Why we're building TravelUPI

I was back in Gurugram and wanted to buy something from a small seller. Partly because I needed it, mostly because I wanted to help them out.

I had no cash. Everyone around me was scanning a QR code. My UPI wouldn't work, because my NRI account was hard to fund and fixing it would take weeks.

So I walked away without buying it.

It was a small moment, but millions of NRIs and visitors hit the same wall every time they come to India.

It's time India's payments welcomed everyone who comes home.
