers to Fintech adoption, the role of Fintech in promoting financial literacy and education, and its potential to address the credit gap in India.
