Why Realme PaySa UPI Hackathon?

We are amazed at the growth of UPI, quick adoption by the Indian consumers and the exponential growth in digital payments that is yet to come. Mobile payment is one of the main pillars of our financial services platform and we are studying UPI closely. We strongly believe that our long terms success depends on our ability to consistently innovate and solve real-life problems or make life better. With the UPI Hackathon event, we plan to identify new solutions, use cases and co-create the future of UPI in India. NPCI and HDFC Bank, with their deep experience in digital payments, are supporting us to identify the next best disruptive innovations. We think we can do better when we do it together.

What is UPI Hackathon all about & theme kya hai?

Dream, conceptualize the storyline, share the story, convince us that the story will truly change India, show a willingness to implement, take our support to make the proof of concept and with a bit of luck, win the grand prize. Really simple, isn’t it?

The theme is to work with UPI as the base payment service/platform and provide very innovative or crazy solutions that either make life simpler, save costs, help solve a problem or bring new business opportunities. It could be for individuals or small businesses or it could be useful to urban or rural India.

You could be a student, a start-up with a solution, employees working in very large companies, a payment company or a coder, we are all ears! Please read the document carefully to read the rules of the game.
