Techapto Foundation
The last mile of India's digital payments is the front door.
UPI is one of the world's great payment systems, built for residents. We research how NRIs and visitors pay in India, and work with communities, industry and policymakers to open it to everyone who comes home, or comes to visit.
Celebrating UPI, and extending it
India built one of the world's best payment systems. Techapto Foundation is the research and dialogue arm behind TravelUPI. It works separately from the commercial product.
Our aim is simple: let's extend UPI to everyone who comes home, and to everyone who comes to visit.
