1/10 A🧵 for India fintech founders & enthusiasts India's $1T Retail GDP's Digital Shift & Opportunities - From 78% Cash to 78% Digital in 3 years We are closer to a 100% cashless India than we realize. #DigitalIndia #RetailRevolution

2/10 India's retail digital GTV (P2M) went from $280B in Mar '20 to $780B in Mar '23 - Driven by UPI Payments to Merchants: 11x growth🚀 - UPI P2M: From one fifth to 1.5x of card payments 8iVC

3/10 And there is still a lot of headroom to grow 📈 India's current retail GDP is ~$1T & we expect retail digital payments will mature at 3x the underlying GDP. We are at 0.78x right now & we can grow to $3T of digital GTV even if the retail GDP doesn't grow. 8iVC

4/10 Ten years out, the size of the prize is a $10T digital payment pipe moving India's retail GDP around 💰 By then, the biggest horizontal winners will power a trillion + dollars of payments each, while multiple vertically focused leaders will be at $100B+ GTV. 8iVC

5/10 The fee based revenue pool is ~$50B on this $10T pipe. That's a potential $500B MCAP opportunity for fintechs WITHOUT B/S lending💰 Key Assumption: Blended take rate of 50 bps on $10T of GTV. Its reasonable- if we layer on credit leads, S/W & insurance across? 8iVC

6/10 Where is the next consumer fintech opportunity? -Credit on UPI The largest originators of consumer loans WONT be banks Frictionless fintech apps like PhonePe sliceit_ Paytm Freo that survive the current consolidation wave as well as new challengers. 8iVC

7/10 What will drive B2B adoption of digital payments? If COVID drove consumer adoption of fintech, Digital compliance credit & collections will drive B2B adoption up the supply chain. So where is the next B2B fintech opportunity?💰 8iVC

8/10 The next big fintech wave in India will be led by vertical B2B use cases. And it's wide open 👍 Retail B2B digital payments are nascent today & hold the potential to be at least 2x the consumer payments opportunity. 8iVC

9/10 Who will capture this B2B fintech opportunity? India's SMB economy has been digitally baptised into the formal economy. Vertically focused fintechs that operationalise work-flows and regulatory compliance for the finance function will emerge as early winners. 8iVC
