In the first part of The Bottomline, we explored the transformative impact of fintechs and projected the fintech ecosystem to create $400 billion in value by FY30. We then mapped India’s billion-plus heterogeneous, addressable fintech users in the second part, identifying underserved areas and outlining opportunities for fintechs to create value across different segments.

We are thrilled to unveil ‘Reaching a Billion’, which explores how fintechs can acquire and serve India’s billion-plus users. We delve into how financial services are becoming increasingly contextual, embedded at the point of user interaction, and omnipresent across India’s digital economy.

As supply chains digitize, open digital networks emerge, and consumer platforms scale, financial services are rapidly expanding their reach. We examine how the convergence of these trends could create a $25 billion revenue opportunity by FY30.

📈 Some highlights from the report:

1. Many large consumer platforms have an ‘at-scale fintech unicorn’hidden within them. It is estimated that Indian platforms can create additional annual revenue of $10-15bn by FY30 by embedding fintech across payments, lending and insurance.
2. India has one-of-a-kind open digital networks that can fundamentally reach an enormous scale and embedding financial services can generate potential annual revenue of >$5bn by FY30.
3. Digitization of fragmented B2B supply chains in India can potentially unlock supply chain financing revenue of $10-12bn by FY30.

As with all reports in The Bottomline series, this report captures our deep thesis on the fintech sector, insights from a comprehensive survey of 70+ industry experts and in-depth conversations with ~30 industry leaders, and leverages our knowledge partner McKinsey & Company’s analytical fact base of the Indian financial ecosystem.
